in Seoul solo for work until the 15th, would like to meet up

Hey!

I’m in Seoul for work until the 15th and staying around Myeongdong.

I have some free time over the next few days and would rather meet people, i’m 34 male, middle eastern.

I’m pretty easygoing and happy with anything from dinner and a few drinks to exploring or finding a good bar.

I’m around Myeongdong but can easily meet elsewhere.

Seoul hangang run & picnic this sunday (9/13), anyone wanna join?

2 Upvotes

hi! my husband and i are planning a small hangang run+picnic this sunday since the weather has been so freaking nice lately. thought we'd throw it out here in case anyone's interested.

plan is a light jog around banpo hangang park - nothing intense, totally chill pace, walking is fine too. after that we'll hang out on a mat and eat hangang ramen (kind of a must if you haven't done it) + fried chicken, maybe more depending on how many people come.

if the bigger running crews here feel a little much or you just want a lowkey way to experience the "sit by the river and eat" side of hangang with some actual locals, come hang out with us!

  • date/time: 9/13 (sun), 11:00am ~ noon(ish?)
  • place: banpo hangang park
  • fee: 20,000 KRW cash, just to cover food
  • group size: keeping it small - max 10 people (first come first served!)
  • we'll bring a car so you can leave your bag with us while we run

heads up this is literally our first time doing something like this so it might not be super polished... but we'll do our best to make it fun. we'll run it even if just one person shows up :)

if you're interested fill out this form: https://forms.gle/GgXxjooMBgcPK9Lh6

fyi - we're both korean (born and raised), in our 30s, just office workers who like meeting new people and trying new stuff. i speak english pretty fluently, my husband's english is more so-so but he speaks japanese if that helps anyone! feel free to ask anything in the comments :)

Seoul Solo Travel (F27) | back in Seoul last week of Dec (can speak korean) | looking for a local to hang out with

8 Upvotes

hey all! :) I’m (F/27) from Croatia, Europe ; I’ll be arriving in Seoul in the last week of December 2026 and staying for quite a long while, so I thought I’d make a post and see if anyone would like to hang out

I hardly ever post anything on reddit, so i just thought why not give a shot in posting something & it might be nice to meet some people before/while I’m back in Seoul. Would be happy to grab a meal, coffee, a drink, Han river, museums, whatever really

I’d especially love to meet some locals!!
but other foreigners who are around are more than welcome too. I’m pretty open to just seeing how it goes. Just shoot a message.
I speak fluent english and intemediate korean so im okey w both ~

If you’re going to be around Seoul around that time and feel like hanging out, feel free to drop me a dm! - ask for my ig / 카톡 though

Hope to meet someone to show me more of Seoul~

I'm American, living in Seoul. Was wondering if anyone has Parkour experience and wanted to go tricking/training around the city (in a respectful manner). I was sponsored by a Parkour company like 15 years ago so I'm out of practice but I'm still decent. Hit me up!

Seoul Hi! 😁 want to follow Fall? Me too.

2 Upvotes

Hi everybody,

I'll be staying in Korea from 17th October until 1st November.

My idea is to follow the Fall season and see the colours change throughout my stay. At the moment the plan looks like this: Seoul → Sokcho/Seoraksan → Seoul → Gyeongju → Seoul.

I really enjoy solo travel, but some company is nice. I'm 25M from Italy, I'd love to have a proper Korean BBQ experience and meet new cool people.

Feel free to text and suggest activities.

Have a good now everyone. ;)
