─── Pain Point
Why We Decided To Build Our App?
- English (or other languages) support remains limited at government offices and many local businesses.
- Korean website provide more services and information compared to the English website.
- Helpful tips for foreigners are scattered across expat blogs, government websites, Facebook groups, social media platforms, and various apps.
- Information is rarely consolidated in one easy-to-navigate source.
Travel rules, store hours, halal certification, and even bus routes can change quickly, making some online information about services outdated or invalid.
Muslim, Kosher, vegetarian, vegan, and other special diets or allergies struggle to find easily verifiable options, especially outside major city centers.
