Hello!

I recently visited Aeil, a wine bar in Haebangchon.

You can reserve a seat in advance through CatchTable. While there isn't a specific option to select a terrace seat on CatchTable, you can inquire about terrace availability by contacting them via @aeil.justpleasure.

To get to Aeil, get off at Noksapyeong Station.

If the weather is nice, walking is an option, but since it's hot, I recommend taking the Yongsan 02 bus. ^^

Yes… I came to Aeil because of this terrace view.

Reserving through CatchTable wasn't too difficult. After making the reservation, I sent a DM to the owner to reserve a terrace seat. (Terrace is pet-friendly) I didn't bring my pet though.

But… the day before visiting Aeil, it was so hot that I was worried about sweating while drinking wine, so I quickly asked the owner to switch my seat to indoors…

But it was cool that day! In the end, someone else reserved the terrace seat, so I moved indoors ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Actually, Aeil has a better atmosphere indoors.

I wonder if they sell cute t-shirts?

Even the menu is so stylish…

Three of us, including myself, visited Aeil!

We considered ordering a bottle, but decided to go with glasses of wine for a lighter experience.

I don't know much about wine, but it was so delicious!

Cheers! It's been a while since we've met.

Thank you for always going along with my preferences. ^^

Aeil also provided a cute setup for us!

We ordered:

✔️French Braised Beef Cheek with Siraegi (Dried Radish Greens)

Aeil has many unique menu items.

This was almost my first time trying braised beef cheek with siraegi. The combination was surprisingly good, and the mashed potato side was the key.

But it gets a bit rich if you eat too much…

One of my friends said it wasn't her style ㅠㅠ

Secondly, we ordered:

✔️Bottarga Aglio e Olio

This was really, really delicious!!!!

The texture of the noodles was so good, and the savory flavor made me want another plate.

The roe is salted mullet roe… The menu is unique as expected.

Oh! And I hate cilantro, but I couldn't taste it much in this dish, so it was okay.

At Aeil, the dishes are served one at a time!

I think I took this picture of the braised beef cheek while eating the aglio e olio.

Lastly, we ordered:

✔️Green Curry with Aged Chicken

This was also delicious.

The chicken was very moist and tender, and it paired well with the green curry.

Burp… We ate everything.

Aeil's menu is all top-notch~~~

If you're not sure what to eat,

I recommend the Aglio e Olio / Chicken.

They're already the best menu items on the menu.

This is someone else's seat that I took a picture of when I was leaving. ㅎㅎㅎ

신비로운 모습

I wanted to sit here, but since there were three of us, we were assigned a side seat in the corner.

It would be a great place to go on a date.

Aeil finished with cute tissues~~~

Since they allow pets, I want to reserve a terrace seat next time and visit with my dog.

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.
