Your Busan
from the very first moment

I love the ocean and the frank and stubborn character of the local people. I enjoy riding yachts, visiting Gwangalli Beach, and exploring the best neighborhoods in Busan. I know many hidden photo spots from guiding numerous tours and can help you find the best places to shop, especially for cosmetics. I’m passionate about sharing everything that makes Busan special, from its stunning views and lively streets to local favorites you won’t find in guidebooks.

It’s a wonderful place to live or visit, whether you’re seeking intellectual inspiration or peaceful relaxation. I enjoy hiking in the city’s beautiful mountains, watching birds, and spending time in nature. I also like visiting the national museum and other museums to learn more about Busan’s fascinating past. Having lived in Busan and Pohang for many years, I know their neighborhoods and hidden gems very well. With my passion for Buddhism and hiking, I’m always happy to share the cultural and natural sides of this amazing city.

I love exploring Busan’s scenic viewpoints by the sea and mountains, discovering hidden gems, and trying new restaurants in every neighborhood. I know Haeundae, Gwangalli, Namgu, Jagalchi, Junggu, and beyond, as well as cities across Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, and Jeolla provinces. With a deep interest in Busan’s history, economy, food, and culture, I enjoy helping visitors uncover the most interesting neighborhoods, hidden spots, and authentic experiences, capturing the essence of Busan and its surrounding regions.

Having spent much of my life in Haeundae, I know its history and hidden spots very well, along with the charm of nearby neighborhoods like Gwangalli, Songjeong, and Songdo. I enjoy exploring beautiful places around Busan, having relaxed conversations with friends, and savoring good food and coffee while enjoying the sea view. I also have plenty of local knowledge about restaurants, cafés, and cultural spots that reflect Busan’s unique spirit.

From hiking the coastal trails of Hwangnyeongsan and Jangsan to exploring traditional markets like Jagalchi and Bupyeong, I enjoy showing guests how Busan’s landscape and food shape its character. I know Haeundae, Gamcheon Culture Village, and the BIFF Square area inside out, from scenic viewpoints to lively markets and cozy cafés. With years of experience guiding tours, I help visitors discover Busan’s history, heritage, and hidden gems, creating memorable experiences that capture the heart of this dynamic city.

I love Busan for its incredible local food and beautiful beaches, which conveniently justify both my long walks and my food hunts. You’ll often find me scouting old-school spots, trendy cafés, and pubs worth remembering, then walking it all off along the coast. I know Busan’s neighborhoods well and enjoy sharing stories behind its historical sites, must-see attractions, and the places locals actually eat and drink. Expect relaxed walks, honest recommendations, a few laughs, and possibly a strong opinion about where to eat next.

I love showing people the magic of Busan, where stunning nature meets a resilient, forward-looking city shaped by history, from the Russo-Japanese War to the Korean War. I’m passionate about exploring every corner of Busan, whether cycling along hidden streets, enjoying sunset at a seaside café, or witnessing the bustling life of Jagalchi Fish Market and the Busan Container Terminal. Riding the Sky Capsule is my top tip for breathtaking coastline views. As a keen observer of Busan’s people and history, I love sharing the vibrant culture, hardworking spirit, and stories that make this city truly unique.
