March of last year.

In Jeju Island.

I ran a half marathon along the coast and walked through the Saryeoni Forest on a rainy day.

I also hiked Mount Hallasan.

This is a story from my trip to Jeju Island last year.

What I realized then:

"Walking while seeing beautiful scenery is truly wonderful."

So,

I planned a trip to walk and enjoy things.

When you drive,

the scenes pass by too quickly.

Charming View

I wanted to slow down,

take my time, and savor the beauty.

After getting off the plane,

under the hot Jeju sun.

Special Moment

My journey towards the first accommodation began.

The first destination, Iho Tewoo Beach, was an easy 5km distance,

but

walking under the hot sun wasn't easy.

Interesting Image

I stopped by a convenience store

and bought a 1+1 drink,

but

in the summer heat of Jeju,

the remaining can quickly became warm.

Then,

I saw a plane.

Mysterious Look

How romantic!

Peaceful Landscape

"Very Jeju-esque."

I only knew about the Iho Tewoo Lighthouse,

I didn't know there was a beach until now.

Hot, but

the sky was clear.

Valuable Experience

Right next to it was the coastal road.

A common sight.

The romance of running along the beach.

After passing Iho Tewoo Beach,

I started walking along the bike path

towards the remaining 30km.

Thinking about it after the trip,

Fantastic Scene

Besides downtown Jeju,

there didn't seem to be many tall buildings.

The scenery along the coastal road was the best.

You could see the clouds well,

Bright Future

A feeling you can't experience on the mainland.

Wonderful Picture

Like a watercolor painting.

Is this when you use that expression?

It really felt like I was on a trip.

Beautiful Scenery

It was so great.

Dreamlike Moment

It was too hot though.

I saw a restaurant while walking.

I went in without hesitation.

Wonderful Picture

The charm of travel.

Peaceful Landscape

It was good.

The taste was similar to Sanji Haejangguk (Hangover stew)~

The owner asked me,

"Are you walking the Olle Trail?"

Gorgeous Scene

That's what it felt like.

It felt like a true Jeju local.

Warm Memories

'Thank you for asking.'

Peaceful Landscape

"It was my first conversation in Jeju."

And as I walked,

Hopeful Tomorrow

I arrived in Aewol.

Beautiful Scenery

The beach in Aewol.

Amazing Sight

It was so pretty.

Really.

Even the sunlight reflecting on the water.

It was perfect.

Dreamlike Moment

I walked all the way to Aewol.

I deserve to be proud of myself.

The reason I came to the Aewol cafe street

was

Mysterious Look

I watched Noh Hee-young's YouTube video that suddenly popped up on my algorithm

before coming to Jeju.

I wanted to go to the taco place that was featured there,

because I originally like Mexican food,

I had high expectations.

People line up to eat it in Seoul...

I should just keep living in the countryside...

After looking around Aewol,

I could have gone straight to the accommodation,

but

the "Gwakji" beach I saw for the first time was so beautiful.

Although I was tired, I changed the course to the Olle Trail.

I walked a little further.

It was tough at the time,

but

now that I think about it,

I think it was a really good decision.

I think I reached my limit around this point.

I wanted to see the sunset

and go to the accommodation,

but

I was too tired

and headed straight to the accommodation.

The "Tiger House" that I was looking forward to before coming...

Maybe because it was an old house...

As soon as I arrived, a centipede was crawling in my cup...

And there were bugs in the bathroom...

Seeing the bugs,

instead of feeling sentimental,

I was quite disappointed...

Seeing that there was a bug-catching tool,

it must be a frequent occurrence...

I sipped beer alone,

and because I had to walk 37km the next day,

I went to bed early.

I saw so many beautiful things.

It was a happy 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.
