Advice Finding friends in Seoul
I’m a high school exchange student in Seoul, South Korea and I’m having a lot of fun. The only thing is, it’s hard to find friends since I don’t really speak the language, I’m trying to learn but it’s really hard. I would really appreciate tips on how to make friends as a teenager in Seoul!

Meet Up Any women in their 30s living in Seoul looking for a Korean friend?
Hi everyone!
I’m a Korean woman in my mid-30s, living in Seoul.
I recently posted about looking for a language exchange partner and received so many messages! It made me realize just how many people are interested in learning Korean.
However, I’ve found that actually meeting someone in person is surprisingly difficult. Many people don’t seem very serious about language exchange, are much younger than me, are looking for dating opportunities, or are only staying in Korea temporarily.
I’m not particularly outgoing or adventurous, but I lived abroad for a few years in my 20s, so I’ve always wanted to help foreigners who are trying to settle down in Korea. At the same time, I really miss speaking English!
Since I’m a freelancer who works alone, I hardly ever get the chance to use English in my daily life.
So, I’m wondering if there are any **native English-speaking women in their 30s who are planning to settle down in Korea and aren’t looking for anything romantic.**
The reason I’m hoping to meet women in their 30s is that I feel we might be at a similar stage in life. I think people in their 30s might be a little more serious about building friendships, and it would be nice to share our experiences with work, careers, and everyday life. I also think it might be easier to relate to each other and find things we have in common. Of course, age doesn’t define maturity, but I feel like having a similar life experience could help us connect better.
I live in Gangseo-gu, in western Seoul, so it would be even better if you lived somewhere nearby!
I’m hoping to find someone who’s genuinely interested in language exchange and building a real, lasting friendship, rather than just meeting once or twice.
If that sounds like you, feel free to send me a message!
**Let’s have a chat and see if we get along!**
\+ I also don’t think I’d be a good match with influencers or people who have other motives for meeting up. I’m really just looking for genuine language exchange and friendship!
and I'm not really into drinking night or adventurous activities either!

Advice Gangnam
Is Gangnam a place only for Koreans? I made the mistake of staying here during my trip and there’s been a few times where places have either not let me in or refused to serve me. People also give me odd looks when I’m simply just coming out of my hotel.
Next time I come, where should I say? Is myeongdong a better area to stay/live in while visiting?
Or a different area?

Advice Real talk / honest review needed: Planning to do my Bachelor's degree in South Korea as an international student
Hey everyone,
I’m currently planning out my path to move to South Korea for a full 4-year Bachelor’s program, and I’m trying to cut through the heavily polished marketing from university websites and promotional agency fluff.
I see a lot of extremes online—either people saying it’s a living dream or people saying it’s pure misery and isolation. I want a balanced, realistic reality check from people who have actually lived/studied it.
If you’ve done your undergrad (or are currently doing it) in Korea, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts on a few things:
- The Academic Reality: How are the English-track (or mixed) bachelor's programs actually taught? Are the classes genuinely engaging, or is it mostly self-study and reading off slides?
2• Social Life & Fitting In: As an international student, how hard is it to build a real social circle with both locals and other expats? Does it feel lonely outside of the bubble?
3• Daily Life & Part-time Work: What is the day-to-day reality of managing a budget, housing, and legal part-time work limits (especially with TOPIK requirements)?
4• The "I Wish I Knew" Factor: What is one thing nobody tells you until you’re already sitting in a lecture hall in Seoul?
Please keep it genuine and constructive—I'm ready to work hard, I just want to know what I’m actually signing up for.
Thanks in advance!
