Great help! I am organizing our trip for next after summer and your info are fantastic
Very informative content. Your videos are easy to watch and easy to understand. You are helping a lot of tourists! Keep it coming.
Thank you for answering my question about cultural experiences in Seoul. We really appreciate it and love you're videos. Keep it up!
I couldn't give too much information on that :(( but for sure I will keep on eye on it! 😎
Thank you for answering all the questions I submitted on Instagram. Your videos are very informative and easy to understand. You’ve really helped me a lot in preparing for my trip to Seoul. I can’t wait to go in two weeks! 🎉
Thank you so much for watching our videos! We are glad our videos helped ;)) Hope you have a wonderful trip in Korea! Let's beat the heat 🔥
You provide the most useful information about Korea. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming. Im also coming in August! Cant wait for the experience. Rain, sun, typhoon, whatever the weather..... im going to have a great time!
Yes! That's the spirit! ;))) Hope you have fun in Korea! Let's beat the heat 😎
i love your korea travel contents so much!!
한국분이시네요?! Thank you for loving our vidoes! 😁😁
You are a God send! I am traveling there for 2 weeks at the end of September and I am running around like a headless chicken figuring out everything T.T
Thank you for answering my question and correcting me, appreciate it 😊
Was your question about oppa? lol NP! It happens ;) Let me know if you get into a relationship! 😉
Hi May I know any shuttle bus from Gimhae Airport to Hotel? Thank you so much.
Ah, I love Puradak's garlic chicken!😊
Thank you very much! :)
Agree that Mokpo looks like a hidden gem. I stayed there overnight on the way back from Jeju and I would have liked to have stayed longer.
If you are going to/from Jeju, Mokpo is the shortest ferry trip to Jeju, and the KTX train from Seoul goes directly to Mokpo.
Yeah! I want to visit there too. ;) Maybe I should visit Mokpo soon and do a video 😆
Hi Yong! We love your channel!
We would be coming to Seoul in Dec, so excited! The thing is our arrival will be hours before we could finally check into our hotel. We are wondering if there is free public shower facility at Incheon airport Terminal 1 for non transit or non First/Business class passengers? Or could you please recommend us the nearest facility?
Thanks a bunch! 😊
Hi there :) Yeah August is probably not the best time to visit, but unfortunately that's the only month that fits our schedule for 2023 :(
Maybe you can do a series of where Koreans go for good food in various districts? I'm a foodie and I try to avoid many touristy places when it comes to food. I'm more interested in going to places where local eats, be it a restaurant or a hidden gem tuck in the alleyway, or some sorts :) Love all of your contents btw!
Thank you for your comment! It will be humid but still it will be fun to travel Korea 😎 Let's beat the heat ;)) Sure I will try to share restaurant info. I am currently thinking where to start 😉
Your efforts are very much appreciated especially when you have other busy responsibilities that take priority. 👍
EDIT: That chicken segment was so random, lol😆
Thank you so much for your comment! 🙏
LOL I'm so not ready for mukbang so I have just sneaked that segment in there ;))
Thank you for mentioning my question and sorry for my translation which may not be the best. I will come around 2 months in autumn in South Korea, I make baskets in France and I am interested in discovering all forms of traditional Korean crafts and especially those who make them. I found some addresses and places and thank you for taking the time to answer. Thanks for your videos!
No worries! I am sorry I couldn't give you information about that 😭 But I'm glad to hear that you have found some already. Let me know how it goes! 😎
I will be making my fifth trip to Korea in October. To save money, I usually stay in Airbnb's, where I am responsible for sorting my waste and recycling. Korea's system is very different from the one we have in Seattle, so it's confusing. I.e., in Seattle all food waste - including things like soiled pizza boxes - goes into a yard waste bin and is turned into soil. On the other hand, in Korea one can't include egg shells, chicken bones, citrus peel, because food waste is used for fodder.
Different Korean friends told me different things about handling plastic wrap on cheese slices or candy bars - throw away or wash and then put in recycling. One friend told me that if I wasn't sure, I should just put something in the trash. I want to be respectful of Korea's practices, but it's hard to find good information online that is in English. I also looked for UA-cam videos but couldn't find them. I realize that most tourists stay at hotels and don't need to worry about sorting their waste, which is handled by hotel staff...thus my request is for a niche audience - a video on how to handle trash. (For instance, I didn't learn till later that some Koreans put their food waste in the plastic bag and keep it in the freezer until they've collected enough to put the bag out to be collected.)
Sorry for the length of this message...I simply want to do what I can to help the environment...and thanks for your help!
This got me confused too as I was staying in Airbnb! Thank you for raising this request, hoping this channel could help us through 😁
In addition to Suwon, Chuncheon and Bukhansan National Park seem like good options for single day trips from Seoul. What do you think about those places?
Thanks!
Thank you for the comment!
Hi, I've been watching your videos and enjoyed all of it. May I ask, as a first time traveller going to Seoul in this early November, where can we get affordable choices of fall wear in Myeongdong or Itaewon areas? Name of shops please
hi may i know if there is direct transportation from Vivaldi park ski resort to Busan or Vivaldi to Jeju? Tks
Hello, your videos are very helpful!! Thank you very much, but I have a small doubt and I don't know if in a future video you will be able to explain this topic... a few days ago I learned about the wowpass card and there is not much information, could you explain a little about it? thank you!!!
Chat is a good idea!
Oh chat! Which chat do everyone use often??
@@yourkoreafriend Can you just make a post on a channel with open comments?
"Korea Transit Guide" is a Korean Transport app that is in English. It is on iPhone and iPad, sorry I don't know if it's on Android too. It is a little fiddly to figure out how it works, but when you do it gives you good travel options in English.
Thank you for sharing this information! ;))
The app doesn’t seem to be updated for 2 years, might be better to just use Naver directly instead
Greetings from Canada, we're heading to Seoul in three weeks and since there's no Navermap access from here, want to ask you about train route from Jungsan-dong/Jung-gu (where we are staying) to Gangnam. Is the train running 24 hours? Thank you
I'm going End Sept, is Chusok holiday in Korea. Do I have to buy KTX train ticket early? How much does it costs from Seoul to Busan?
Hello! Do I need a korean number to book a taxi using kakao taxi app?
We are going in a family trip to Seoul in early March with 2 kids, 3 and 13. What are the best place for families? Would you recommend renting a car for 8 people instead of tours? Thanks for the Q&A and chicken recommendation!
Hello! Some I can think of at the moments are amusement parks, aquarium, parks, museums! I will try to do a video about attractions for families to visit! If you have a big group, tour is a good option. But if you want something private, you can look into getting a personal van drive service instead of renting a car. I think it's around 400,000 won a day. :)
@@yourkoreafriend I’ll keep my eye out for the family video. Do you have recommendations for companies that offer personal driver service?
The one I know don't have any website info... If you want to make an inquiry, email here! loveloa00@gmail.com
Let them know how many people, how many days, and brief routes of your travel for quote. ;)
Can you use a T-Money card to pay for taxis and subway in Busan? I thought I saw a video on YT (not your channel) that said you need a special Busan ticket to use their subway. Thanks!!
Yes you can. :) I am not sure which video it was but maybe it was talking about a single ticket? Busan single ticket looks different than the ones in Seoul. I am not sure 😅
instead of a forum, maybe start up a discord server? sounds like a good way to start up a community discussion
Oh what is that? I haven't use it before. I should look into it ;)) Thanks!
Hi , is it good to go in seoul by end of november? ThAnks for your videos..
Yes! It's good to come in the time ;)
Hi, may i know is it ok to visit korea in July, i know it’s summer but whats the highest temperature it can go? Tq!
Hello! It can go up to 32ish. Watch my video about Summer! I went over tips about summer travel ;))
I three characters faces at end of your every video, I expect one among them is you (Yong), Who are Sohee and Kyungri?
Yes the guy from the video is Yong ;))
Sohee and Kyungri are also in our team! They help with research. Sohee was in the "Ways to Busan" video and Kyungrri was in "Offline meetup" video ;)
Hi, what are the authentic online portals for buying electronics? Is electronics cheap specifically Samsung phones in Korea? Also as a tourist, i m eligible for tax refunds?
For electronics, we use coupang or naver. But foreigners can't use those sites due to verification process. Samsung phones are actually not cheaper in Korea... Hope it is :(
You can find more info about tax refund in below website:

@@yourkoreafriend Thanks for your response, will check!!
Do you have a a local driver that I can rent, to drive a rent car in Jeju? Thank you for all excellent videos 🙂👍
I don't think there is a local driver you can hire because of car insurance and etc., but you can actually get a private Jeju Taxi Tour. I haven't tried it myself but maybe below website might help!

@@yourkoreafriend excellent! ty 🙂
