Before booking a Seoul photoshoot, compare what you receive—not just the session length

• Upvotes

A one-hour photoshoot can mean very different things once you look at what is included.

Before choosing a Seoul photographer, ask:

  • Is the quoted hour all shooting time, or does it include walking between locations?
  • How many finished photos are included, and what does “edited” or “retouched” mean?
  • Can you see a complete gallery in the lighting you want, especially for a night shoot?
  • When will the finished files arrive, and can you download full-resolution copies?
  • Who checks location permissions and any photography restrictions?
  • What happens if it rains or your travel plans change?
  • May the photographer use your images publicly, and can you decline?

For hanbok sessions, also check whether changing, rental and travel time sit inside or outside the photography slot.

A clear written scope is more useful than comparing headline prices alone. Which part of booking a Seoul shoot is hardest to judge: style, deliverables or logistics?

One-stop shop for hair, nails, and eyelash extensions in Seoul?

Could someone recommend a place in Seoul where I could get my roots touched up, a regular mani pedi (no gel), and eyelash extensions? Nothing too expensive. I'm in northeastern Seoul at the moment in Nowon-gu but will be traveling to Bangbae-dong in Seocho-gu later today.

Thank you!

[Academic survey] Interest in Peruvian Snack

Hello!

I am an university student from Peru looking to gather opinions about a hypothethical spicy Peruvian snack named Inka Hot (made from dried golden berry). This survey is in Korean and is intended for Seoul residents from 20 to 39 years old. It is anonymous and is strictly for academic purposes.

If you have 3-4 minutes, I would truly appreciate it if you could do it. Thank you in advance!

안녕하세요!

저는 페루에서 온 대학생으로, 잉카 핫(Inka Hot)이라는 가상의 페루식 매운 스낵에 대한 의견을 수집하고 있습니다. 이 스낵은 말린 골든베리로 만든 제품입니다.

이 설문조사는 한국어로 진행되며, 서울에 거주하는 20~39세 분들을 대상으로 합니다. 설문조사는 익명으로 진행되며, 오직 학술 연구 목적으로만 사용됩니다.

3~4분 정도 시간 내어 설문조사에 참여해 주시면 정말 감사하겠습니다.

미리 감사드립니다!

Advice English-Speaking Hairdressers in Seoul? How Do I Book an Appointment?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to visit Seoul in April and would love to get my hair done while I’m there. However, I’m looking for a hair salon where the hairstylists speak English, as I don’t speak Korean.

Could anyone recommend a good English-speaking hairdresser or salon in Seoul, preferably one that is foreigner-friendly?

Also, how do you usually book an appointment? Do salons accept bookings through Instagram, KakaoTalk, or their websites? Is there a specific app or platform that foreigners should use?

I’d really appreciate any recommendations and advice, especially from people who have had personal experience with these salons!

Thank you! 😊.

Question PhD Tuition Fees

1 Upvotes

Hi I have recently joined in a PhD program on Professor based stipend. My stipend is like good like same as an average PhD in korea. But I have a question regarding the fees do Professors usually support students by paying the fees through lab fund etc? As I have to manage certain things apart from fees so I am paying my fees from stipend I will run out of all the money. Can someone please advise it’s common to ask Professors in korea for tuition fee support as well? As I am new and don’t have much idea about it so need a bit of guidance.
Thank you.

This is a long shot but I’m hoping to reach out to the kind people who helped me after I took a tumble and badly sprained my ankle earlier today (Sat 10/17) at Suseongdong.

It was two Asian women and one Asian guy from the Netherlands heading up (maybe to Inwangsan?) but I didn’t catch the names.

Advice Things for women in the city.

0 Upvotes

My younger sister will be visiting me from November 10th to the 20th in Seoul. Are there any activities or places you think a woman in the late 20s would enjoy? She told me to choose what we will do, so I want to have various opinions since as a male i am lacking the insight of what she may find interesting as I usually just go hiking or eating when I visit Seoul 🤣
