Seoul · 4 hours
An Evening in Korea
For someone whose days are booked and whose evenings are not.
6:30 PM – 10:30 PM · four hours, one neighbourhood
Three evenings. Pick the one that sounds like you.
Same shape every time — four hours, one neighbourhood, dinner you order yourself, and the hour where we actually talk. What changes is which Seoul you want: the loud one, the old one, or the quiet one.
This is the night I’d take a friend on if they landed at four in the afternoon and had one evening: a whole neighbourhood, done properly, and home by eleven.
Hongdae
홍대 · The Loud One
For a first night in Seoul, and for anyone who wants the version their friends back home will ask about.
A sample shape. Each day gets built around what you want to practise.
01
6:30
Warm-up
거리구경
Hongdae on foot. Street-wandering and a little shopping, to warm up and get your ear in before anyone expects you to say anything.
02
7:00
Food
Dinner
닭갈비 and 막걸리, at the kind of place locals actually eat rather than the one with the English sign. You order it. Don’t eat pork, don’t drink? Tell me and I’ll pick somewhere else.
03
8:00
Photos
인생네컷
The photo booths. Four frames, badly posed, and the strip is yours to take home. On me.
04
8:30
Karaoke
노래방
Where the night turns. On me. Not a singer? Say so when we book and we’ll spend the hour in the 오락실 arcade two doors down instead — same energy, no microphone.
05
9:30
Talk
Café
Coffee, and the part of the evening where we actually talk. A little Korean, and the questions about this country you haven’t been able to ask anyone.
06
10:10
Walk
술집거리
A last walk down the bar street with the city fully lit, and I put you on your train.
We meet in Hongdae. I’ll send the exact spot a few days before.
Included
The evening
- Your prep pack before you arrive — the phrases you’ll use that night, recorded in my own voice
- 인생네컷 and 노래방 — both covered by me
- Live coaching throughout — you order, you ask, I’m beside you
- Four hours, private — never a shared group with strangers
What you keep
- Film of the night, shot properly (Osmo and two mics, not a phone)
- Every photo and video, as original files — photos within 3 days, video within 14
- A small parting gift
Not in the fee
We each pay our own, as we go.
- Dinner and drinks — we each pay our own
- Transport
- Anything you buy for yourself
Most people spend ₩25,000–45,000 across the night — dinner, a drink, and getting around.
The fee is for the evening, not per head — each extra person adds $39. Up to 8.
Nothing is charged here. Tell me your dates and I’ll write back within a day. Once we’ve settled on the evening, I send a PayPal invoice for the amount above, and the day is yours.
