🔌 Unplugged Seoul
For when your soul's tired of content and your screen's full of mid.
- Mission-based Seoul exploration — analog maps, no GPS, just signs and your squad.
- Rock-paper-scissors picks your route. Icons + hidden gems + café finale.
- Phones off. I shoot. You explore. Photos tomorrow.
If you're Gen Z/Millennial energy, this is your Seoul. TikTok pace, not Facebook shuffle.
Phones off. Side quest on.

There are two types of travelers:
1. Algorithm Tourists
Seongsu, Hongdae, Myeongdong—you hit every Instagram hotspot because TikTok said so. Overhyped shopping districts where every tourist takes the same photo. You went because it’s famous, not because it’s good. Your camera roll is full. Your Seoul experience is empty.
2. Digital Ghosts
Solo in a city of 10 million. Your phone isn’t a map—it’s a shield. You scroll because looking at your screen feels safer than looking up. You check “what to do in Seoul” for the fifth time, not because you’re lost—just avoiding the uncomfortable feeling of being present. Same coping mechanism you use at home when you’re bored. Except you flew 9,000 km to do it here. That main-character-but-invisible feeling while you pretend you’re having the time of your life in your Stories.
⚒️This tour fixes both. Phone off—no scrolling shield, no algorithm. Rock-paper-scissors picks your route. Analog maps force you to look up. Small crew means you’re not invisible. I handle the photos—you actually experience Seoul.
TL;DR: 3-hour Seoul side quest. Phones off. Rock-paper-scissors picks your route. Hit iconic + hidden spots. Analog navigation only. I shoot. You explore. Photos tomorrow. Max 7 players. €39 all-in.
Seoul without the algorithm. Phones off. Seoul on.

Your guide
I’m Eungul (Kimchiman). Grew up online, got tired of living through a screen. Started this after watching too many travelers film everything and feel nothing. Not a lecture—just 3 hours phones-down. Past guests say it’s less like a tour, more like exploring with your friends’ squad (except one of you knows where to go). Turns out you make better memories when you’re not worried about making content.

Why West Seoul?
Most tours stick to the east. We explore where locals actually live—west side neighborhoods you won’t find on TikTok. Cross the river. Zero GPS.
🚫 Not your vibe?
If you want a traditional guided tour with full itinerary control, heavy photo ops, or 24/7 messaging support—there are other tours for that.
This is for people who can handle 3 hours off-grid and trust the process.
