About your_Korea

The insider guide to Seoul — written in Seoul, for people who just landed.

What we do

your_Korea is an independent guide to Seoul for international visitors. We write the practical, honest guides we wish existed the first time a friend asked us "so how does the subway work?" — the transit passes, the apps, the money, the food rules, and the neighbourhoods that are actually worth your afternoon.

How we work

  • Practical over pretty. Every guide opens with the short answer, and answers the questions people actually ask.
  • Honest. If something is overrated, overpriced or closes at 5pm, we say so.
  • Kept current. Prices, hours and rules in Korea change fast. We re-check guides regularly and mark when each was last updated. If you spot something out of date, tell us — we fix it.
  • Clear about money. Some links are affiliate links, and we say so. Sponsored content, if we ever run it, will always be labelled. Read our disclosure.

Who we are

A small team based in Seoul. We live here, commute here, eat here and show visiting friends around here — which is exactly the perspective these guides are written from.
