All conditions met!

Getting There

It was our first time visiting, so we were a little confused about the directions...

⭐️ Search for Mandiga on T-map (Korean GPS app) ⭐️

It's right next to Mandiga Butcher Shop!

I'm not sure if we took the wrong turn from the beginning...

Or if there's another way to get there, but...

The route we took was a little rough.

The sound of the grass hitting the car on the side...

"Is this the right way...?"

That's what we were thinking as we drove. lol

We booked Building A!

Exterior

Mandiga Pool Villa is right next to Mandiga Butcher Shop!

The exterior is clean and new, as expected.

Greenery all around.

View of the pension from the Jokgu court.

Jokgu Court

It was great for kids to run around and for walking the dog.

Private Barbecue Area

The outdoor patio is directly connected to the living room, which was very convenient.

You don't have to go all the way around through the front door.

▪️ Charcoal + Grill Rental = ₩20,000 (Pay on-site)

The charcoal wasn't quite what we expected.

We even wrapped potatoes in foil to grill, but...

We couldn't make it. 😭 So sad.

Bonfire possible (Building A only)

▪️ ₩20,000 per use

Interior of the 1st Floor

2 Rooms, 2 Bathrooms

Small Room

There's a fan, but no AC ❎

But the living room AC is powerful enough

So the room doesn't get hot and you can sleep comfortably.

Spacious Living Room

Netflix available

Master Bedroom - AC available

Clothes rack available

Instead of a bed,

A plush mattress

It was better to have a mattress than a bed since we were with our child.

Various sauces

We brought our own, but we didn't need to 😭

Well-organized dishes

No baby spoons

(I brought my own!)

Water purifier

Rice cooker, microwave

A large refrigerator with plenty of blankets and pillows right next to it.

Toothbrushes and 2 towels per person

2 Bathrooms

Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial cleanser, and toothpaste are provided.

Washer and dryer!!!

Having a dryer was so great!

One million stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2nd Floor

Swimming Pool, Outdoor Space, 1 Room

Going up the stairs ????

✳️ Young children should be accompanied by their parents.

Duplex - No AC ❎, Heater ✅

You can sleep in the duplex in the fall and winter, but

It's too hot to sleep there in the summer.

Door leading outside from the duplex room

There are towels on the railing.

You can wipe off after swimming.

We already used them all before taking pictures. 😅

The pool is 1.2m deep!

Perfect for my son who loves to play in the water.

⚠️ Kids MUST wear life jackets or tubes ⚠️

They fill it with clean water before you arrive.

The temperature was lukewarm, which was nice!

▪️ Heated water (one-time): ₩50,000

As you can see in the picture,

There's plenty of room for 2 adults and 3 children.

Actually, 4 adults and 3 children would fit comfortably.

There's a warm water shower to raise your body temperature

After swimming.

What a great touch! 👍

Mandiga at Night

What's with the atmosphere?

Our kids enjoyed night swimming too!

놀라운 광경

매력적인 사진

희망찬 내일

I saw a wild stag beetle for the first time! The kids were amazed too.

The last thing we did at Mandiga was watch Cocomelon again...

(Aren't you tired of it..?)

First trip with my nephew/niece

And it had been a while since our last family trip, so I was excited.

We had a great time and ended the trip well.

It was newly built and clean, which made it even better for going with kids.

The swimming pool was perfect for playing in the water! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Let's go on another trip! Love you.

Another memory saved for today. 🥰

Will I visit again?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
