This post is a subjective review written with partial support from the business.

I was looking for a private space and discovered Velocirake, a pool villa pension in Gapyeong.

Located about an hour and a half by car from Seoul, it's easily accessible. Even before arriving, the natural scenery unfolding on both sides of the road was soothing.

Especially while driving along the Bukhan River, I felt more and more relaxed as I got closer to the pension!

The room I booked was a family room where we could use the entire 3rd floor. The space was large and well-organized, so it felt like home.

With a kitchen, living room, and two bathrooms each, it felt more like a short move than a trip.

There were also two bedrooms with three queen-size beds each, so we could sleep comfortably. Various amenities were well-equipped, making it convenient!

I especially loved the river view from the room.

Just looking at the scenery outside the window, with a view of the Bukhan River at a glance, made me feel calm and happy.

Also, we had a great time grilling meat at the outdoor barbecue area and enjoying a campfire.

Adding aurora powder to the firewood changed the color of the flames, making it a unique experience :))

There was a large screen and beam projector in the living room, so we watched Netflix with friends, and there was also a coin karaoke room, so we enjoyed singing all night long.

Warm Memories

There's also a kids zone for children, making it a good choice for families.

In the evening, we could soak our feet in the foot bath and talk comfortably. The bedding and mattress were comfortable, so we could sleep soundly even after playing all day!

Warm Memories

Also, the Velocirake pool villa in Gapyeong had basic amenities well-prepared, so there was no need to pack separately.

There are many tourist attractions nearby such as Nami Island, Jaraseom Island, and the Garden of Morning Calm. You can also go grocery shopping near Gapyeong Station and use the pick-up service, making it convenient for those who come without a car.

Peaceful Scenery

Early check-in and late check-out are available, so if you want to spend a relaxing time, you can use them for an additional fee, which was even better :)

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.
