About Korearian

Hi, I'm Min — a Seoul local. Seoul local who helps first-time visitors get around Korea without the guesswork.

Friends visiting Korea always ask me the same questions: How do I get from the airport? Which T-money card do I need? What should I buy at Olive Young?Korearian is where I answer them properly, once, for everyone.

How I write every guide

• Answer first. Every guide starts with a Quick Answer you can read in 10 seconds.
• Checked, then dated. Prices, hours and routes are checked in person or against official sources, and each guide shows a "Last verified" date.
• My own photos. Wherever possible, photos are taken by me on location.
• Local tips. Every guide includes at least one thing you'd only know from living here.
• Honest recommendations. Some guides contain affiliate links. I only recommend things I would tell a friend to use. Read the disclosure.

Found something out of date?

Korea changes fast. If a price or route has changed, please let me know — I'll check and update the guide.
