Hello, everyone! It's Sososang!

Following my last post, I'm going to introduce another amazing restaurant in Busan.

This time, I visited a famous Busan restaurant known for its long waiting times:

Chopilsal BBQ (Haeundae Main Branch)!

A Warm Memory

✔️Address: 107, A-dong, Byuksan E-Orange Plaza, 23, Marinecity 3-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan

✔️Hours: Daily 17:00-24:00 (Last Order 23:00)

✔️Parking Available

I heard that the Gwangalli branch of Chopilsal BBQ is also very popular, but we chose the Haeundae branch because our accommodation was nearby!

This Busan trip was all about conquering restaurants with waiting lines...⭐️

Happy Time

Chopilsal BBQ is famous in Busan for its waiting times.

They open at 17:00, but the waiting list starts at 16:30.

So, we went around 16:00 and waited.

As soon as the waiting list started, we registered on the CatchTable app!

When I went at 16:00, it said the waiting list was closed, so I was like, "Huh?!!"

But it was closed because it hadn't started yet ^_^..

Don't panic like I did! Go a little early!

Valuable Experience

We put our name on the waiting list and, since it opened at 17:00, went to a nearby Paris Baguette.

We waited while drinking coffee!

It was too hot to wait outside ㅜㅜ

This restaurant is a CatchTable Waiting TOP100 restaurant with many Blue Ribbons..!

I was so excited~~✨

Happy Moment

We were second in line!

It seems like you don't have to come *too* early!!

You can probably arrive around 16:30 ㅎㅎ

I loved that they served perilla leaves and even pollack roe as side dishes?! The pollack roe was the real star..⭐️

I really like it when a Korean BBQ restaurant has a variety of side dishes like this ㅎㅎ~~

Special Moment

We ordered pork skin and pork belly.

They grilled the pork skin first!!

But when they grill the skin, it splatters *a lot*…????????????

Everyone was complaining about getting burned ㅜㅜ

Peaceful Scenery

My family was all covering their faces with aprons ㅋㅋ

It wasn't just a little bit of splattering, it was so much.

We couldn't help it…⭐️

The pork skin was so delicious that I could forgive the splattering a million times over⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was the best pork skin I've ever had in my life!!

Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside!!

Dipping the pork skin in soybean powder was heavenly ㅋㅋ!

Everyone should try the pork skin~~

We ate the pork belly and then ordered more pork skin!

It was the first time I ordered this much pork skin at a BBQ restaurant ㅎㅎ

Special Moment

The pork belly that we ordered came with a fermented anchovy sauce!

I was looking forward to the pork belly because the pork skin was so good.

The pork belly was good, but it was more ordinary than I expected!

It seems Chopilsal BBQ is famous for its pork skin..⭐️

A pork skin restaurant so delicious that I'll crave it again next time~

I recommend it to anyone who likes pork skin!!

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.
