Hello, everyone! It's Henny here!

What kind of stamina food do you usually eat in the summer?

I always make sure to have *chueotang* (loach soup) during the summer. When we found out that my baby, Ddudu, was conceived, I remember eating so much *chueotang* because I heard it was good for implantation!

*Chueotang* can sometimes be fishy or have a muddy taste if not made properly. Today, I'd like to introduce Onggoljin Chueotang, a restaurant that everyone loves!

Hours: 11:30 AM - 7:00 PM

Closed: Every Sunday

Location & Parking

There isn't a separate parking lot, so you'll have to park on the side of the road in front of the restaurant. It's a side street, but it's not too crowded with cars, so parking is relatively easy!

Delicious soup

Menu

Their main dish is *chueotang*, and I highly recommend the 'Siraegi Chueotang' (Loach Soup with Dried Radish Greens).

I heard that they have their own loach farm! Doesn't that sound reliable?

Side dishes

The side dishes include a fried egg or a boiled egg, which they also produce themselves! It's a blue egg (Cheongran), and it's really delicious.

Sizzling hot!

This is Gangwon-style *chueotang*, so it's based on red pepper paste (gochujang). That might be why it's not muddy and tastes very clean.

Delicious soup

Overall Review

Loaches raised directly on their farm.

Thanks to a bowl of warm *chueotang*, my stomach felt full, and my tired heart felt comforted. It was a day where I realized again that food isn't just about filling your stomach, but it's also a small, medicinal comfort.

Delicious soup

I heard they also do deliveries, so please inquire by phone!

If you need a hearty meal, I highly recommend trying *chueotang* here at least once!

TMI) As places to visit after your meal, I recommend 'Geonbongsa Temple' and 'Geojin Beach'!

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.
