Lunchtime is a precious break in the midst of a tiring work life. Finding a place that offers a balanced meal, a neat and satisfying spread, and doesn't leave you feeling bloated afterwards is a real treat.

For Sangam office workers looking for a satisfying and fuss-free lunch, I highly recommend...

<Branch Information>

There are more branches than I thought! It seems they are mainly located in areas with offices or commercial districts.

<Menu>

Their most popular menu items are the 10,000 KRW Doenjang (fermented soybean paste) set meals!

The set includes:

  • Yeolmu Bibimbap (young radish bibimbap)
  • Doenjang Jjigae (doenjang stew)
  • Grilled Pork Belly
  • Fresh Cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew)

The combination is well-rounded and harmonious!

Whether you choose the sea snails, clams, or beef doenjang jjigae, they're all delicious. It's best to choose according to your preference.

Personally, I recommend sea snails > clams > beef!

Today, I went with the sea snail doenjang jjigae.

The set also includes:

  • A perfectly cooked soft-boiled fried egg
  • Crunchy, spicy, and tangy yeolmu bibimbapGorgeous Scene
  • Five slices of golden-brown grilled pork bellyMysterious Look
  • Fresh cheonggukjang to enhance the flavor of the bibimbap

And...

The doenjang jjigae that tests whether you're a true Korean office worker or a foreigner - YES, it's a boiling pot! Don't worry, it won't boil forever.

Mama Doenjang's doenjang jjigae is said to be made without any chemical seasonings. Perhaps that's why it has a clean and refreshing taste, with the individual ingredients shining through, rather than being thick and savory.

Some may prefer a stronger flavor, but I love that it doesn't leave a heavy aftertaste!

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a healthy and satisfying lunch!

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.
