Reviewed from the perspective of someone studying for exams, seeking employment, or just hitting the books.

Aside from being brand new, it had quite a few drawbacks.

Being free is a plus, but...

1. Good accessibility

2. Lots of restaurants nearby

3. No lockers (one of the biggest drawbacks)

4. No dedicated study room with individual desks

5. Encountered some... interesting characters: people acting strangely, mumbling grandmas, etc.

So I wore headphones the whole time....

Floor Layout:

1st Floor: Archive - A bit noisy, closes before dinner time.

3rd Floor: Closes at 8 PM, children's noise, seating is questionable.

4th Floor: Open until 10 PM, most seating available <main

2nd Floor: Museum - I go there when I need to take calls.

-1 (Basement 1): Sometimes has exhibitions, never been.

Library events are most fun on the 3rd and 4th floors.

Seems like the prize for events is a 10,000 won gift certificate.

I haven't won one yet~ Reading quizzes are submitted in writing or online.

The Gukchae-bosang Memorial Library used to be the Central Library.

I heard it used to have a reading room, but after the renovation, the chairs are just so uncomfortable.

The chairs...

Are so...

Uncomfortable...

I've eaten out a lot, but I also went to the Jung-gu Office cafeteria sometimes.

It's super close~

Open to the public from 12:20 PM - 1:20 PM,

Price: 5,000 won

Quite crowded! Young people, civil servants, and seniors all go there.

There's a board showing the weekly menu,

But there's no system to see the next week's menu in advance. Only public workers know (a month in advance) ㅠㅠ

I'll be carrying around tax and accounting books soon,

And my bag is already so heavy.

Also, I'm not happy with the prices of the gyms nearby...

(I use the gym mainly for showers and lockers)

Should I go to Suseong Library?

Thank you, Min, for the review!

Suseong Library is great! Always has plenty of seats, study desks,

Lots of charging outlets, lockers, and an affordable cafeteria. Simply the best.

Gukchae-bosang Library Tip 1

This is just to promote local libraries.

I often borrow and return books on the same day.

Tip 2

There's a computer zone on the 4th floor.

You can reserve it for a maximum of 4 hours a day,

And the chairs are the most comfortable ^^... (Same as the ones on the 1st floor, it seems).

I listened to Ki-dong's lectures here.

The chairs are mesh material that supports your back, like you'd usually find in a study cafe.

But some older guys watch illegally downloaded movies,

So there are ads that pop up sometimes.

The logout/blackout function isn't a full power off,

It just puts up a blocking screen on top,

So if the previous user doesn't check their time,

I have to erase their traces one by one <Beomeo Library is like that too

It gets reset internally after a day, so it's fine.

3.

Lots of cafes around.

If there are no seats, study at a cafe~

+ After dinner time, the number of users drops significantly!

If you go to the library after dinner, there are plenty of seats available.

Around... after 6:30 PM?

I heard the Suseong Library reading room opens at 7 PM?

Jungdo (Gukchae-bosang) opens all floors at 9 AM,

It's always a battle for seats because it's crowded, though.

Yep.

Anyway, I'll write a review if I feel like it after going to Suseong Library!!

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.
