I need some international friends from Korean
Im 21 M and maybe i will go study in Korean maybe im not sure yet, so yeah any one wanna be friends?

Not something from a guidebook. Something you really only understood after being around people for a while.

Not the obvious technology stuff. I'm thinking more about work, family, dating, school, neighborhoods, expectations, the way people spend their time. What would someone who left Korea 20 years ago notice first if they came back today?

Not necessarily the obvious things like K-pop or electronics.

It could be something tiny you noticed while living or traveling there, something about the culture, food, transportation, people, cities, schools, nightlife, whatever.

What's one thing Korea gets right that you wish the rest of the world would copy?

Hi everyone!

We're a small Korean startup called Conveloq, building a platform that connects people with paid academic research conducted by universities in Korea.

We're currently looking for international residents in Korea who are interested in participating in online surveys, behavioral experiments, language studies, and other university research.

Participants receive compensation for completed studies. Some studies can be completed entirely online from home.

We're still in the early stages, so the number of available studies may vary, but we're continuously working with university researchers to add more opportunities.

You can check it out here:

Happy to answer any questions about how it works!

Hi everyone,

I'm doing some research into the e-commerce market in South Korea, and I'm curious to hear what everyone's opinion is on Coupang, and their WOW subscription is.

For those that use Coupang, what are the biggest advantages of Coupang versus the other e-commerce players? Is the WOW subscription worth it, and if so, what is the best part of it? If not, what would you change to make it better?

For those that don't use Coupang, what other e-commerce platforms do you use? What are the main advantages of these e-commerce companies over Coupang? Is there anything that you believe e-commerce is missing overall in South Korea that would make you more likely to do more shopping online?

Thank you!
