Hello, it's Susu Ho Ho Bread! (수수호호빵입니다)

I'm recording my trip to Hongdae and Hapjeong in Seoul during the sweltering summer.

We decided to meet in the train after departing from Asan Station and Cheonan Station, respectively!

One person booked the wrong seat...and the other forgot their transportation card haha.

It was a chaotic party from the start!

Since I was in Hongdae after a long time, I wanted to visit a souvenir shop, so I went to Mushroom Paper Farm.

The space was smaller than I thought, but everything inside was related to diaries.

It was fun looking at each and every item.

Should I try making my own diary next year...?

Precious Memories

I tried an escape room for the first time at Door Escape Hongdae, and it was more fun than I thought!

I couldn't take pictures because phones weren't allowed, but it felt like I was filming the Great Escape TV show, and finding clues was so much fun.

Am I surprisingly good at escape rooms...? (Even though we went over the time limit by 6 minutes)

The concept was that we stole something... I should try a horror one next time ;;

Special Moment

For dinner, we went to the main branch of Ore no Ramen. (Oh my... I went at the end of July, but they moved in late August!)

I had saved this ramen restaurant a while ago, and it was nearby, so we came here.

I was worried about a long wait, but we went a little before 5 PM, and there were only about two teams waiting.

Bright Future

They only had these two types of ramen!

So, we ordered one of each :)

Fun Moment

Just seeing the Michelin guide makes me excited..

I wonder how delicious it will be!

Peaceful Scenery

Oh my, milky white broth!

First of all, the visuals pass!

It had a savory taste like chicken gomtang (chicken bone soup)!

It was the most delicious ramen I've had recently, so I can see why it's so famous.

Awesome Picture

This is Tori Paitan Ramen.

Mysterious Appearance

This is Kara Paitan Ramen.

Peaceful Scenery

I heard that Kara Paitan Ramen is a spicier version of Tori Paitan Ramen.

But to me, the two ramens weren't just different in spiciness.

I think the taste itself was a bit different!

Tori Paitan is more savory and tastes like chicken gomtang, so it feels good for the body!

Kara Paitan is naturally spicier and more stimulating!

Thinking about it, the spiciness might affect the taste ㅎㅎ

But they're both so delicious that I recommend trying both!

Splendid Scene

There were many cute erasers at the ODOM souvenir shop.

I like these useless and absurd things.

Even if I can't buy them, just looking at them is cute and healing,,

Beautiful Scenery

On the way to the cafe, there were people lining up!

It turned out to be Lee Chan-hyuk's Inspiration Well.

Lee Chan-hyuk from AKMU that I know has a well now,,

I was curious, but there were too many people, so I quickly passed by.

Mysterious Appearance

I found Cafe Blurr while looking for a Han River view cafe nearby.

I think the view was pretty, but the chairs weren't very comfortable to sit on for a long time.

I think it's because I had high expectations.

Still, it was a good cafe for seeing the Han River view.

I'm satisfied because we talked a lot while looking out the window.

Impressive Look

Now it's time to return to Cheonan.

I'll come to Seoul again in the fall!

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.
