Author: SEOUL Specialist

Born and raised in Korea, based in Seoul. I write Korea Visiting to help first-time visitors experience the country the way locals do — where to actually eat, when to visit so you skip the worst crowds, and how to get around without the guesswork. Every guide is written from a resident's perspective and checked against official sources.
