About

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here 👋

I’m Korean, and I started Hi Korea Hi to help English-speaking readers get a clearer, more useful picture of Korea — the cities worth visiting, the food worth trying, the skincare that’s actually worth your money, and the everyday things about life here that don’t always make it into guidebooks.

I know how frustrating it can be to search “things to do in Seoul” and get the same ten recycled listicles. My goal here is different: I dig through Korean sources, local reviews, and up-to-date info to put together guides that are actually accurate and actually useful — not just filler.

Here’s what you’ll find around here:

  • 🧳 Korea Travel — city guides and itineraries for places like Seoul, Busan, and Daegu, built for travelers, not just tourist checklists
  • 🍜 K-Food — recipes and dishes worth knowing, explained clearly
  • 💄 K-Beauty — honest picks from Korean drugstores like Olive Young and Daiso, so you know what’s actually worth buying
  • 🏙️ K-Culture & Life — everyday details about Korea that help things make more sense

I keep things updated and double-check details as much as I can, but if you ever spot something outdated or off, I’d genuinely love to know — just reach out through the Contact page.

Thanks for stopping by 🙌
