About wink

Most travelers in Korea find food through English search results, so they end up in the same handful of places. The real local picks live on Korean blogs.

wink picks posts from Korean bloggers, rewrites them in English and adds what you need on the ground: the Korean name to paste into a map app, the subway exit, and what to order.

Self-paid or hosted

Every pick says whether the blogger paid for the visit themselves (Self-paid) or visited as part of a review program (Hosted). Hosted picks still tell you who should skip the place.

Bloggers

Every pick is based on a post by a Korean blogger who agreed to share it here. Each page credits the original writer and links to the Korean post. Bloggers earn points when travelers visit.

Points

Check in with your receipt after a visit and earn points you can swap for coffee, convenience store vouchers and souvenirs.
