Get in touch연락처
One inbox for corrections, story ideas, partnerships, and reader questions. We read everything that comes through and aim to reply within two business days, Seoul time.
Story ideas
Found a place, custom, or quirk that nobody's written about for foreigners? Tell us. The best ideas come from readers who've actually been to Korea and noticed something the guidebooks missed — the unposted opening hours of a hanok bath, a neighborhood market that closes at 11 a.m., the small-town bus that doesn't show up on Naver Maps. We don't pay for ideas.
Corrections
If we got something wrong — a name, a price, a custom, a closing day — please flag it. Our articles are written with AI and are not reviewed by a person before publication, so reader reports matter. Factual corrections get a dated note at the end of the article. Include the URL of the article, the specific sentence or claim you think is incorrect, and a source if you have one (a Naver listing, an official notice, your own photograph with a timestamp). We will respond either with a fix and a thank-you or, if our original was right, with a short explanation of how we sourced it.
Partnerships & press
We're open to partnerships with travel brands, hanok stays, restaurants, and K-culture outlets that fit our editorial standards. We don't do paid placement inside articles. Sponsored content, when we run it, is labeled and structurally distinct (separate sections, clear "Sponsored" tags).
Press inquiries about Local Buddy (our sister product) can also reach us here, but we may forward them to the Local Buddy team and copy you on the response.
Reader questions
We try to answer specific reader questions about Korea travel when we have a useful answer. We're not a concierge service, but if your question helps clarify something we should have written about already, you'll often see it become a future article (with credit, if you're ok with that).
