It's been a while since my last visit!

I think the last time I was here was for brunch with my parents?

This is my first time back since then?!

I ordered the Jjukkumi (small octopus) set menu.

It's 14,000 won per person.

When did the price go up this much?

I think I would have said it was good value for money in my previous posts, but I'm not so sure now.

Still, it comes with a variety of things...

Actually, I don't really need anything else but the acorn pancake (Dotori Jeon).

You can buy the acorn pancake separately for 8,000 won.

It seems that all the menu items are available for individual purchase, and they also offer takeout.

I heard that an acquaintance once only ordered the acorn pancake for takeout.

The acorn pancake is crispy, but why is it so small? Haha.

Did it shrink? Lol.

It doesn't seem to have much in the way of vegetables and looks pretty simple, but...

Anything that's pan-fried or deep-fried is delicious.

The seaweed soup is self-service.

The set also includes salad (mostly lettuce) and acorn jelly salad.

The restaurant is long and narrow.

The menu is above.

The Jjukkumi looks like it's seasoned deliciously, but...

It almost feels like there's not enough sauce.

If you want to mix it with rice,

It would be nice if there were a bit more vegetables and broth.

But why do the legs of the octopus look so creepy to me? Random thought.

So I cut them up into small pieces with scissors or mainly eat the head part~;

I think I go there mainly for the acorn pancake, haha.

Anyway, I ate a lot, although I didn't eat much Jjukkumi, haha.

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.
