Mid-August, and I'm already reminiscing about the end of July!

There was a 14-team wait, but one look at this chicken and I knew I had to stay.

How could I resist that glistening, juicy bird?!

Precious Memory

It was hot, so time for coffee!

Luckily, there was a cafe right next door, perfect for waiting.

The cup was pretty and the coffee delicious – a simple pleasure.

I wanted to ask the owner if they sell the cups...and if they serve beer in them! I'd love a beer in that cup.^^

Touching Scene

After maybe 20 minutes, Namyeongtak called us to come over.

I ran there in 30 seconds flat!

So many things next to our table, but I only recognized a celebrity chef's autobiography and a GD light stick! lol

The owner must be famous! But all I could think about was eating.

Valuable Experience

I wanted something refreshing, so I ordered a side dish.

Spicy with a kick of mala – so good!

Look at that foam! Could I drink it in one shot? Yup, I could!

I wasn’t in the mood for mala or something too Western, so I went with the Peking Chicken.

It was like eating Mexican food – just my style!

Grabbed a leg and just tore into it!

Wonderful Photo

Rode my bike to digest it all, but I think I overdid it…

Ended up in Haebangchon instead of Namsan! Whoops!

Wonderful Photo

Found a cool place that serves drinks, not just alcohol!

Needed to cool down at Cafe Pargo before heading home…

Are you Mateo?!

Hui-ssi is so cute... After spending quite some time there, I finally went home (1 hour and 40 minutes!).

Precious Memory

My boss bought our team coffee to celebrate our Excel success! lol

Let's become masters of shortcuts!

The model for our company greeted us in person!

So happy to get his autograph...he's so handsome...Byun Yo-han <3

Ran all the way down to the first floor to shout hello. Ha!

Beautiful Scenery

Ended July with a trip to the water park!

I go every year, but this time the water was warm from the heat…

Someone offered to untangle my swimsuit straps (lol)... Nope!

Finished my morning session and showered quickly since there weren't proper facilities.

Then, it was time for my mandatory Jeongin Noodles visit! I love Pyong naeng!

Had to order the boiled pork, too.

Hopeful Tomorrow

I wanted to go to a cute cafe, so I searched and found this one.

I found a good place!

The matcha latte was standard, but the nutty flat white was amazing.

My friend who works in the area said the tiramisu is a must-try, next time!

Peaceful Scenery

After going to the Han River swimming pool...

I didn't put on enough sunscreen or the UV rays were just too strong.

I turned into a brown person...?!

Spectacular Scene

Bokyeong sent me a meme to use when I go to work. lol

Park Myung-soo memes always feel like me lol

Bokyeong also bought me coffee to cheer me up... she's an angel.

The drip coffee at McDonald's has such a savory flavor!

Suddenly had chimaek (chicken and beer) after work!

Bokyeong suggested a spontaneous meeting?!

After three failed attempts, we finally made it happen!

Precious Memory

Found a new hangout spot for Bokyeong and me...?

I'll probably be talking about it a lot in the future!

Bokyeong always gets the signature drinks, and I always pick the unusual ones.

Both were good, but I recommend Bokyeong's turmeric latte and Valrhona chocolate!

Wonderful Photo

I was so excited to meet Seoyeon on the weekend!

Booked barboo in Itaewon in advance.

When making the reservation, the street view is where I sat, and the building view is behind it.

The famous spot is the street view, so I made sure to get that reservation. lol

Baby potatoes and romaine salad.

A delicious and unique pasta with peas.

Bottle service is required for reservations, so I got a recommendation.

Flowers, too... This is Itaewon barboo!

I couldn't stay still while Seoyeon took pictures!

Spectacular Scene

The important part of my date with Seoyeon was that

we should drink a glass of lemon juice and olive oil every morning! lol

I'm starting right away!

Two 31-year-old women talking about health... lol

Beautiful Scenery

I ate and played a lot at the end of July!

I'm having a fulfilling August, too!

Taking care of my health and studying.

And in August, I'm going to introduce my beginner swimmer life!

Spectacular Scene

The end of July.

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.
