I'm so into perilla leaves (kkaennip) these days, so I've been making kkaennip kimchi, steamed kkaennip, and kkaennip pickles!

Among all the vegetables, I especially love perilla leaves. I just adore their fragrant aroma.

I know some people dislike them because of their strong scent, but I can't get enough of them.

When I eat grilled meat or sashimi, wrapping them in kkaennip eliminates the greasiness and enhances the flavor.

I made a simple soy sauce-based kkaennip pickle, and it was perfect as a side dish.

My family enjoys kkaennip kimchi, so I make it occasionally, but I think kkaennip pickles will be a hit too.

For this kkaennip pickle recipe, I first made the base sauce and then added additional seasonings for a fragrant and delicious result.

There's a little tip involved: adding a piece of ginger. It adds a subtle aroma that elevates the flavor.

I followed a recipe from one of my favorite chefs, but I halved the amount of each ingredient.

It turned out to be a delicious kkaennip pickle.

Here's the kkaennip pickle recipe!

To ensure the pickling liquid soaks in well,

place a stainless steel lid or plate on top to weigh it down.

That's it for this easy kkaennip pickle recipe!

Let it sit for half a day, then store it in the refrigerator.

As it matures, the perilla leaves will turn slightly yellowish,

enhancing the flavor even more.

I also love pickled kkaennip kimchi,

but this soy sauce kkaennip pickle is a rice thief as well!

Easy to make and delicious kkaennip pickles!

If you make them during the perilla leaf season, you can enjoy them deliciously.

The heavy rain has made the weather cooler.

Today is my daughter's day off, so we're going to Myeongdong and Namdaemun Market.

Have a healthy and enjoyable day!

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.
