Hello everyone. What's your favorite Korean food? I'm a huge meat lover. Today, I went to a new Korean barbecue restaurant in Hongdae with a friend! It was so delicious, I wanted to leave a review. , 1️⃣ Korean Food - Meat , I recently visited "Hwarang Meat" in Hongdae. It's a brand-new meat restaurant that opened recently, and it turns out there's a branch in Konkuk University, too. It was the perfect choice for my friend and I, who both love meat, and ultimately, we were satisfied with the taste, atmosphere, and price. , 2️⃣ Hongdae BBQ restaurant , The most unique feature of this place is its self-service bar. You can scoop out as much meat as you want and keep eating with unlimited refills. Each table has its own grill, making grilling convenient and clean. And what's unique is that it doesn't just serve meat; there's also a ramen and bibimbap corner! The ramen was spicy and delicious. , And the owner was so friendly. Even though it was my first time, he greeted me brightly and explained the menu to me. He was also very attentive to my needs, which made my meal enjoyable. The interior was warm and inviting with yellow lighting. It wasn't too loud, so we were able to chat while eating. After a delicious meal, I was able to go for a walk in Hongdae right away, which was nice. , The location is right here, 2nd floor, 40 Wawoosan-ro 23-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul. I recommend it to anyone visiting Hongdae. I want to go back again next time, too. Have a nice day today~

Hello everyone~ The Seoul International Fireworks Festival, a true symbol of Seoul's autumn, is back again this year! It's scheduled to be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025. Let's take a look together! , 1️⃣ Introducing the 2025 Seoul International Fireworks Festival , The Seoul International Fireworks Festival, jointly organized by Hanwha Group and the Seoul Metropolitan Government, is a dazzling multimedia fireworks show featuring world-class fireworks production teams, complete with music and laser effects. The main fireworks show begins at 7 p.m. The dazzling fireworks, music, and lasers... I'm really looking forward to it. Below are some photos I took when I went last year. , 2️⃣ Experience the 2024 Seoul International Fireworks Festival , When I attended last year's event, I realized that securing a spot early was key. With so many people, I realized you really had to get there at least a few hours in advance to get your desired spot. I remember arriving early with a friend and waiting for a long time to secure our spot. Thanks to that effort, we were able to see the fireworks up close. , 3️⃣ Where to watch the Seoul International Fireworks Festival , So where should you go to see it? Yeouido Hangang Park is the most central location, but you can also enjoy it leisurely at Ichon Park, Nodeul Island, the southern end of Wonhyo Bridge, and Banpo. If you're looking for a quiet spot, these are also good options. I saw it near Nodeul Island last year. It was less crowded than Yeouido and not as crowded, which was nice. And don't forget to bring a mat, warm outerwear, and blankets! , Everyone, don't miss this year's Seoul International Fireworks Festival! I'm already looking forward to it. Have a nice day~!

hello everyone! The thing I do the most during the 5 years I've lived in Korea is taking pictures. When I travel to Korea or want to spend a special day with friends, one thing I can't miss is the self-photo booth. Today, I'm going to introduce you to 3 self-photo booths that I often go to: Photoism, Haru Film, and Mono Mansion. , 1️⃣ Korean Selfie - Photoism , First, I'd like to introduce Photoism. If you're looking for a vibrant and colorful atmosphere, Photoism is the place to go. They have a wide selection of props, and the backgrounds are cute and brightly colored, making it a great place to visit with friends. With a variety of props like animal ear headbands, stuffed toys, and hats, you can take a ton of different photos! My friends and I went to Photoism near Korea University, and they even had a tiger doll, the university's symbol! Haha. , 2️⃣ Korean Selfie - Mono Mansion , Next up is Momo Mansion. If you like a clean, modern, black-and-white vibe, I recommend Mono Mansion. The emotional neutral tones and minimal props emphasize natural expressions and moods. I always go to Momo Mansion whenever I want to take atmospheric photos. These kinds of atmospheric photos are incredibly popular these days. , 3️⃣ Korean Selfie - Haru Film , Lastly, there's Harufilm. Harufilm is the brightest selfie booth of the three. Plus, the background theme changes seasonally, and cute decorative stickers are automatically applied to your photos, making it easy to decorate. My friends and I took some photos, and then decorated them for quite a while. It was quite fun. Prices usually range from 4,000 to 5,000 won. It's affordable, so you can take photos without any worries! , Photoism, Harufilm, and Monomansion seem to be cultural experiences that allow young Koreans to share their emotions, record moments, and express themselves in a fun way. They're great for creating memories with friends or capturing emotional moments on your own. Do you enjoy taking photos? have a good day!

Hello everyone~ Do you know what day this Friday is? It's Liberation Day! Today, let's learn about Liberation Day together! , 1️⃣ Korean Liberation Day , Liberation Day, celebrated annually on August 15th, commemorates the liberation of both South Korea and North Korea from Japanese colonial rule (1910–1945). This national holiday commemorates the significant historical moment of liberation from Japanese colonial rule and the restoration of sovereignty. In South Korea, Liberation Day is deeply meaningful, as it is associated with the establishment of the Provisional Government and commemorates the dedication of independence activists. , 2️⃣ Introduction to Korean Liberation Day , Last week, I visited Nodeul Island in Seoul, where it was transformed into a meaningful space to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation. A large Taegeukgi display, swept through the river breeze, was a spectacular sight, and the space offered a glimpse into the history of the Taegeukgi from past to present. A representative display included 16 Taegeukgis, displayed chronologically, ranging from the "Denny Taegeukgi" from the late Joseon Dynasty in the 1880s to those from the Korean Liberation Army and the Provisional Government. , 3️⃣ Korean Liberation Day Event , The Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs will hold a commemorative event on the lawn of the National Assembly Building on August 14th, commemorating the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation, from 8:15 PM for approximately two hours and 30 minutes. This event goes beyond a simple national anniversary and is a citizen-participatory project designed to transform various areas of downtown Seoul into "spaces where people can experience history and culture." Many famous singers will also perform. , Liberation Day was a moment that expanded beyond a simple commemoration to a space where you could see and experience history firsthand on Nodeul Island . If you have the chance, I recommend visiting Nodeul Island and experiencing Korean history. I went there and was deeply impressed. Have a nice day~!

Hello everyone~ I went on a really cute craft experience in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. This was a class where we made our own puppy dolls using only yarn! If you enjoy this kind of experience, check it out! , 1️⃣ Cute doll making experience 1 , In this class, you'll choose one of 15 popular dog breeds and create your own miniature puppy head doll using yarn. I chose a Pomeranian, and its soft, adorable texture feels just like a real puppy. This is an easy program for everyone, from children to adults! The instructor was very helpful and guided step-by-step, making it easy for even beginners to follow along. , 2️⃣ Cute doll making experience 2 , And the entire process was explained step-by-step and demonstrated. Winding and trimming the yarn required a certain amount of concentration, but seeing the finished doll was incredibly rewarding. There were 15 dog breeds to choose from, including the Bichon Frise, Maltese, Poodle, Yorkshire Terrier, and Welsh Corgi! If you love dogs, I highly recommend making one! , 3️⃣ Cute doll making experience 3 , The experience fee includes making one doll, using all the necessary yarn, materials, and tools. You don't need to bring anything of your own. It's vacation time, so aren't you bored at home? If you're looking for something indoors because it's too hot outside, or if you're looking for a unique hobby and a cute souvenir from Seoul, I highly recommend the doll-making experience! , It was a very satisfying experience for me. Do you guys like making dolls? Have a nice day~

Hello everyone~ A while ago, I had a pottery experience at Studio Zino in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul. It was a really fun and rewarding experience. Let's take a look together! , 1️⃣ Ceramics Experience Contents , This experience is divided into two main parts. The first involves making a ceramic flute, and the second involves making a ceramic cup. I made a flute, and it was a truly fun and sensory experience. I got to work with the clay, shaping it piece by piece, and it was incredibly immersive. , 2️⃣ Pottery experience , What I loved most was that tea, snacks, and short performances were interspersed throughout the experience. While the performances weren't anything grand, Gino's unique sound performances were heartwarming and healing. A diverse group of people participated—children, parents, friends, and couples—and everyone quietly and happily made pottery! , 3️⃣ Pottery Experience Price , The price is 30,000 won per person. It includes everything from materials to hands-on experience, tea time, and even a performance, so I thought it was a great value. Operating hours are 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. You can also try your hand at the potter's wheel, and the finished product will be fired in a kiln and delivered a few days later! , The finished ceramics are delivered to you by courier after a while, making them a valuable souvenir for display or collection. If you're looking for a unique and emotional experience in Seoul, this is a place I highly recommend! have a good day!

Hello everyone! A while ago, I visited Jeonju Hanok Village and tried out renting a hanbok! If you're planning a visit to Jeonju Hanok Village, I highly recommend wearing a hanbok, which is why I wrote this post today.

There are plenty of photo spots nearby, making it perfect for snapping photos in hanbok. Plus, the store offers secure lockers for storing your clothing, allowing you to explore the village with ease! , 2️⃣ Jeonju Hanok Village Hanbok Rental Prices , The prices were reasonable.

Hello everyone! I recently visited the "Mongmo's Strange Zoo Pop-up Store" held at "The Forum by Jaime Hayon" on the 9th floor of The Hyundai in Daegu! 🧸 It was a truly charming and fascinating space. Let's take a look together! , 1️⃣ Mongmo's Strange Zoo Pop-up Store 1 , Last weekend, I visited the "Mongmo's Strange Zoo" pop-up store on the 9th floor of The Hyundai Daegu! Upon entering, the first thing that caught my eye was a 2.7-meter-tall Mongmo sculpture! Its long ears and plump body felt incredibly lifelike. There was a mini-exhibition of Mongmo memes, a puppet performance, and plenty of photo zones with dolls and merchandise neatly displayed from the entrance to the end! My friend and I took lots of cute pictures. , 2️⃣ Introducing Mongmo's Strange Zoo Pop-up Store , The Mongmo's Strange Zoo pop-up store I recently visited is currently being held on the 9th floor of The Hyundai in Daegu.

The way the best ones were hung up like frames for people to enjoy was unique and cute. This pop-up store was a special space with everything from cute merchandise shopping to a photo zone. My friends and I even took a free "Life Net Cut" photo together! , If you ever find yourself in Daegu, be sure to stop by Mongmo's Strange Zoo pop-up store! Have a nice day~

hello everyone! A few days ago, I took a short trip to Daegu to visit a friend. It's been a while since I took a train. I took the ITX-Maeum on the way there and the KTX on the way back. I've also taken the ITX-Saemaeul on occasion in the past. Today, I'll share my experiences riding all three trains. , 1️⃣ Korea ITX-Maeum , The ITX-Maeum, my first train, opened in 2023. It felt like a brand new train overall. From the outside, the design was different. The red and gray color scheme made me immediately say, "Wow, this is different!" The interior was more comfortable than I expected, and the seats were spacious! Best of all, there were power outlets at every seat, so I didn't have to worry about charging my laptop or phone. , 2️⃣ Korea KTX , On my way back to Seoul, I took the KTX. If you want to save time, nothing beats the KTX! You can get from Seoul to Daegu in about an hour and 50 minutes, making it incredibly convenient when you're on a tight schedule. The KTX is definitely faster and more streamlined. The seats felt a bit tighter than the ITX-Ma-eum. I like the ITX-Ma-eum, but I preferred the KTX. The yellow lighting, in particular, felt warm and comfortable. , 3️⃣ Korea ITX-Saemaeul , I remember using the ITX-Saemaeul train a long time ago. These days, with the proliferation of the Maeum and KTX, it's somewhat forgotten, but it's still a decent mid- to low-cost train. While the overall travel time is a bit long, the calm atmosphere inside the trains makes it a great place to study or relax, and the price is reasonable. , In my opinion, if you want to travel quickly, the KTX is better. If you're looking for a more sensible experience and consider price, the ITX-Maeum is a good choice. If you want a more leisurely trip with the best value, the ITX-Saemaeul is a good choice. Have you ever taken a train in Korea? Have a nice day~

hello everyone! In hot weather like these days, there are many times when you wonder where to spend your time. Cafes are good, and shopping malls are good, but I visited a Korean 'Jjimjilbang' while looking for a special activity. Let's take a look together~ , 1️⃣ Korean Jjimjilbang , In fact, in Korea, jjimjilbangs are more than just sauna spaces; they are established as 'cultural spaces' where you can stay all day. My friend and I also wanted to experience this traditional culture, so we visited. Inside the jjimjilbang, there are jjimjilbangs with various temperatures, such as a hot yellow clay room, a warm kiln, and a cool ice room. My friend and I couldn't go into the 95-degree jjimjilbang because it was too hot, so we mostly played in the 65-degree room. , 2️⃣ Korean Jjimjilbang Food , One of the unmissable pleasures of a jjimjilbang is the delicious snacks! After sweating a lot, I got hungry. The menu I ordered was kimbap, ramen, and the must-haves at a jjimjilbang, grilled eggs and shikhye! The spicy ramen broth was so good, filling my empty stomach after sweating! And the most representative snack that comes to mind when thinking of a Korean jjimjilbang is this 'grilled egg', and it was so much tastier than I thought! , 3️⃣ Introduction to Korean Jjimjilbang , I also took a certification shot with my friend in front of the jjimjilbang mirror! It was so funny and new because we were all wearing the same jjimjilbang clothes. I talked with my friend, read books, and even slept. I had fun escaping the summer heat and having fun at the jjimjilbang ~ At the end, I took a bath and went home. , The Korean jjimjilbang culture has become established as a kind of 'rest' culture. It's great to be able to relax, sweat, and enjoy delicious snacks in a cool space on a hot summer day~ Have you ever been to a jjimjilbang? Have a nice day~

If you are interested, please try it~ have a good day!

Hello everyone~ The thing that worried me the most while preparing for my trip to Seoul was choosing a place to stay. A while ago, my friend came to Korea to visit and I recommended a place to stay! My friend liked it so much that I’m going to introduce it to him this time~ , 1️⃣ Cost-effective accommodation in Dongdaemun, Seoul - Location , The hotel is located in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul. Dapsimni Station is an 8-9 minute walk away, making it convenient to take the subway. I was really satisfied because it was just a 5-10 minute drive to popular restaurants like Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Dongdaemun Fashion Town, and Gwangjang Market. I was planning to go shopping with a friend and go to a nearby cafe, but it was a real bargain to find this kind of facility at this price in this area. , 2️⃣ Cost-effective accommodation in Dongdaemun, Seoul , Boutique Hotel K is a 3-star hotel, but the rooms are quite spacious and have a sophisticated atmosphere. The room my friend and I stayed in had a pillow-top mattress, a fluffy down comforter, and what really impressed me was that there was a computer and a 53-inch HDTV in the room! It was perfect for watching performance videos on YouTube and Netflix with my friend at night. The bathroom was also quite luxurious~ , 3️⃣ Introducing cost-effective accommodations in Dongdaemun, Seoul , The hotel lobby is staffed 24 hours a day by multilingual front desk staff, so they were kind even when I checked in late. And the check-in/check-out process was not complicated, which was nice. There is also a space where you can get a massage on a tiring day! There was also coffee and tea in the morning, and although it was a small service, I was very satisfied! , I only stayed for one night, but this hotel left me feeling more than satisfied. If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay in Seoul at a reasonable price, consider Boutique Hotel K Dongdaemun ~ Have a nice day😊

Hello everyone! This summer, I had a truly unforgettable day! I went to the Boryeong Mud Festival, one of Korea's representative summer festivals. This time, I went on a shuttle bus package from Seoul. I went there myself and was very satisfied with the price! , 1️⃣ Departing from Seoul~ , The package I used was a summer special that included a round-trip shuttle bus + optional admission tickets . It was really convenient because it departed from major locations in Seoul such as Hongik University Station, Myeongdong, and Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station. I departed from Hongik University Station around 7 am. I stopped by a rest area along the way and arrived at Daecheon Beach Festival Site around 11 am~ In fact, I'm always tired from long-distance travel, but it was great to be able to arrive comfortably like this! , 2️⃣ Boryeong Mud Festival , The Boryeong Mud Festival had a lot to offer, including mud slides, obstacle courses, mud wrestling zones, and mud massage zones. On stage, there were EDM performances, live concerts, and even fireworks in the evening. I was cautious at first, but at some point, I had so much fun playing with my friends~ , 3️⃣ Introduction to Boryeong Mud Festival , There was also a dining and resting area on one side of the festival grounds, so I was able to recharge my energy in between. And there were a variety of food booths! Also, the package I booked had staff on site who could speak English and Chinese, so it was really convenient. The festival lasted until late in the afternoon, but I took a bus to Seoul around 18:30~ , The package I booked was much cheaper than just booking the shuttle bus, which included the admission ticket. I am very satisfied with the cost-effectiveness. I think the Boryeong Mud Festival would be great whether you go alone or with friends! Have a nice day~

hello! A few days ago, I went on a short day trip to Paju, Gyeonggi-do, near Seoul. I was worried about the rain, but I think I was able to enjoy the atmosphere thanks to the cloudy weather. It was the Paju Imjingak Peace Gondola experience! , 1️⃣ Imjingak Peace Gondola , Paju is a city located about an hour away from Seoul. It is one of the cities closest to North Korea. The Imjingak Peace Gondola that I visited this time is famous as the only gondola that allows you to see beyond the civilian access control line. When you ride the gondola, you can see the DMZ from the sky! As the cable car moves, it passes barbed wire and a river, and that moment was truly unforgettable. , 2️⃣ Landmine Warning Photo Zone , When I arrived at the boarding point, I walked a little and there was a park. There was a point where the triangular warning sign that said “MINE” stood out. The barbed wire, the ground guide line, and the atmosphere of the surrounding area were impressive. I took pictures with a careful and reverent mind, and many people were taking certification shots with this as the background. , 3️⃣ Souvenir shop , There was also a corner for North Korean souvenirs and stamps. The commemorative stamps and banknotes featuring North Korean sports, people, and architecture were colorful and unique, so I took a look. They also sold rainbow-colored handkerchiefs, key rings, and bags, which were very interesting. , During the gondola ride, it rained and the scenery outside looked hazy, but thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the scenery with a more mysterious and calm feeling. At first, I was a little disappointed with the trip to Paju on a rainy day, but in the end, it was a more profound experience~ Next time, when the weather is good, I want to go to Paju again! have a good day!

hello everyone! A few days ago, I went on a short trip to the outskirts of Seoul. The place I arrived was Paju, Gyeonggi-do! It’s about an hour away from Seoul by car, so it’s a perfect city for a quick getaway. I originally planned on going outdoors, but it suddenly started raining so much that I had no choice but to look for indoor activities. That’s when I stumbled upon Museum He.R! , 1️⃣ Museum Hair , The address of Museum Hair is 885-43 Pyeonghwa-ro, Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do. The admission fee is 25,000 won. Museum Hair is not just an exhibition space, but an immersive art museum that combines media art and sensory installations. It consists of three themes, and the atmosphere and presentation in each space are completely different, so it feels like watching three movies in a row rather than one exhibition~ , 2️⃣ Introducing Museum Hair , The exhibit that impressed me the most was the space exhibit. The 360-degree projection that covered the entire floor and walls with stars pouring down in the dark space and an astronaut floating was overwhelming. The entire space was made of mirrors, so it gave the illusion that I was floating in the middle of space. The photos came out really pretty, too! , 3️⃣ Museum Hair Introduction 2 , And in the third section, there was a cute space that children would also like. Large-scale images were displayed in three dimensions on the entire wall and floor, creating the illusion that various animals such as penguins, fish, and polar bears were actually in front of me. In particular, the scene where a penguin ran toward me or a whale swam in front of me in the sea was a moment when digital technology connected with emotions. , If you are wondering where to go near Seoul, and especially on a rainy day when you want to stay in a quiet and emotional space, Museum Hair seems like a good choice~ have a good day!

hello everyone. Today, I will introduce you to the scuba diving experience that I had during my trip to Jeju Island. The location is the sea near Seongsan Ilchulbong, which is also famous as a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Let's take a look together~ , 1️⃣ The sea in front of Seongsan Sunrise Peak , Jeju Island has many beautiful beaches, but the sea in front of Seongsan Ilchulbong was special. Thanks to the clear blue water, the view was really wide open, and I could see various marine life living and breathing right before my eyes. When I went in, I saw sea bass, puffer fish, and even octopuses swimming right before my eyes! It was an incredibly amazing experience! , 2️⃣ Scuba diving experience , I was worried because I didn't have a scuba diving license, but there was an experience diving program that I could participate in without a license, so I signed up right away! I received basic training before starting the dive, and slowly went into the shallow waters with a friendly instructor. The whole dive took about 1 hour and 30 minutes. I was nervous because it was my first time, but the instructor explained everything from putting on the equipment to getting into the water, and the instructor stayed by my side to take care of me, so I felt really reassured~ , 3️⃣ Scuba diving experience - do you have a license? , My friend who had a license chose the fun scuba diving , and went diving at two points about 1km apart by boat. The total 5-hour schedule included lunch, and he said he was very satisfied with the opportunity to dive deeper and in more diverse terrain. , I enjoyed it without any worries because the instructor was always by my side. The photos came out so pretty and it was really fun! If you come to Jeju this summer, I think you should definitely try it! This kind of experience for ₩69,000 ? I totally recommend itㅎㅎ Have a nice day~

hello! Today, I’m going to share my review of the Line Hotel Myeongdong, where I stayed with a friend who recently visited Korea. Myeongdong is an area where everything is densely packed with shopping, sightseeing, and food, so choosing a good place to stay is really important. I think I found a good hotel, so I’m going to share it with you! , 1️⃣ Line Hotel Myeongdong Location , Line Hotel Myeongdong is located in the heart of Seoul. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to Deoksugung Palace and Namsan Park! It is also 1.8 km to Gwanghwamun and 2.4 km to Gyeongbokgung Palace, so it is very convenient. It is also close to Myeongdong Station, so it is very convenient to use the subway. This time, my friend visited Korea for the first time from abroad, and it was perfect for quickly traveling to major tourist attractions! , 2️⃣ Line Hotel Myeongdong Advantages , Line Hotel Myeongdong was renovated on September 1, 2019, so it is very clean overall. It is also quiet and comfortable. We used a double room, and the bed was wide and soft, and the Wi-Fi speed was fast, so there was no inconvenience in watching videos or working. , 3️⃣ Line Hotel Myeongdong Service , Check-in was from 3pm to midnight, and check-out was until 11am. Luggage storage service was also available, so I was able to comfortably walk around Seoul before and after check-in. It was well-equipped with elevators and wheelchair access, so it was convenient for anyone to use~ , As of the time I booked, it was a good price for one night. Considering that it is a clean and quiet 3-star hotel in the center of Seoul, I felt that it was a good value for money. If you want to spend a day in Myeongdong, Seoul, I recommend Line Hotel Myeongdong~ Have a nice day~

hello everyone! The heat has been really scary lately, right?🥵 So I went to the best water park near Seoul, Caribbean Bay! Today, I'll share my review of Caribbean Bay and how you can enjoy it with a discount of up to 48% ~ , 1️⃣ Caribbean Bay , Caribbean Bay is a huge water park located right next to Everland in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do! It is less than an hour away from Seoul by car, so it is very accessible. And you can easily get there by subway + shuttle bus. Caribbean Bay is a large-scale water park with both indoor and outdoor areas. The most impressive thing was the Mega Storm Slide. I tried this slide right after entering, and it was a really thrilling and exciting experience. , 2️⃣ Advantages of Caribbean Bay , Caribbean Bay is not just a simple amusement facility, but also has a very well-made spa zone. In the afternoon when my body was tired from playing in the water, I was able to relax in places like the jasmine tea bath, jade bath, salt sauna, and couple foot bath. It felt like there was a small hot spring inside the water park, so it was really healing~ , 3️⃣ Caribbean Bay Discount Tickets , The discount tickets I used can be easily purchased online. The price may vary slightly depending on the site, but it is usually ₩23,400. You can buy it at that price, and in some cases, you can buy it for cheaper. I really recommend it because it's this price even during peak season. , Caribbean Bay is a water park that is perfect for a variety of people. It is the perfect summer destination for international students who want to cool off from the heat, couples who are looking for a date spot, and office workers who want to blow off some stress. If it is too hot this summer and you don’t want to stay at home, definitely visit Caribbean Bay. I already want to go again. Have a nice day~

Hello everyone! Today, I'm going to introduce my first escape room experience. I went to Hongdae, a hot place in Seoul, with my friends! It was a special experience that I would definitely recommend to international students! , 1️⃣ Korean Escape Room , For those of you who don't know what an escape room is, I'll give you a brief explanation. An escape room is a game where you enter a space filled with mysterious stories and puzzles, and you have to find clues and escape the room within a limited time. Since you have to work together with your friends to solve the problems, teamwork and reasoning skills are very important. I'm not good at that, but my friend was really good at it, so I followed him. Haha , 2️⃣ Escape Room in Hongdae, Korea , The place we visited was an escape room cafe located in Hongdae. The interior was really impressive! The entrance was decorated like a train station, and there were actual signs that said 'Departure' and 'Arrival'. Each theme made me feel like I was going on a trip, so it was really interesting and immersive. , 3️⃣ Korean Escape Room Experience , As you can see in the picture above, after the game is over, they give out a ticket that looks like a real train ticket as a souvenir! Isn’t it really detailed? The theme we chose this time was “384 DAYS.” Luckily, we had to solve the mystery that happened in a secret space and escape within the time limit! You can also get hints here and there, so it’s a beginner-friendly system! , Above all, I think the biggest charm of escape rooms is the fun of collaboration. The process of sharing ideas with friends and gradually unraveling the story was really interesting! I recommend the escape room experience to foreign friends who are visiting or studying in Korea. If you like games, definitely give it a try! Have a nice day~!

Hello everyone~ Today, I'm going to share my experience at Kookmin University in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. Kookmin University is a really attractive campus where you can study in a quiet and pleasant natural environment. Let's take a look together~ 😊 , 1️⃣ Introduction to Kookmin University , As soon as you arrive at the main gate of Kookmin University, the first thing that catches your eye is the shiny golden graduation cap character sculpture. Next to it is a neat sign that says "Kookmin University KOOKMIN UNIVERSITY," which feels like a welcome to even those who are visiting the campus for the first time~ , 2️⃣ Kookmin University Art Museum , The main reason I visited Kookmin University today was because I had something to do at the art museum. The exterior of the art museum building is modern and solid. It was a great atmosphere for art students. In particular, there is a large theater called Art Theatre on one side of the art museum, making it a complex cultural space where actual performances and exhibitions are often held. , The reason I went to the art gallery today was because of a special event being held at this theater! The Seoul International Dance Competition was being held. This festival is an international dance competition where dancers from all over the world participate, and today, dancers and officials from many different countries came to Kookmin University for this event. I was in charge of helping with the Chinese interpretation for this event, and it was a really great time. , 3️⃣ Kookmin University Campus , And there is a large playground in the middle of the campus. I could see students spending their time freely playing soccer and taking walks. I tried to sit down for a while and look at the scenery, but it was too hot so I couldn't. I want to come back in the fall. , If you are an international student and are interested in Korean universities, I recommend you visit Kookmin University. See you in the next story! 💬 Have a nice day today~

I'm going to share my review with you today! , 1️⃣ Introduction to the Han River Cruise Experience , E-Land Cruise departs from Jamsil and Yeouido and operates various themed cruises by time zone, including daytime, sunset, moonlight, starlight, and even fireworks. I went in the evening. When I booked the E-Land Hangang Cruise , it was really easy and flexible to choose the time zone I wanted. The city lights and moonlight at night were so pretty and healing. , 2️⃣ Han River Cruise Experience , And the cruise connects the iconic sights of Seoul. You can see 63 Building, Banpo Bridge, N Seoul Tower, and Lotte World Tower ! At night, the night view is even more sparkling, and if you’re lucky, you can see the Banpo Rainbow Fountain unfolding on the water. In particular, the cruise departing from Yeouido passed Nodeul Island and Seogang Bridge, and I felt how beautiful Seoul is as a city. , 3️⃣ Experience the Han River Cruise , People often think that you have to go far away to travel, but I think that you can travel enough even within Seoul thanks to E-Land Cruise ! This cruise experience is a romantic and memorable trip~ It seems like a good idea to go with a lover or make memories with friends!

hello everyone! I went to the Jannabi National Tour 'All Boys and Girls 2025' concert held at Daegu EXCO East Wing Exhibition Hall 6 on Saturday, June 28th. Today, I'm going to share my review of the Jannabi concert 😊 , I saw Jannabi's performance at Hanyang University Festival last time and thought, "I have to go to their concert next time!" I still vividly remember the emotions I felt on stage that day. So as soon as the ticket sales opened in May, I immediately reserved the concert tickets and finally went to see the Jannabi concert on June 28th! , This concert was the last stage of the tour that followed the release of their 4th regular album, Sound of Music pt. 1. It was a truly abundant stage as they performed a variety of songs, including new songs as well as Jannabi's representative songs! (Of course, they say that an encore concert is also scheduled for August!) In particular, "All the Boys and Girls: Rainbow" is a song that contains the story of Jannabi's childhood and growth, so it left a deep aftertaste as if a chapter was ending. Also, I was able to hear my favorite song among the new songs, "In the Name of Love," and more than anything, it was truly moving to hear my favorite song, "For Lovers Who Hesitate," live. , Every single light, every change in lighting, and even the images on stage felt like watching a 'music play'. And although there were seats in the concert hall, when the show actually started, almost no one sat down and everyone stood up and enjoyed it together. Giving themselves to Jannabi's music, waving their hands, singing together... It was really the best. , Actually, this concert was held on June 28th and 29th, but I only went on Saturday. The concert venue was Daegu EXCO, and since I have many friends who live in Daegu, I was able to meet them before and after the concert and chat with them, and have a great time. I listened to good music, met nice people, and it was a really warm and happy day in many ways :) , I really liked the Jannabi concert so much that I want to go again next time. Do you guys like Jannabi? have a good day!

Hello everyone! Today, I'm going to share my trip to Seongsu! What are you all doing during the vacation? , 1️⃣ Seongsu outing - Jojo Kalguksu , We were hungry from the morning, so we headed to Jojo Kalguksu. Jojo Kalguksu is famous, so we wanted to come here. We ordered 4 servings, and they served us a large bowl. We also ordered seafood pancake, and there was plump seafood and vegetables floating around... Just looking at it made me feel warm inside. The kalguksu broth is, as expected, clear and light, but also rich and deep. The seafood pancake has a unique taste that is different from the traditional green onion pancake. , 2️⃣ Seongsu Outing - Olive Young Cafe , After eating, we went to the Olive Young cafe. If you spend a certain amount of money in the first half of the year at Olive Young, you can use the top-floor cafe for free. We were lucky enough to be included, so we took the elevator all the way up. The cafe was impressive with its green plants and European picnic-like interior. The drinks ranged from refreshing ade to strong lattes, and most of all, the dessert plating was truly a work of art! As you can see from the photo, it’s so pretty, right? , 3️⃣ Seongsu Outing - Seongsu Shopping , If you walk a little after leaving the cafe, there are many beautiful buildings and stylish alleys. In particular, tourists always take pictures in front of the Dior House. The Dior House has a unique exterior, so even if you just take a picture, it feels like a pictorial! And Seongsu is a pop-up paradise. Many trendy brands open pop-up stores in Seongsu, so it’s fun to discover new brands just by walking around. , Seongsu has a new space every time I go, so it's fun to walk around and say, "It's changed again here?"~ How are you all spending your vacation? have a good day!

hello everyone! A few days ago, I went to Lotte World Seoul with a friend and bought a discount ticket. The price was a whopping ₩40,200! It was much cheaper than the official price, so I made a reservation without hesitation. Today, I'm going to share my review of Lotte World~ , 1️⃣ Lotte World Seoul Review 1 , As soon as you get off at Jamsil Station on Line 2 or 8, you can go straight to Lotte World. I entered with a 1-day Adventure & Magic Island pass . I bought the ticket online and just showed the QR code with the mobile voucher and that was it! It was very convenient because I didn’t have to wait in line for the ticket. And there are so many rides that you can ride unlimitedly! Atlantis, Gyro Drop, and Flume Ride are all included. And the indoor parade! It was so much fancier and cuter than I thought, I loved it. , 2️⃣ Lotte World Seoul Review 2 , And I additionally I also chose the aquarium option . I didn't realize how much time had passed while quietly looking at the corals and fish. It was so healing. The Korean Folk Museum was also included in the ticket, so I stopped by for a bit, and it really felt like I had traveled back in time to the Joseon Dynasty! If you come with a friend who likes aquariums, it would be nice to take pictures. , 3️⃣ Lotte World Seoul Review 3 , Lotte World has ample operating hours so you can fully enjoy it in one day. It is open from 10AM to 9PM from Sunday to Thursday, and from 10AM to 10PM on Friday and Saturday. So you can take your time during the week and play until late at night on the weekend! I went on a Friday, and the atmosphere was really great because the lights and music from Magic Island came together in the evening. , I had a very fulfilling day with rides, an aquarium, and a museum. I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Seoul ~ have a good day!

Hello everyone~! Today, I'm going to introduce you to Namiseom! Actually, I didn't know that there would be such a quiet and beautiful place just a little bit away from Seoul. I had a really good time on the Namiseom day trip 😊 , 1️⃣ Korean travel destination - Nami Island , You can choose from Hongdae, Myeongdong, and Dongdaemun as your starting point, but I chose Hongdae because it was the closest to Seoul. And as soon as I arrived, what unfolded before my eyes was exactly like the scene I saw in the drama Winter Sonata. The long walking path with tall trees on both sides really made my heart feel calmer as I walked. Every moment was really so healing. Namiseom itself was like a garden~ , 2️⃣ Korean travel destinations - Namiseom Island, Achimgogyo Arboretum , There are two tour options. One is Petite France + Italian Village . The course I chose was Namiseom + Morning Calm Arboretum . As the name suggests, it was really quiet and I felt like my mind was being purified. It was a little hot in the summer, but my eyes felt refreshed when I saw the green trees. It was so pretty that I wanted to come back every season. This is a highly recommended course for those who really like taking pictures! , Above all, it was great that I could focus solely on sightseeing without shopping! And the guides spoke both English and Chinese, so even if I didn't speak Korean well, there was no problem at all. Also, since the admission ticket was included, I could go around with peace of mind without having to pay separately~ , For those who want a short escape from Seoul and want to deeply experience Korea's natural scenery, I highly recommend visiting here~ have a good day!

hello everyone! Today, I'm going to recommend you the Korean drama Squid Game Season 3. Squid Game Season 3 came out on June 27th and I binge-watched it right away. Has anyone seen it? , 1️⃣ Squid Game 3 , Squid Game Season 3 was released worldwide on Netflix on June 27, 2025. This season features familiar characters from previous seasons, including Lee Jung-jae (as Sung Ki-hoon), Wi Ha-joon (as Hwang Joon-ho), Gong Jeong-hwan, and Lee Byung-hun, as well as new contestants, adding fresh tension to the story. This time, the story goes beyond a simple game. It involves human desire, inequality, survival, and choice. , 2️⃣ Squid Game Season 3 , I personally found season 1 more fun, but I enjoyed this one too. The genre is the same as before, focusing on survival, thriller, and social criticism, but this time, the story has expanded beyond the survival of the game participants to include the internal rifts of those who design and watch the game, as well as resistance to the system. I really wonder who will survive until the end. , 3️⃣ Squid Game Season 3 Seongsu-dong Poster , I went to Seongsu-dong last time and saw a poster for Squid Game Season 3. I even took a picture of it, and as soon as I saw it, I thought, "Ah... it's started..." If you have any plans to go to Seongsu-dong these days, have fun looking for the poster yourself! , I think it would be good for those who watched seasons 1 and 2 to watch season 3 as well. And I recommend this to those who subscribe to Netflix but say they have nothing to watch these days! Have a nice day~

The main store is located a short walk away from Exit 3 of Jungangno Station on Subway Line 1 in Daegu. If you are traveling to Daegu, I recommend going shopping in Dongseong-ro and getting some bread to go from Samsong Bakery. , 2️⃣ Famous Korean Bakery - Samsong Bakery Whole Corn Bread , When you think of Samsong Bakery, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely 'corn bread'! Corn, mayonnaise, and cheese are evenly mixed inside the soft bread, so it's salty and rich. Once you try it, you can't stop thinking about it, so I've been looking for this corn bread ever since I first tried it! In addition to corn bread, Samsong Bakery has many other delicious breads. Cream cheese rice cake bread, vegetable croquette, Korean beef croquette, and other breads are also delicious.

However, there are many reviews that say that the bread from the main store is more delicious~ , Today, I introduced you to Samsong Bakery, a bakery that you absolutely must visit if you love bread.

In particular, the College of Engineering is recognized domestically and internationally, so I think it would be good for international students who are interested in science and engineering to take note of it! , 2️⃣ Introduction to Korean University - Hanyang University 2 , And the campus is also famous for its beauty! When I went to the Seoul campus, I felt it was really convenient because I got off at Hanyang University Station on Subway Line 2 and it was directly connected to the school. As soon as I got out of the exit, I could see the school campus right away, and since the moving route was short, even first-time visitors could find it without difficulty. On the day of my visit, I ate at a restaurant near the school, and I remember the atmosphere being good and the food being really delicious. The campus is also well-equipped with facilities for students, such as a library, dormitory, gymnasium, and student cafeteria. , 3️⃣ Introduction to Hanyang University - Hanyang University 3 , In the latest QS World University Rankings for 2026, Hanyang University ranked 159th! It was ranked 162nd in 2025, so this increase in ranking is an indicator that Hanyang University is steadily developing.

Today, I would like to share my experience from the conference~ , 1️⃣ Review of Korean Academic Conference Presentation 1 , The conference I am participating in this time is the '2025 National Graduate Student Conference', a place for academic exchange for graduate students across the country. This conference is hosted by the BK21 Education and Research Group of the Department of Media Studies at Korea University, and the BK21 FOUR of the Department of Journalism and Communication at Seoul National University, and is a valuable place to share academic inspiration with graduate students who dream of becoming future researchers! , 2️⃣ Korean Academic Conference Presentation Review 2 , Here, graduate students from all over the country gathered together to share and communicate their research, which was a meaningful time. I learned a lot from listening to the presentations of many excellent graduate students, and it was a very beneficial experience. Especially for presenters, it was great that they were given professional feedback and discussion time from professors. At first, I was very nervous about presenting in an unfamiliar place. I was very nervous before the presentation started, but once I started, I started to feel relaxed little by little as I saw people listening to what I had to say. , 3️⃣ Korean Academic Conference Presentation Review 3 , This conference was held for 2 days and 1 night, and I was really impressed that they provided accommodations at a nice hotel. As you can see from the photos below, the hotel was really cozy and clean, which was nice! As an international student, I was really grateful and proud to have the opportunity to present at such a place~ , What was most surprising was that the paper I presented unexpectedly won an award of excellence!

Do you like actress Park Bo-young? I like her so much that I watch her dramas. Actress Park Bo-young surprisingly naturally digests two characters who look the same but are completely different.

Hello everyone Summers in Korea are incredibly hot, right? For international students who are spending their summer vacations in Korea, aren’t you wondering where to go for your vacation? It’s a shame to spend the hot and humid summers in Seoul. So today, I’d like to recommend a trip to a beach where you can enjoy the cool ocean and clear skies! , 1️⃣ Gangwon-do Beach , Gangwon-do is a popular summer travel destination because it is easily accessible from Seoul and the ocean is clean and wide. There are also many international students attending universities in Seoul, so I think Gangwon-do is a great choice for a summer vacation travel destination. , For example, Sokcho is easily accessible by KTX and is close to the terminal, making it very convenient to visit by public transportation. Gyeongpo Beach is also a place I would like to recommend. This is the most popular beach representing Gangneung. The white sand is wide and the atmosphere is lively, making it a place where you can really feel the charm of the summer sea. Also, Naksan Beach in Yangyang offers many surfing lessons and is a place where many foreign visitors come, making it a convenient and enjoyable place for international students~ , 2️⃣ Gangwon Beach Opening Schedule , This year, Gangwon-do beaches will open sequentially from late June to mid-July and will be open until mid- to late August. Please refer to the schedule below to plan your vacation~ And if you want to enjoy the night view and cool breeze together, be sure to check the night opening schedule! , 3️⃣ Precautions for Gangwon Beach , If you are planning a trip to Gangwon-do Beach, make sure to bring sunscreen! The Korean summer sunlight is quite strong! And a waterproof phone bag is also a must-have item. July and August are peak seasons, so you should also book accommodations near the beach in advance ~ , I hope you all have a cool and happy trip to the beach this summer! 🌊 Have a nice day~

Hello everyone The 2026 university rankings came out a few days ago. Let’s take a look at whether there have been any changes in the rankings of Korean universities this time. , 1️⃣ What is the QS World University Rankings? , First, let me briefly explain what the QS World University Rankings are. The QS World University Rankings is a ranking published annually by QS (Quacquarelli Symonds), a British university evaluation agency, targeting universities around the world. The evaluation criteria reflect various factors such as academic reputation, graduate reputation, number of students per professor, number of paper citations, percentage of foreign professors, and percentage of foreign students. Therefore, it is a highly reliable indicator that international students often use as a reference when preparing to study abroad. , 2️⃣ Korean University , So where will Korean universities rank in the 2026 QS rankings? One of the most notable things about this year’s rankings is that KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) was excluded from the rankings altogether. A total of 43 Korean universities were named in the 2026 QS rankings. Of these, only three universities made it into the world’s top 100: Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Korea University. These three universities complete the “SKY” lineup that represents Korea. In addition to the top 100, there are six universities that are in the world’s top 200. POSTECH, Sungkyunkwan University, and Hanyang University also made it into the world’s top 200. , The QS rankings are an important reference for choosing a school, but you should be careful not to make a decision based solely on the numbers. For example, it is important to carefully consider realistic conditions, such as whether the major you want to study has strengths, and whether there are good international student support programs or scholarships. , If you are considering studying abroad at a Korean university in the future, I recommend that you refer to this ranking and carefully choose the school that best suits your major, area of ​​interest, and career goals! Have a nice day~

Hello everyone! Today, I'd like to introduce my favorite Korean songs and singers! These are precious songs that always fill my playlist when I'm having a hard time or feeling good. Do you have a favorite Korean singer? , 1️⃣ Korean singer - Day6 , The first team I'm going to introduce is DAY6! Unlike other K-POP idol groups, DAY6 is a band-type idol group that plays their own instruments and releases their own songs. Personally, there are a few songs from DAY6 that I really want to recommend! It's called 'Become a Page'! I don't know if you've heard it, but if you haven't, you should definitely listen to it. I really like the lyrics that seem to depict a scene from youth and the refreshing sound! , 2️⃣ Korean singer - Jannibi , Second, I'd like to introduce you to Jannabi. Jannabi is an indie rock band that debuted in 2014. Have you ever heard the phrase, "That old-time emotional band?" That band is Jannabi. Jannabi's music is a little different from the common trends these days. It's influenced by the rock, folk, and classical sounds of the 1960s and 70s, so when you listen to it, it feels like you're time traveling. , I'll introduce some songs that I especially like. 'For Hesitant Lovers', 'Hot Summer Nights Gone, What's Left Is Unsightly' are songs that I've listened to a lot since a long time ago. I also really like 'In the Name of Love' that came out recently, so I've been listening to it on repeat these days. When I listen to Jannabi's songs, it makes me happy because it reminds me of a scene from an old movie. , Next time I'll introduce you to another singer I like :) Have a nice day~

Hello everyone I recently watched the Korean movie Love in the Big City on Netflix. I liked it so much that I wanted to introduce it to you today. , 1️⃣ Korean Movie - Introduction to Love in the Big City , Love in the Big City is a movie that was released on October 1, 2024. It is based on a best-selling novel of the same name. The movie received a lot of attention immediately after its release, surpassing 870,000 viewers. Last October, I saw on Instagram that a lot of my friends went to see this movie. The rating is also high at 8.33. And this movie is clearly different from existing romance or growth dramas. It may seem like a provocative phrase, “Crazy X meets gay!”, but it contains the intense lives, love, and identity exploration of young people living in the city. , 2️⃣ Korean Movie - Introducing the main characters of Love in the Big City , The main character Jae-hee is a character that overwhelms your gaze the moment you see him. He has a bold and flashy style, and a personality that doesn't care about other people's opinions. On the outside, he always looks confident and free, but inside, he is a lonely and complex character more than anyone else. This movie starts with the story of a gay man, but it doesn't stop at a queer narrative. Rather, I think it contains universal emotions that we all feel, such as the longing for a sense of belonging, the fear of being loved, and the process of accepting oneself. , I think it's a movie with delicate emotional endings. I liked that it allowed us to follow the characters' emotions with just calm background music and the movement of the eyes, rather than loud music. Above all, actress Kim Go-eun is pretty and her acting is very good, so I was deeply impressed. , Do you guys like Korean movies? Have a nice day~

The butcher shop in particular had the most people because the meat quality was good and the prices were reasonable. And the seasonal fruits and vegetables were plump and fresh, and I bought melons and grapes! There were also plenty of snacks like fried food, fish cakes, tteokbokki, sundae, steamed buns, and hotteok in between the market alleys~ , Above all, the biggest attraction of Namguro Market is its low prices. It is much cheaper than the mart, the quantity is generous, and they even give discounts... Thanks to that, my shopping cart was quickly filled. Haha. These days, there are many large marts and franchise stores, but I still sometimes visit a cozy alley market and feel the warm scent of people and the lively atmosphere. When I want to do that, I always come to a market like this! , If you are an international student who has never been to a traditional market before, or an international student who lives near Guro, Seoul, I highly recommend you visit Namguro Market! 😊 Have a nice day~
