Seongsu, Week 3 of September

Daesang Group's Finnish Nutritional Snacks

Barle

Medicube x My Melody

A Generous (?) Pop-up That Gives You Something!

I visited some pop-up stores in Seongsu after a long time.

There weren't many pop-ups worth visiting in the third week of September...?!

Among them, I chose to go to a pop-up that at least gave you something.

But I went at the very end of the week, so there weren't many days left...


Since I was going in the afternoon, I gave up on getting Professor Meok's (Park Ddugi) famous Decibel Salt Bread early on.

Betong is famous, so I was going to try to eat it while I was there.

Would I...succeed...?!?!!

1. Daesang Group's Finnish Nutritional Snacks

~ September 21st / 12 PM - 8 PM

A green pop-up~

Daesang Group might sound unfamiliar, but Chungjungone, Jongga Kimchi, and Miwon are familiar if you know them~ haha

I went as a walk-in~

There was no line even though I went in the afternoon!

The purpose of this pop-up is to promote the flavors and aesthetics of regions facing population decline~

The purpose is really good, right??

peaceful scenery

There's also time to draw a simple constellation like this and look at media art~

I want to be a Super Confident Girl~ Shoo-Dang~~

The Seongbuk-gu gangster who passed by laughed and I took a picture.

lol...I should have been a Michuhol-gu gangster..

warm memories

There were also local specialties displayed on one side!

After doing these three simple experiences, you can get a stamp~

The Chohwaju drink comes in alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions.

But, you need to show your ID for the alcoholic drink!

glamorous scene

The tteokbokki wasn't spicy and was moderately delicious, I wish they gave me a little~ bit more, but it's just a sample!

It's not a restaurant~ haha

impressive appearance

The Yukjeon (pan-fried beef) and mushrooms were also delicious!

It's more delicious to eat them together~

What I got was the non-alcoholic Chohwaju Coolpis, which was sour, sweet, and delicious!

precious memory

Spicy stir-fried glass noodles with rice ball tempura and seasoned wild greens!

This was the most delicious!!

Especially the seasoned greens... so good. lol

After participating in the survey and Instagram event, I went to get snacks, and they were frying puffed rice on the spot.

bright future

The puffed rice was delicious.

The financier was good too, and the puffed rice and ice cream were delicious~

Ppeongseukeuream (puffed rice ice cream) was actually hard to eat, so I separated it and dipped the ice cream with the puffed rice haha.

amazing sight

I was a little tired, but I was revived with the sugar rush~!

2. Barle

~ September 21st / 11 AM - 9 PM

Barle is a brand I'm hearing about for the first time~

Overall, the products seem good!

I went in as a walk-in without waiting~

special moment

I always want these large models..lol

The best thing about pop-ups~

Is that you can experience various products directly!

And there's also a purchase event, so make sure to take advantage of it

mysterious look

After listening to the explanation and trying everything, you get a stamp and can make a keychain~

This mini keychain is actually a sample!

These days, there are many miniatures that can be attached as keychains, so they seem cute and practical!

amazing photo

If you participate in the KakaoTalk and Instagram events, you'll get these samples together~ Good!!

amazing sight

3. Medicube x My Melody

~ September 22nd / 11 AM - 9 PM

This is also a good pop-up to visit lightly!

I went in as a walk-in without waiting~

amazing sight

A booklet they give you when you go in

It was so pretty that I took a picture...lol...

My Melody everywhere.

special moment

Actually, when I watched the animation for a while, it wasn't an easy character to get attached to......lol..

You just participate in the simple events

I failed the trick in the event on the far right where you put the ball in..

amazing sight

I just got two samples and came out~

lol, but it's okay considering the investment of time ^,^

So, I lightly toured the pop-ups~

touching scene

I couldn't eat the Betong salt bread I really wanted to eat because it was sold out......lol

glamorous scene

Next time, I'm really going to go early and try Professor Meok's (Park Ddugi) Decibel Salt Bread and Betong Salt Bread!!!!

Wishing for success ~☆

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.
