Summer Vacation with the Onnuri Travel Map

Gangneung Travel Course

Gyeongpo Beach & Jungang Market Night Market

The Small Enterprise and Market Service (SEMAS) publishes an Onnuri Travel Map for July and August summer vacations.

This map introduces traditional markets and shopping streets around beaches nationwide where you can use Onnuri Gift Certificates. Enjoy a thrifty trip with Onnuri Gift Certificates!

I visited Gyeongpo Beach and the Gangneung Jungang Market Night Market as part of my Gangneung travel itinerary.

Centered around beaches all over the country,

the map introduces traditional markets and shopping districts where Onnuri gift certificates can be used.

You can also receive a 10% cashback when using Digital Onnuri Gift Certificates, making it a budget-friendly vacation.

Digital Onnuri 10% Cashback Event

What is the Digital Onnuri 10% Cashback Event?

Earn up to 10% cashback when you spend over 10,000 KRW cumulatively each week using Digital Onnuri, which is paid through the Digital Onnuri app.

Also, you can receive a 10% discount when charging your Digital Onnuri balance and a 10% cashback when using it, resulting in a total of 20% discount benefits.

This event is running until September 30th, so I recommend this 'good consumption' that revitalizes small businesses and traditional markets while lightening your grocery shopping budget.

Here are some of the photos of my trip:

Gangneung Travel Course: Gyeongpo Beach

Gyeongpo Beach is a representative beach in Gangneung.

With its long sandy beach, fine sand, and lush pine forest, it's a great summer resort with plenty to see and enjoy.

During the summer season, the beach is filled with parasols, and lifeguards are on duty, making it a safe and fun place to play.

You can rent beach gear like tubes and life jackets, and shower facilities are available.

After enjoying the beach, the next stop on the Onnuri Travel Map summer vacation is Gangneung Jungang Market.

This is Wolhwa Street, where the night market is held every Friday.

Just walking down the street makes you want to dance!

Gangneung Jungang Market Night Market

The Gangneung Jungang Market Night Market is crowded with people and full of delicious food! The aroma of savory dishes being grilled tickles your nose, and the crispy fried chicken is a must-try.

Large crabs are prepared for easy eating, making them very appetizing.

The Gangneung Jungang Market Night Market was bustling enough to beat the summer heat.

There were so many things to choose from, but I decided to try squid sundae, a local Gangneung specialty.

These days, crispy rice squid sundae seems to be trending.

It's grilled to a golden brown perfection and served with fermented squid, radish slices, and mustard sauce.

The crispy exterior and chewy squid, along with the moist squid sundae filling, was delicious!

A week later, I received a 10% Onnuri cashback gift in the Onnuri app.

I received 3,000 KRW cashback for spending over 33,000 KRW in one week.

I had fun at Gangneung Beach and enjoyed delicious food at the Gangneung Jungang Market Night Market and received 10% cashback on my spending!

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.
