Getting around
Transit cards, transfers, intercity trains, what to do when the app is only in Korean.
Launching 2026
Korea, explained.
Getting around, dealing with paperwork, ordering food, renting a place. Korean Friend writes down how these things actually work — carefully, and in your language.

What we write about
Not a list of attractions. The things you look up at 11pm because something did not work the way you expected.
Paperwork
Residence cards, phone plans, bank accounts, health insurance — the order things have to happen in.
Everyday life
Food you can actually order, seasonal events worth the trip, and the small customs nobody explains.
Fourteen languages
Every article is written in Korean first, by someone who lives with the subject, then rebuilt for each language — not machine-translated into it.
