### πΏ Welcome to Hapjeong Focus Club!
Do you sometimes struggle to stay focused when studying or working alone?
Join us at Hapjeong Tiramisu, a cozy and spacious cafΓ© in Seoul, where we gather to work on our own goals while enjoying the quiet motivation of being around others.
Our Korean name is Gakhalmo (κ°ν λͺ¨), short for Gakja Hal Il Haneun Moim, meaning "A Gathering Where Everyone Does Their Own Thing."
It's a relaxed, self-directed gathering where everyone brings something they want to accomplish.
No pressure to socialize, no group assignments, and no need to speak perfect English!

### π Introverts Are Especially Welcome!
Hi! I'm Miguel, your host.
I'm an introvert myself, so I understand that meeting new people can sometimes feel overwhelming.
That's why I created this group β a place where you can enjoy being around others without feeling pressured to talk or socialize.
You can simply focus on your work, enjoy the atmosphere, and connect with others naturally whenever you feel comfortable.
We welcome both Koreans and international participants!
### π± Let's Build a Friendly Local Community!
We plan to host these gatherings regularly on weekday afternoons and evenings.
While socializing isn't the main purpose, we hope that seeing familiar faces over time will naturally lead to new friendships.
Whether you're a student, freelancer, remote worker, creative person, or simply someone looking for a little extra motivation, you're welcome here.
Together in the same space, focused on our own goals.
Come as you are, work at your own pace, and maybe make a few neighborhood friends along the way!
β See you at Hapjeong Focus Club!
β Miguel, Your Host
