A little late, but I'm back to document my July.

After coming back from Japan, I finally visited a cafe I'd been wanting to go to.

I ordered a nutty latte, a peanut-flavored drink, and thought it was a bit pricey...but it turned out to be a huge serving!

Still, the cafe had a great atmosphere.

Then, after coffee, I went to my second cafe of the day:

Since I'd already had coffee, I ordered a basil tomatoade. It was so refreshing!

It's the kind of flavor you crave sometimes.

I also had a reunion with my former TA colleagues. It feels like we just saw each other a week ago!

Such a comfortable group.

On July 12th, I went to see the Ulsan vs. Daegu soccer game.

The romantic atmosphere of Daegu games is always enjoyable.

I couldn't resist buying the McDonald's Chunsik Edition.

I just watched the Seol Young-woo and Eom Won-sang autograph session from afar.

It feels like just yesterday that I got Eom Won-sang's autograph... time flies.

Ah, yes, Ulsan has had a lot of issues lately.

I always have to have Ulsan beer when watching soccer, so it's always a boozy soccer experience.

Daegu had a Sanrio My Melody theme going on.

The violently cute My Melody was so adorable! I was in the N section.

Daegu, please stay in the K League 1... I've been wishing for Daegu's survival for two years now.

Isn't the purple uniform pretty?

My wallet is already empty, and I think it's about to go into the negatives...

My favorite player appeared!

In the end, it was a 2-2 draw.

Both teams were thinking, 'How did this end in a draw?'

Ulsan was feeling negative, Daegu positive.

Craving Western food for the first time in a while, I went to Ob Ju Bang.

At the time, they had a steak discount, so I enjoyed it to the fullest.

I was so full!

Afterward, we went to the arcade, and the monitors these days are crazy good. It was so fun!

Next time I go, I want to try the motorcycle game.

It's been a while, but I went on a cafe and restaurant tour with my friend Jikong.

I remember the coffee being better than expected, and the desserts were decent.

More than anything, the atmosphere was peaceful and nice.

It was a place I'd like to visit again.

This place was featured on RBC's feed, and it was so delicious that I want to bring a bigger group next time.

To be honest, this was not tasty, it tasted like pepper.

But I like dumpling soup so I ate it anyway.

Their braised chicken stew with vegetables is seriously amazing. It comes with tripe, which is also delicious!

There was too much food for just two people.

Ah... that taste is on my mind.

My friend tried so hard to win me a doll with the claw machine.

But in the end, we just paid for it.

How can the Ministry of Environment use a personal phone number?

Please, let's make this complicated world a little easier to live in...

Hello everyone~

It's a really strange combination of people,

But it's a group that always makes me laugh, so we went out for ramen again.

It's refreshing to be with people whose work doesn't overlap at all. Soyoung is the funniest.

We planned to go for a drive to Gyeongju on a rainy day, but it was raining too much, so we decided to go indoors instead.

We went to IKEA.

It was my first time eating at IKEA.

It was surprisingly good!

To be honest, it tastes like school cafeteria food,

But it was fun, so I'll eat there again.

The IKEA plushies are so high quality and cute!

So cute.

I can't resist the 700 won ice cream, okay?

And it's actually good!

Then, we went to Music Complex Seoul Busan, which is right in front of IKEA. It was so much fun!

It was my first time using an LP bar.

The owner was kind and explained everything well from the start.

There were so many LPs to choose from, so it was fun to listen to different kinds of music.

Ah, yes, just a commemorative photo.

I can't just pass by Cowboy Bebop jazz.

Just scribbling again.

It was a very memorable place.

Then, I met up with the Josonoi group and went to Uncle Old Town.

Ah, Soyoung is so pretty!

Girl talk always lasts at least 3 hours.

The youngest bought ice cream!

See you all right after school starts!

Ah, it was a weekday, but I went to Emart Traders Yangsan with my brother and mom.

After grocery shopping, we went to Paul Bassett nearby and I got a matcha drink and some kind of refreshing ade.

It was delicious!

The view at Paul Bassett Yangsan is so great that I want to come back on a quiet weekday.

And this is my weekday fashion.

My brother was like, 'Are you really going to wear that?'

This is from next time, but the director and I are still good friends even after I resigned, so we see each other often.

The director is the best!

The majestic combination of Ulsan and Daejeon + a weekday game, I couldn't resist and went to the stadium.

Joo-young gave me churros as a gift because she hadn't seen me in a while. An angel!

Marko's physique is crazy, and I remember Jung Jae-hee working hard and playing well since his Pohang days...

<Tongdosa Temple>

Ah, I went to a handmade sujebi (noodle soup) place by the river. No matter how hot it is, I still crave sujebi sometimes.

And after a cup of coffee at Layback Coffee, I moved on to my next destination.

Actually, I won tickets to Immortal Songs and came to see it.

(My brother applied for them haha)

Ah, thank you so much!

It was so hot, so I was looking at cooling products at Daiso when I saw turtles by the river, so I was busy taking pictures.

The weather is amazing~

They even gave us ice-cold water.

It was so hot that I bought a cooling patch and a cool material neck...

I endured until the evening.

And watched until the very end.

The lineup included FT Island, Seo Moon-tak, Cherry Filter, Jannabi, Touched, Kim Chang-wan Band, and Jeon In-kwon Band.

It was such a star-studded lineup that I couldn't help but get excited.

I basically saw the concert of my life.

It's my first time having a scaling date with a friend.

Sumin was so cute that I had to take a picture.

Doraemon hands, you're so cute Sumin!

Then, we went to Cafe Wiggle in Buk-gu, and I went again because the interior is totally my style.

They gave us a gift because it was my first time at the dentist, and we were both very satisfied.

And I even saw a squirrel on the way to Park Sangjin Lake Park nearby!

Nature is good...

This place is always so peaceful.

We finished in a pretty emotional way.

And for dinner, we went to the trendy Potato Lab in Songjeong, which is famous for its gnocchi.

It might be better without the spice in the gnocchi, but anyway, Potato Lab finished up my perfect July!

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.
