It's another sunny day!

Headed to Kawakatsu! Turns out, this is the main branch. Today's agenda: Using my last 50% off coupon at Paris Baguette. But, the salad sandwich was sold out?! Disappointed, I got a chocolate cake instead (Paris Baguette chocolate cake is the best!). After running errands at the bank, it was finally time to decide what to have for lunch, hehe.

I originally planned to go to Otsukare Hapjeong. But while I was on the bus, I spotted this place. A quick search revealed it to be a popular restaurant?!

Lucky me, I got in without any wait. The prices are a bit on the higher side. But I guess that's expected for this type of tonkatsu restaurant? Since I was craving curry, I also ordered a side of curry.

Honestly, I usually don't follow the [recommended way to eat] that each restaurant provides. I prefer to eat how I want. I tried following the instructions at first, but 8 out of 10 times it wasn't great. But...but!

Here is an image of my Tonkatsu:

Mysterious Look

Finally, the assorted tonkatsu arrived. How good could it be?

Oh my... you HAVE to try it with the olive oil!!!

☆☆☆Olive Oil☆☆☆

(They recommend olive oil + salt, but I preferred just the olive oil, haha.)

Enjoyed a bit of wasabi in between, and also dipped it in the curry. Hahaha

Just like Sarukame, this is another restaurant where you MUST eat it the recommended way! Good good.

Next time I'll have to try the chicken katsu!

August 20th, memorable moments:

- The tonkatsu was めちゃくちゃ delicious (extremely delicious)!

- While eating, for the first time in my life, I had left-handed people sitting on both sides of me. I know there are more left-handed people these days, but this was a first! A truly fascinating experience!

Lefties win!

...

Summer vacation is almost over.

Which means summer is ending.

Ugh, so sad. Really, really sad..

But autumn, which I love, is coming!

Let's radiate positive energy!

But this semester's schedule... is a bit tough, hehe.

I'll figure it out somehow... right?????????????

I had a good day today.

It was fun????????????

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.
