I saw this sign so many times traveling between Gangneung, Yangyang, and Sokcho!

Driving along Donghae-daero Road.

Gangneung

Base Camp Glamping, where I stayed in Gangneung.

We bought groceries from Gangneung Central Market and had a BBQ.

Pet-friendly and very comfortable.

Caravans remodeled from buses were also available.

Right near Base Camp Glamping is

Sacheon Port.

A quiet stroll to the white lighthouse at night.

It was the best healing summer night.

Among the many beaches in Gangwon-do,

Jumunjin felt particularly peaceful and comforting.

Jumunjin

Shows up on the navigation as 'Goblin Filming Location'.

Gangneung Jumunjin cafe where you can sit and look out over Jumunjin:

Cafe Tteul, Sinabro.

At Gangneung Jumunjin's

Gangnaengi Sokkuri, where the cafe's concept and name are a perfect match.

Sitting on the wooden porch,

I ate a patented Gangnaengi (corn) ice cream made by deeply brewing Gangwon-do's glutinous corn.

At Anmok Beach,

It was the first time in my life that I saw the sunrise.

Donghwa Garden's famous spicy Jjamppong Sundubu (tofu stew) in Gangneung's Chodang Sundubu Village.

It was worth the wait.

But it was really spicy ㅎㅎ

Near Donghwa Garden,

I also ate Jjamppong Sundubu at another Sundubu restaurant with no wait.

It wasn't super delicious, but

It was okay.

After eating Chodang Sundubu,

I went to Gangneung Sand Chodang Direct Store

And stocked up on Gangneung Sand as souvenirs.

They are great for gifts and so delicious!

Yangyang

Dog paradise, Yangyang Mung Beach -

Peace is here -

I did an open run to Farmer's Kitchen, Yangyang's famous handmade burger place.

Even though I went early,

I waited for about an hour.

It was tasty, but whether it was worth waiting an hour is

Slightly questionable.

Everything is about the mood! I eat with the mood!

There is a terrace seat,

Indoor seats on the 2nd floor, and a rooftop.

Precious memory

Huhyuam was so nice.

I parked the car in the public parking lot below the entrance to Huhyuam and

Climbed up a steep hill,

But there were cars going up the hill?

There was a parking lot on top of the hill... ㅠ

Anyway.

Isn't the name Huhyuam so cute?

Rest, rest, Huhyuam ㅎㅎ

I like historical temples, but

It's a careful thing to say,

But I really enjoy temples that have

Slightly kitsch and chaotic statues and sculptures.

The best I've been to with this vibe is

Tin Hau Temple in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong.

At Huhyuam, while enjoying peaceful ocean views,

If you turn around, the statues greet you, saying, Welcome! Rest and go with a smile!

Impressive sight

I made a wish while praying,

And walked around the statue in a big circle.

Naksansa Temple was really nice, but I didn't take any pictures.

If you go to Yangyang, be sure to visit Naksansa Temple.

The ocean view from Naksansa Temple and

The large Avalokitesvara statue are really amazing.

And the scenery I stopped to see while getting gas,

A picture of the ocean from somewhere -

Since I came to Gangwon-do, I had to eat a crab set.

I went to a neighborhood in Sokcho where seafood restaurants are gathered.

Amazing sight

I like the big places, but

I comfortably enjoyed a crab set while sitting in a small room with a sea view.

Full of celebrity autographs.

The final seafood ramen was so delicious.

Highly recommend.

Went to Sokcho Central Market,

Ate a full meal of various snacks,

Finished at Sokcho Beach.

Looking at Sokcho Eye,

I wondered if I would come again someday.

Thank you, Gangwon-do -

Thanks to you, my complicated mind is getting lighter.

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.
