Hi bestie, I’m Eungul—your local door-opener in Seoul
After living in New Zealand for 8 months, exploring Europe for 6 months (across 3 different trips), and vibing in the USA for multiple stays—I came back to Korea with fresh eyes. That’s when I noticed tourists were literally walking past all the best spots in Seoul daily.
My global perspective showed me exactly what international travelers miss: those hidden cafés with immaculate vibes, local spots where prices hit different, and secret hangouts no algorithm recommends.
That feeling when a local friend shows you the real side of a city? That’s what I’m obsessed with creating for you. I’m not your basic tour guide pointing at landmarks. I’m your Seoul bestie who knows which unmarked doors lead to core memories.
Having lived the international life, I understand European expectations and Korean reality. I’ve been that lost tourist before—now I’m the friend you need on the ground in Seoul. Let’s skip the filtered experiences and create your own Seoul story together.
