Hello!

It feels like just yesterday he was born, but our little Toseul has already passed his 150th day! I'm his dad.

Lately, our son Toseul has been showing a lot more curiosity about the world.

I could see he was getting restless just staying at home, so I wanted to take him somewhere new and show him some different scenery this weekend.

I was looking for a place that was close to home, had a great view, and ideally, was also comfortable for us parents.

After searching for a place that met all these picky conditions, we discovered 'Lounge of Light' at the Walkerhill and decided to go!

In short, our visit with the baby was a huge success!

The Lounge of Light, with its stunning Han River view and pleasant atmosphere, is located in the lobby of the Grand Walkerhill Seoul hotel.

As soon as we walked in, the unobstructed view of the Han River and Achasan Mountain through the large windows was truly like a 'painting'.

My wife and I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow..."

The fact that it's a 'hotel' was a major advantage for us with a baby.

They have excellent facilities like a baby lounge and diaper changing stations, so we didn't have to worry about anything before going out. That was really comforting.

We ordered the Golden Ade and Mango Fruit Ade.

To be honest, the taste was exactly what you would imagine from the names.

It wasn't anything particularly special, but it was refreshing and sweet enough to lift our spirits.

The prices are a bit high, as you'd expect from a hotel cafe.

But when I thought of it as paying for the 'atmosphere' to enjoy this wonderful view and relaxing ambiance, I didn't feel like the money was wasted at all.

Sometimes, this kind of splurge is what keeps us going with childcare! 😉

How did Toseul, the star of the day, react?

Throughout our time there, our son Toseul sat in his stroller and couldn't take his eyes off the view outside the window.

What was he thinking as he watched the shimmering sunlight on the Han River and the cars going back and forth on Gangbyeonbuk-ro?

Seeing him taking in the world with his little eyes, I thought, "It was definitely worth coming here."

He was so focused that he quickly got tired and started yawning, so we didn't stay long and left.

Everything is a new stimulus and experience for babies.

Although the price may be a bit of a burden, I think it's a great choice for parents who want to show their baby a new view or who want to enjoy a moment of relaxation in a pleasant and comfortable environment.

Our first lounge date with 150-day-old Toseul was a real success!

When Toseul is a little older, I'd like to come back and see the beautiful sunset in the evening.

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.
