A Review of My Own Money's Worth

Otto Kimbap Huam Main Branch

Today is August 15th, Liberation Day ~

It was a day to commemorate our independence, and it felt deeply moving.

Also,

It's a precious day with a long weekend!

On a day like this ~

I woke up early as usual

And started my day.

After having breakfast with my parents

And doing some housework,

As lunchtime approached,

I headed out to enjoy some personal time.

The moment I left the house!

It started to rain.

I took down the Korean flag I had hung on the gate and put it back in the storage box,

And then I went out.

However, since the entire Gwanghwamun area was closed off,

Joy, who lives in Bukchon, thought

That getting out of the house wouldn't be easy today either,

So I decided to try driving first.

Regretting the weakness of my Meduse sandals, I put on my Melissa sandals and left the house.

Maybe I'll leave a review of the Melissa sandals later when I have time.

The place I'm going to today is ~

Vesess Bakery, the latest hot spot in Huam-dong!

The moment I arrived at my destination!

Oh, they're closing the shutters.

Why, why ~!

Despite the business hours being from

Early morning 08:00 - 15:00!

The store is closing its shutters before 12:00!

The reason is that

Many people visited this place to celebrate the holiday!

They ran out of ingredients early ~

Sandwiches, focaccia, sourdough,

Coffee & Beer

A place that has everything I like!

The owner apologized and said that

They will be open without holidays this month,

Asking me to visit again.

However, the air conditioner installer is scheduled to revisit early Saturday morning,

So I couldn't guarantee that I could come again.

It's drizzling ~

Since I've come this far,

It's a bit of a shame to just go back,

So I decided to move on to another place.

The next place I decided to go to is

Huam-dong Sandwich Restaurant

It's about a 12-minute walk from Vesess Bakery,

So,

After parking the car appropriately,

I decided to walk.

Walking up the road to Huam Market ~

환상적인 장면

Wow~ I'm curiously looking around, thinking,

Can you believe there's a place like this in downtown Seoul?

This place with a view of Namsan Tower

Huam Market!

If you go up towards Namsan Sowol Road from Huam Market,

You can find this place!

Oh! An familiar sign that can be seen from afar!

Is this ?

Isn't this Otto Kimbap, a kimbap restaurant I often use near Seoul National University of Education Station?

Otto Kimbap Huam Main Branch based on Hanok!

The entrance stairs leading up to the store are impressive.

A Korean chime bell hung on a wooden gate!

I think it would be a gorgeous place for foreign tourists traveling to Korea.

A space where Korean and exotic feelings are mixed and matched!

However, you have to use

A different place than this entrance.

The entrance is located on the side entering the alley.

I remember this place being a bar in the past,

Or am I wrong?

I'm only now realizing that there was a Hanok here.

When you come inside, it feels like this!

Modern and clean interior!

Otto Kimbap Huam Main Branch with a different atmosphere from Otto Kimbap Seoul National University of Education Station

The moment I came inside

Wow~ what is this atmosphere!

It's like Korean but not ~

When viewed from the outside,

It feels like Santorini in Korea.

Are these foreign influencers?

They were enjoying kimbap while watching Pocket 3, which I've been interested in recently.

A place where the mother-of-pearl cabinet interior on the wall stands out!

It seems like there's a bathroom inside,

But I didn't go there separately.

There are no separate people to guide you in the store,

So you can use the space on your own.

Cup noodles prepared on a wooden table!

They are placed there so that they can be eaten with kimbap.

Since you can see Namsan Tower and

There's even kimbap and cup noodles,

It's perfect for foreign tourists who like K-culture!

Suddenly, the Lion Voice comes to mind.

Since the menu is also attached to the wall,

It would be good to refer to it before ordering.

A plaque for the master chef of "Life's Master" on the table!

Master of Wasabi Kimbap

Otto Kimbap Huam Main Branch

The space where delicious kimbap is made

Is covered with a screen,

So I couldn't see the inside.

I could only hear the voices of the staff hehehe

Water is self-service!

Now ~ let's take a look at Otto Kimbap Huam Main Branch's menu!

Orders are placed using

A kiosk located in the store,

After pre-ordering and pre-paying,

You can eat in the store or order to take out.

If you eat in the store,

There are not many seats,

So please note that there may be a slight wait.

Most customers were taking out.

The menu consists of

Kimbap / Cup Noodles / Drinks

환상적인 장면

Otto Kimbap Huam Main Branch, a Kimbap restaurant where you can eat deliciously while looking at the alley view of Huam-dong!

A master chef's kimbap enjoyed in a Korean yet exotic interior!

Wasabi kimbap on a tray

Miso soup

Soy sauce

A Kimbap restaurant with plating that foreigners will also like!

As expected ~ worthy of being a master of wasabi

The visuals are good!

Wasabi Otto Kimbap rolled up tightly!

Otto Kimbap made with healthy and fresh ingredients,

Which is known as a kimbap restaurant recommended by Lee Young-ja!

I dipped the kimbap lightly in soy sauce

And eat it.

The moment I put it in my mouth

The pungent taste of wasabi

It feels addictive,,

Otto Kimbap with a slightly different feeling from what I tasted at Seoul National University of Education Station!

Kimbap eaten in this atmosphere is truly the best ~!

I'll have to have a simple meal here when I visit Huam-dong in the future.

And Jaki Love, an LP cafe in Huam-dong, was worth the wait!

희망찬 내일

The lemon scent was so good and

It was delicious

The granita I ordered!

A place where you can fully appreciate the music!

I'll have to visit next time with a little more time.

Wow~ the song selection is no joke.

The best, the best,

It's been so long since Lee Gwang-jo.

Careful consideration

I felt the warmth of kindness

Jaki Love ~

I highly recommend it as a very, very satisfying space.

A detailed posting

Coming soon ~!

On the way back

I went to Shinsegae Department Store Main Store

I bought this and that

To celebrate Liberation Day

I once again feel the emotion of today through the large screen.

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.
