One of the biggest reasons I started Unplugged Seoul was because I kept noticing quiet, shy, awkward-looking people wandering alone.

And to be honest — sometimes when I’m out laughing with friends, I catch someone watching from a distance. Not just curious — disconnected. Maybe even lonely.

That’s when it hit me: they deserve a space too.

In a city that moves fast, it’s easy to feel like you’re in the way. So what do you do? You look at your phone. Not because you need to — but because it makes you look occupied.

Even if it makes you feel more alone.

Social media is loud. It tells you what to eat, where to go, how to have fun — like there’s only one “right” way to experience Seoul. 

But if you have a quieter spirit, that noise can feel overwhelming. The more you scroll, the further away you feel.

This is for the quiet ones who want to experience the real Seoul — but don’t know where to start. Especially those caught in that loop: isolation → screen → more isolation.

Unplugged Seoul gently breaks that cycle.

It’s a space for soft connection, small insights, and slow joy — not packed itineraries or performative fun.

If you’ve ever scrolled your phone just to escape the discomfort of standing alone in a crowd — you’re not alone here.

Unplugged Seoul is where you can finally look up, breathe, and feel the city — with someone walking beside you who gets it.
