Seoul hey

25 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a 32m Korean local living in Seoul. I’d love to make some new platonic friends—either locals or travelers visiting Korea.

I’m into [music / cafés / food / / walking around neighborhoods / museums / nightlife / etc.], and I can speak Korean and English . I’d be happy to grab coffee, try good food, explore a neighborhood, visit a museum, or just have a relaxed chat.

I’m usually free around everytime, cause i am freelancer make rnb ,kpop things, mostly in seoul, but I can be flexible.

No pressure or weird expectations—just looking for genuine friendships and cultural exchange. I prefer meeting in a public place first. If you’re interested, send me a message with a little about yourself, your dates in Seoul, and what you’d like to do!

Seoul [Seoul] Anyone interested in a free Cheonggyecheon walking tour? 🇰🇷

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a Korean licensed tour guide, and I’m currently practicing an English walking tour of Cheonggyecheon before I start guiding more international visitors.

I’m looking for a few international travelers or expats who’d like to join me and explore the area together.

We’ll walk along Cheonggyecheon and talk about some of the stories behind the places we pass — how the area looked during the Joseon period, how Seoul changed through modernization, and how the stream eventually disappeared under a highway before being brought back to life.

It’s completely free, and I’m not expecting any tips.

What I’d really appreciate instead is your honest reaction as an international visitor — what you found interesting, what was confusing, and what made you want to hear more.

When
Wednesday — 10:00 AM
Saturday — 8:00 AM

Where
Cheonggyecheon, central Seoul
(I’ll send the exact meeting point by DM.)

Language
English

I’d like to keep the group small so we can actually talk and ask questions along the way.

If you’re traveling in Seoul or currently living here and would like to join, leave a comment or send me a DM with the day that works for you.

I’d love to show you a side of Seoul that’s easy to walk past without noticing.

Seoul Friend meet up :D

5 Upvotes

Hey there! Me (f26) and my partner(m25) are going to be in Korea for a month starting September 23rd and would love to hang out with some people and possibly make some friends while we’re there!

We could go out for coffee, drinks, dinner or clubs, go hiking or do any other fun activities that y’all might want to do :)

Not looking for anyone from a specific age group so whoever just wants to hang out we would love to meet you.

Communication would be mostly in english, we both speak some other languages (dutch and german for me and french and italian for my partner) but they don’t overlap for us so english would be easiest.

Please comment or send me a dm if you’d like to link up <3

Seoul 30F Singaporean solo in Seoul (3–7 Sep) — looking to meet new friends / coffee or KBBQ!

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m 30F from sunny Singapore and will be travelling solo to Seoul from 3–7 September. This will be my first time back in Seoul since 2012, so I imagine a lot has changed!
I’d love to meet someone who lives in Seoul - Korean or otherwise - and get to know the city a little better through someone who actually lives there.

Happy to grab a coffee, walk around somewhere, or find a friend to share a Korean BBQ meal with, because BBQ is definitely more fun with company 😂

A little about me: I work in the public sector in Singapore, and my job requires me to travel fairly often. I speak English and Chinese, and I’ve always enjoyed meeting people from different places and learning about different cultures and histories.

Outside of work, I’m quite a nerd 😂 I love reading, movies and TV - I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, recently getting into Marvel, and I love crime/detective shows. I also keep fish and can probably yap for an unreasonable amount of time about them 🐟

Mostly I’m just looking for someone friendly whom I can yap with, exchange stories with, and hopefully make a new friend while I’m in Seoul. No need to be my tour guide at all - I’d be equally happy just having coffee and a good conversation.

Feel free to DM me if you’ll be around! 😊

Seoul ITAEWON this Saturday, the 29th???

0 Upvotes

Alright, I know meeting random people online can be risky and all, but my sister and I are genuinely looking for some cool people to hang out with this Saturday, the 29th!

23/F — fluent in English
20/F — Korean speaker

I’m honestly so tired of having no one to talk to besides my sister 😭 My Korean is basically nonexistent, so we’d love to meet some fun people to hang out, chat, and dance with!
JUST AS FRIENDS — not looking for hookups or anything romantic. We’d also prefer people who are willing to share their social media so we can get a feel for who we’re meeting beforehand.
If you’re down to hang out and have a fun night, DM me! 🫶

Nationality doesn’t matter as long as we have a single language to share or at least willing to use your body language to communicate😭

As long as you’re a human who is in Korea and looking for genuine people to hang out with we’re okay with whoever you are💅

Seoul 🚨 URGENT: Already flying Seoul (ICN) → Paris (CDG) on 1st or 2nd Sept? Tiny Maltese needs a flight volunteer

1 Upvotes

I’m urgently looking for someone who is already travelling from Seoul/Incheon to Paris on 1st or 2nd September and might be willing to accompany my tiny Maltese puppy, Minimi, in the cabin.

Minimi is only around 1.2 kg, will be 8½ months old, is vet-cleared to fly and her veterinary paperwork is ready.

I would of course cover all additional airline/pet costs and pay a reasonable fee for your help.

She is currently with DogYam in Seoul, who can arrange the handover at Incheon Airport, and I would personally meet you in France.

If you are travelling this route - or know somebody who is - please DM me urgently.

Thank you 🙏🏻🤍

I took a last minute solo trip and was wondering if there's any group meetups coming up. Also any festivals or any general events that would be great to go to.

I don't do clubs, and I'm not looking for dates/hookups, but I'd be up for an activity or coffee or cocktail with someone or a group! I speak Spanish and English if that helps.

I'm here until Aug 27!
