Here comes another slice of life, thin and long!

To be honest, July wasn't all that eventful...

Let's dive in!

~Business Trip~

A business trip with a conference fee? Time for some delicious black bean noodles (Jjajangmyeon)!

After a long stay at dormitory + the aftermath of a car accident,

I finally went to PT after almost two months... Back to square one with my body ^^

Writing a self-reflection, thankful things didn't get worse.

Good luck with your business!

If you ever need an advertising agency, hit me up!

They're seriously good at what they do.

~Pre-Wedding Gathering~ Note: This isn't *my* wedding invitation.

Caught up with a friend after only lurking on her blog - it was her pre-wedding gathering.

The wood-fired pizza was great, and the gnocchi was good!

Off to round two!

Charming Photo

I saw the sign, and first thought the place was named Sh*t.

A bad-language user reflects and leaves...

The view... is this right?

Of course, I didn't take this photo.

Reflecting on my photography skills.

Pretty much a whole day of self-reflection.

Wondering what to eat for my last supper before being stuck at the dormitory,

I ended up throwing a meat party!

I was happy because there was more meat than rice.

Joyful Moment

A taste of Kyoto in Korea...!!

Ah, I want to go to Kyoto again.

After wandering around busily,

A friend received a ramen revelation and we went to Butanchu.

It was my first time, and why didn't I go sooner?

I want to go to Japan.

Touching Scene

Braised chicken is hard to be bad but also hard to be amazing.

I want to eat delicious braised chicken.

Wait, I worked out pretty hard, didn't I...?

Because I'm using flexible work hours,

I don't have as many reasons to use my paid leave as I thought.

I'm writing my paid leave plan, and I wish I could write it like that.

Wonderful Photo

Koo Koo's Sushi Buffet after a long time.

Wow, you've gotten a lot better...?

And I ate even more than that! So much more!

The dessert was so-so... I don't go to buffets for the bread ^^

Charming Photo

Eating somewhat healthy at the dormitory.

It cost 10,000 won for what I filled up in the tray.

In my mind it should be 7,000... Something's not right...

Korean buffet near work.

Love you, Galbi (Korean BBQ short ribs)!

Splendid Scene

Got a cake for the team leader's birthday

(Actually, I just wanted to eat it)

It was delicious with a lot of mango ㅠㅠ

Special Moment

Small dinner with team members~

Hangover cure~

Went to Pyeongtaek to hang out.

Isn't the sign cute?

Mysterious Look

Visiting a baby in Pyeongtaek.

Wow, you're so squishy and cute...?

LOLOLOLOLOL

I bent down to pick something up for a second and

The baby grabbed my hair!

That's dirty, don't eat it ㅠ

Touching Scene

A nice Vietnamese restaurant opened in front of my house, so I visited it.

The taste wasn't bad.

Escape room after a long time!

Danpyeonseon Gangnam Graduation Complete -★

Warm Memories

Yeongyo, when will you ever disappoint me ㅠ

Never fails to deliver.

Another self-reflection...

Valuable Experience

Went to eat octopus for a team dinner.

It was creepy, but really delicious ㅠ

They cooked half the head into fried rice + ramen

And I was eating the food with my face in the bowl.

Happy Time

Longtteo Bone Soup

The flavor seems to have gotten richer since the last time I went.

Bone soup is best eaten alone????????

Peaceful Scenery

Ate tteokdoritang (braised chicken and tteokbokki).

A good thing about having an office in Gangnam is

Being able to go to delicious restaurants for lunch?

Special Moment

Will it really be okay?

I started using the air conditioner this summer, and it didn't seem very cool.

Even with power cooling, the room temperature wouldn't drop below 27 degrees Celsius, so

I called a technician right away.

Touching Scene

They completely disassembled the outdoor unit.

It came out to 370,000 won.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Now my house is cold.

After Danpyeonseon, I got hooked on escape rooms again...

Is it really necessary for the waiting room to be this cool?

Splendid Scene

Trust and destroy, Key Escape.

If you succeed in the <My Room> theme, they give you a ticket like that.

There are many things that only the escapees know.

I want to go back to that theme as an observer.

Interesting Image

First time trying tsukemen.

It was saltier than I thought, and had a surprisingly intense umami flavor.

Wonderful Photo

When you come to the dormitory? You have to eat hot cheese boneless chicken~

I need something spicy.

Special Moment

Another Korean buffet... The menu is very substantial, isn't it?

Special Moment

Draft beer in the summer ㅠ

Dreamlike Moment

What about a Korean buffet that gives out half a chicken soup on Boknal (Dog Days)?

So, that's how July wrapped up.

Not much happened, right?

August will probably be...

Anyway, I'll be back again.

Please show lots of interest and support!

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.
