Hello, I'm Twit!

I was looking for a bar or cocktail bar in Seogyo-dong and stumbled upon a fantastic place called 'Bitter's,' so I'm here with a review!

Fantastic Scene

Address: Seoul, Mapo-gu, Hongik-ro 3-30, Basement Level 1

You can get off at either Hongdae or Sangsu station and walk from there! It was easy to find because it's close to the main Hongdae street. Once you arrive at the building, take the elevator down to the first basement level. When you get off the elevator, you'll see an entrance decorated like books. So aesthetic, right? When I entered, I was greeted by a spacious and very clean cocktail bar. There were plenty of bar seats and tables, and it was quite crowded! We sat at the bar. I can't believe I'm only just discovering this Seogyo-dong spot now.

The basic appetizer is pretzels! The bartender was great at refilling them whenever we were running low, which was appreciated. The salty and crunchy flavor went really well with the cocktails.

25 Ban and Long Island Iced Tea

Long Island Iced Tea

It's such a famous classic cocktail, so I was curious to see what Bitter's take on the Long Island Iced Tea would be like. The reason I like it is because it has a clean taste and a high alcohol content, making it fun to drink. I was able to watch the cocktail being made right in front of me, and the bartender was such a pro that it was the best Long Island Iced Tea I've ever had! The price is ₩17,000.

25 Ban

I heard it's a cocktail with a 151 rum base that blends the sweet and sour flavors of apricot and cherry well! It's also a Bitter's signature cocktail, and the alcohol content is high at 25 degrees, so I wanted to try it. The price is ₩20,000. My companion was most satisfied with this cocktail. Even though it's 25 degrees, it doesn't taste bitter but rather has a smooth feel as it goes down, making it easy to sip.


I felt it was too bad to go home, so I decided to order another cocktail.

Fox's Grape

It's a unique cocktail with a white rum base that's decorated creamly to give it a sweet taste!

It tastes like grape ice cream and has a clean base liquor taste, so I felt that women would really like this cocktail! It's a flavor that even people who aren't good at drinking cocktails can enjoy.

Touching Scene

In addition to cocktails, there are also various liquors such as whiskey, so it's a good idea to refer to this menu.

Impressive Scene

You can watch the bartenders make drinks, and if you go to the table seats, you can quietly talk while drinking, so it's a place where you'll be satisfied no matter what kind of atmosphere you want. I'll end my review of Bitter's, a bar in Hongdae Seogyo-dong!

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.
