About us
π°π· Experience Korea like a local, with a local buddy!
π Official site & booking: hanbuddy.kr
HanBuddy connects international students, residents, and travelers in Korea with local buddies. A buddy is a Korean local who hosts a small-group experience and goes with you.
We started with stadium nights: KBO baseball at Jamsil and Gocheok, K League and national team football at Seoul World Cup Stadium. Your buddy sorts out the tickets, explains the rules, and teaches you the cheering songs. More sports and local experiences are joining as the seasons change.
How it works: RSVP here to see the details, then book your spot on hanbuddy.kr through the link in each event.
What our guests said:
"It genuinely felt like spending time with friends rather than being a customer on a typical tour." (baseball night, September)
"The guide was nice and it was like being with friends." (football night, August)
Come solo or bring a friend, no Korean needed. π
