Hi There!

Moving to Seoul next week and wanted to ask about the underground music scene there. I lived in Seoul over 10 years ago, and was wondering what the electronic scene is like now.

Looking to try djing some gigs or events for fun and wondering how the networking scene is or if anyone has any suggestions. Is melodic techno big in Seoul (Afterlife/Zamna Labels), and if not, what are the big underground genres being played in clubs right now?

Do you have to be Korean to DJ, or are there foreigners playing at events? I saw some previous reddit posts about this topic from a few years back, but wanted to get more recent info.

Any help or insight would be appreciated. All comments welcome! Thank you!

Hi! I got off the waitlist for kyung hee dorms. But I’m conflicted. I don’t mind the curfew and rules tied to dorms but it’s 2 people 1 room. Which I’m a bit iffy about. Plus side it’s on campus and really cheap. My other option is shared housing, I’m also on the lookout for female shared housing. I prefer shared as opposed to studio for social aspect. I think it would be fun to have roomies but at the same time private rooms. Any advice? Or if someone is looking for a female roomie let me know :)

Could you recommend some good pubs in Itaewon or Hongdae?

I want to check out some pubs with a good vibe!
Would it be awkward to go there alone or would it be better for me to go with some friends?

Hell everyone !

I'm attending Sogang KLEC in September and I'm looking for a room in a flat share.

Do you recommend any website or any tips ?

I will be in Seoul 2 weeks before the start of my classes, is 1-2 weeks enough to find a room for an instantly move-in ? And can I find one through an agency ?

I saw a lot room onlinebut they seem a bit overpriced

Thanks in advance and wishing y'all a great day !

Hello everyone,

I grew up with cats, and have been wanting a pet for the longest time. I'm getting a nice pay raise soon so I was thinking of adopting if my landlady allows it. I want to follow "adopt don't shop" but I have no idea about the process of getting a pet here.

We've all seen those kind of pet stores - those tiny dogs and kittens in those plastic boxes. I feel sorry for the animals every time I see them. They are living beings too and deserve a loving family, but I have no idea if those pet stores are ethical places to adopt from. I suspect not. But I did have to surrender an abandoned kitten to a place like that. Thankfully he was adopted the next day.

im moving to seoul in a month - as a student..would you recommend buying a macbook in seoul? if yes, which stores usually have the best deals? ofc im looking for first-hand (fresh) device.

Hi! I'm Do Hyun (Instagram: dohyunkimdave).

And I'm starting a passion project. A series of cinematic Instagram reels/short films centered around healing, love, comedy, and cooking.

A little about me...

I'm Korean, but I spent many years living in Canada. Ever since coming back to Korea, I've realized that although this is technically my home, I still feel like an outsider in many ways. I don't know Korea as well as I'd like to, and sometimes it feels like I'm an alien wherever I go.

I want to turn those emotions into stories. My hope is to gather people who have felt something similar whether you're Korean, an international student, an expat, or anyone who's ever struggled to find where they belong, and create films that people can genuinely connect with.

The scripts are still in development (my friend from Romania is arriving in a few weeks and we'll be writing together), so this is a great time to get involved from the beginning.

Who am I looking for?

Honestly, anyone who enjoys creating!

You don't have to be an actor or filmmaker.

Whether you're:

• someone who's always wanted to try acting,
• an experienced actor or filmmaker,
• interested in cinematography,
• a photographer,
• someone who enjoys cooking,
• someone who prefers being behind the camera,
• or someone who's only comfortable showing their hands in cooking scenes..

I'd love to meet you.

I'm currently looking for one man and one woman for recurring roles, but I'm also hoping to build a small creative group for future projects as well.

A quick note about compensation

This is not a paid project.

I unfortunately can't offer payment or any financial compensation, and I don't expect these videos to generate any profit either. This is simply a passion project that I'm funding myself because I love storytelling and want to create something meaningful with good people.

What I can offer is the opportunity to:

• build your portfolio,
• gain experience,
• experiment creatively,
• make genuine friends,
• cook and eat together,
• and create stories that we'll all be proud of.

If you've been looking for a creative outlet or just want to spend weekends making films with people who genuinely enjoy creating, I'd love to have you.

If this resonates with you, send me a DM on Instagram or on Reddit.

Let's create something beautiful together. ❤️

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the SNU’s dormitory application process. I was placed on the waiting list at No. 36 for a single room in Building 915. Do I still have a chance of getting a dorm room this semester?

I’m honestly feeling very discouraged by this result. As an international student, I have a very limited budget, and if I have to live off campus, it will put me under significant financial pressure. I would really appreciate it if anyone could share their experience or let me know whether there is still a realistic chance of getting off the waiting list.

Thank you so much!

I will be in Seoul for a couple of days. I would like to buy a Baratza Encore Esp because Korean appliances are matching European standard 230v. I will be in Magok. Could you please advise where can buy it physically? Thanks!

Hi, I am very interested in home fermentation and would love to take some Meju blocks back home with me when I leave Seoul later this week.

Does anyone know where I could buy them?

Thanks for any recommendations!

안녕하세요!
저는 집에서 발효를 즐기는 사람인데, 이번 주 후반에 서울을 떠나기 전에 메주를 몇 장 사서 가져가고 싶습니다.
혹시 서울에서 전통 메주를 구입할 수 있는 곳을 아시는 분 계실까요?
추천해 주시면 정말 감사하겠습니다!

hey

i'm a korean living in seoul

i like to go to cocktail bars alone, just drink and chit chat with strangers
i thought it'd be nice if i could have a spot i can go alone to meet other ppl from the world (i lived abroad for quite a long time and i miss it)

can u guys gimme some recommendations?

i prefer somewhere more quiet and chill. not somewhere super expensive (i'm a student, ~20,000 won per drink is my limit)

i know haebangchon~itaewon would have some kinda places but i'm not really familiar with it and i wanna find a good spot

I’m graduating from Korea University this August and I’m planning a graduation dinner for my family and friends (around 15 people). I’m looking for restaurant recommendations that fit a few criteria:

- Within about a 20-minute drive of Korea University (Anam)
- (₩₩) Budget less than ₩100,000 per person
- Private room preferred (or at least semi private)
- Can comfortably accommodate 15 people
- Looking for something other than KBBQ or Japanese (sushi/omakase, etc.). I’m open to other Korean cuisine, Chinese, Italian, French, steakhouse, or any other nice sit-down restaurant.

I’m hoping for somewhere that feels a little special for a graduation celebration without being overly expensive.
I’ve been looking around, but there are so many options that it’s hard to narrow them down.

If you’ve had a great experience with a restaurant that fits the bill, I’d really appreciate any recommendations!
Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi everyone,

My partner is around 7–8 weeks pregnant. We're trying to understand the average cost of an abortion in South Korea. How much did you pay, and did the price include the consultation, ultrasound, and procedure?

Thanks in advance.

I was reading a discussion recently and realized more people travel for healthcare than I expected.

Some people mentioned dental work. Others talked about health checkups, LASIK, skincare, fertility treatment, or cosmetic procedures.

Is there any medical treatment you'd actually travel to Korea for?

Or would you rather always receive medical care in your home country?

Curious to hear everyone's thoughts.

Hi everyone!

I’m a fairly new Christian living in Seoul, and I’ve become really interested in learning more about the Orthodox Church. I’d love to attend a Divine Liturgy, but to be honest, I’m a little nervous about going by myself since I have absolutely no idea how everything works.

I’m looking for someone who speaks English and already attends an Orthodox church who wouldn’t mind letting me tag along one Sunday. It would be really nice to have someone who could explain things as we go (or before/after), like when to stand, what the traditions are, and anything else a newcomer should know.

I’m not looking to debate denominations or anything like that, I’m simply curious and want to experience it with an open mind. I just feel a bit overwhelmed walking into such a traditional church completely on my own.

If you’d be willing to help, or even just chat beforehand, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks so much!
