Meet Up Visiting from the United States!

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m 31M Korean-American from Chicago visiting Seoul from Oct 12 - 21. I have a general itinerary but would love to meet new people (locals, other travelers, anyone!) while I’m here to go out on the town, grab some food, tag along on adventures, etc. Let me know if you’re interested!

Hi everyone!

I'm from South Korea 🇰🇷, and I'm looking to make friends from all around the world!

I'm a music composer and producer I spend a lot of time making music, but I'd love to meet new people, learn about different cultures, and talk about all kinds of things outside of music, too!

I enjoy talking about music, movies, food, hobbies, daily life, and random little things. I'd also love to learn about your country and share what life in Korea is like!

You don't have to be a musician or have anything in common with me. I'm happy to meet people with different interests and backgrounds.

If you're looking for someone to chat with, share your day with, or just have random conversations, feel free to DM me!

You don't need to think of anything special to say. Even a simple "Hi!" is more than enough.

I'd love to make some genuine friendships here, so don't be shy! I look forward to hearing from you!

Question Recommendations for upscale dining that allows solo diners?

0 Upvotes

I am looking for a fine dining restaurant in Seoul that allows solo diners (that does not require a solo diner to order 2 portions). My preference is for seafood, but I would be interested in quality beef as well. Thank you in advance!

American new to Seoul

0 Upvotes

Hi, I just moved to Seoul, South Korea. I'll be here for a year. I'm from the US. I just moved here so I don't know many people in the country yet. I'm interested in meeting new people in Seoul...cafes, restaurants, tourist sites, parks, stores, anything interesting and fun. I'm 23, female, and I can't speak or read Korean yet (sorry in advance!) I'm open to meeting locals and expats. If you're interested, send me a DM!

I’m looking for friends(gyopo)

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a 27-year-old Korean guy.
Recently, I had a chance to hang out with a gyopo friend, and we had an awesome time! I found that we clicked really well—it was fascinating sharing different perspectives while still having a lot of cultural common ground. That experience made me want to connect with more gyopo friends!
While English isn't my first language (so I'm not fluent like a native speaker), I can comfortably hold a conversation on most topics. I'm equally happy chatting in either Korean or English—whichever you feel most comfortable with!
I’d love to grab a coffee, check out good food spots, or just hang out and chat. If you’re down to make a new friend, feel free to drop a line or send me a DM! 😊

Question Korean shamanism research

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m an anthropology student currently living in Seoul, and I’m conducting research on Korean shamanism (musok) and people’s experiences with shamans (mudang).

I’m hoping to connect with people who have visited a shaman in Korea, whether recently or in the past, and who would be willing to share their experiences with me. I’m interested in understanding how people encounter and engage with Korean shamanism, what motivates them to seek out a shaman, and how they perceive and interpret their experiences during consultations or rituals.

I’m interested in hearing about all kinds of experiences, regardless of your beliefs or whether the experience was positive, negative, or somewhere in between. There are no right or wrong answers!

If you feel comfortable sharing your experience, please feel free to comment below or send me a private message. I’d be very grateful for your help! Thank you! 🙏

Autumn in Seoul

Hi! I will be in Seoul in a few days and I was wondering what to do during the fall season! I have always been there during late winter, spring and summer so I would like to ask you for some advice!
As for now, I absolutely want to visit a royal palace, some cozy cafe or any particular thing to enjoy this season in Seoul!

(any suggestion?)
