About HanBuddy
The team that makes “like a local” happen.
Small-group meetups in Seoul for the Korea locals actually enjoy. We plan it, run it, improve it. You just show up.
Why we started
Some of Korea’s best moments are locked behind “locals only.”
It started with a ticket we watched disappear: a Jamsil night game, sold out in seconds, on an app that wants a Korean phone number and a Korean card.
No Korean number, no Korean card, no ticket. HanBuddy unlocks those moments with a local buddy, all in English.
Run by us, every week.
-
We plan each activity ourselves
One real Korean moment, not a landmark checklist.
-
A real person confirms your details
No booking engine. We message you the meeting spot and everything you need.
-
Every run gets better
Every guest fills in a survey, and it changes the next run.
