I'm travelling to South Korea next week as I feel like I'm missing something in my life and I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. I'm kind of a shy introvert who just going to explore and do some photography. I'm kind of curious about checking out the nightlife there even though I don't like clubbing much. Are the Koreans friendly to foreigners and what are the girls like? This is going to be my first solo travel.

kek
you're gonna be lonely

try near universities
and student focused clubs
meeting other foreigners is mostly Itaewon and Hongdae

but Korea is really hard mode regarding solo traveling!
koreans don't do "meeting strangers" - you typically get introduced over mutual friends

get on a few group tours, though it's gonna be mainly short term tourists

>going to explore and do some photography
that part will be great though
really easy to get around SK and lots of pretty spots to photograph

Your best bet if you are alone is to make a friend immediately with other travelers and go out with them to nightlife where people drink and mingle. Korea is very lonely otherwise, it takes effort to make friends and you have only a week, so you have to find other people hanging around, and then hope they aren't weird. Without speaking Korean will also hinder you, along with being a foreigner, and being male, this is who they don't really like. You'll end up in the playground with a bottle of soju with the other outsiders, but for a week you can make the best of it. On weekdays it's not as many people, just go around and try local food, hike up a mountain which is a great solo activity, look around the shops, maybe do a culture or language class. Try on hanbok.

Yep I bet the real reason you want to go is..
>what are the girls like?

Yep, you want to get some tight Korean snatch. Shocking. Good luck. East Asians are the most ruthless lookists and xenophobes

I don't mind being lonely desu. I'm autistic anyway and I'm fairly comfortable being on my own.
>>2782082
I'll check out language and culture tours. I've never thought about that before.
I was thinking of joining a group tour checking out haunted places in korea. Maybe I'll meet some weird goths.

Brother, South Korea is and has been swamped by Chads of all shapes and sizes. They are the most ruthless, darwinian culture is east Asia, possible the world. They catch onto and scrutinise even the smallest genetic shortcoming, mental or physical. Even other men will pounce on you like wolves to prove their status to the women. You're entering this world as an inexperienced, timid white boy.

since it seems u r a sex tourist i would reccomend japan for girls to treat u kinder.
if u need any further explanation as those in this thread have given u on how south korean women are... look no further than the fictional men they create compaired to japan.
japanese women are making awkward twinks have gay sex, south korean women are making 6'4 buff men with kpop boy faces and square jaws... there has never been a nation of women more fitting of the world view of the average incel.

With the average age in SK being 46 years, a young girl these days will be somewhere around 31 - but compared to a Western roastie hag she'll look 21.

If OP has a cute & symmetrical boy face, there's a pretty good chance he'll get lucky with middle-aged Asian ladies. If his visage is asymmetrical, then yeah he'll be treated like a non-person.

What is the best country out of South Korea, Japan, China, or Taiwan that is best to go to if you're a bit introverted/autistic?

I'll put you on some game OP. This is the best formula for getting eye candy or maybe attempting to drunkenly commingle with women.

>Go to Gangnam Station around 7-8 PM any day of the week, depart from exit #10 and go directly down the street

>you'll know you're at the intersection because there because there will be a bunch of restaurants and two very distinct twisted trees alongside some park benches at the end of the alley
>go into the 7/11 by those trees and grab two bottles of soju
>sit outside, drink your soju, and enjoy watching more beautiful 10/10 women out and about than you'll ever see again in any one place
>If you feel like chatting with foreigners, go to the Thursday Party right down the corner (this place is sort of like reddit if it were a club though)

Anon, dont listen to the rest. It you are non autistic you will have a great time.
For clubs: Waikiki paradise and la Bomba are both great. There are foreigners and the Koreans are interested in foreigners here in general. During my time there, I received more free alcohol than I spent money on alcohol. I forgot what your other questions were.

- ive been here for a while, and still for a while more, and more trips this year
- dreadful place for a first solo trip
- if you dont club now then why you think its going to be worth the bother here? do you really wanna look like a creep hanging around outside a club? lol >>2788828
- how old are you/ do you at least look young?
- you are gonna get cockblocked all the way in many subtle ways that you wont realise
- everyone here has an absolutely massive ego lmao

dont limit yourself to just korean girls. this is genuinely the only place in the world where AMWF and WMAF are balanced in numbers (im assuming im replying to a fellow white? actually this is a bad assumption since this place is full of...). there are lots of every kinds of girls who came here and didnt manage to find their jungook bf to pump and dump them and they end up desperate. my bumble was full of many such cases
actually if you go on bumble here there are probably more non-korean than korean. koreans use their own apps that they will cockblock you out of even using
generally the korean girls on bumble were all a waste of time anyway. they fell into 3 categories for me: 1 not-serious, 2 just wanted to practice english, 3 just got annoyed a while later when they find out you're not living there even though you already made it clear from the first sentence

I am also autistic and also did a solo trip to SK. It was the loneliest and most depressing two weeks of my life. I think the country is probably one of the most fun places on Earth to live in if you're a normal person and have friends, but for me it was excruciating. Hope you have more luck.

ํ† ์š”์ผํ† ์š”์ผ์€๊ฐ€์š”๋‹ค - Dont go here. The music will be korean trot. The seating will also be set up to go in groups of two.

Thursday party - Here is fine. More foreigners and Koreans who speak english.

With the whole sex tourism thing: South Korea seems to have much more women coming to meet men. I think there is a sense that Korean men are more valuable (?) if that makes sense. So the foreign men I see successful, typically are the tall good looking types that will be successful everywhere regardless of race.

It does not mean you wont find success, but if you dont put yourself out there, then it will be a lot harder.

I would suggest itaewon over hongdae, as there are more foreigners there and competition will be a loooooot easier to manage. There are girls who still go to meet foreign guys.

>>2788999
This guy is pretty much on the spot (I'm Korean btw). Every club will feel like the sweatiest ranked game you ever played (if you are a foreigner going for the prettier women). Ive seen some people who will purposely interrupt a conversation to cock block foreigners.

With the ego thing: The people considered losers will not be in the clubs in Korea. So itll be packed with your typical popular guy types. A lot will be dickheads. The shorter guys tend to me more fun and accepting.

>>2790032
Japan is a bit better for things like this,
Korea sucks in the fact the population is hyper focused on seoul. Therefore tourism is centered around seoul as well. Outside, other than busan, will be difficult for solo travelers to go around. Smaller towns will have near nothing to do. But to be fair, I might have bias being a Korean and all.

My advice overall: Learn a bit of Korean and pray you get lucky. Unless youre not ugly and short. Then just go have fun.

Gangnam does not accept foreigners. I think this also includes most places in sinsa and apgujeong (?) but im not sure as foreigners dont go there often (other than chinese).

Gangnam is also more for the table game. So unless youre looking to drop 1000 minimum then it not worth it. Honestly even with the table its not worth it.

You need a local SIM and a prepaid one wont work. I lived there for almost a year and was confused why its set up like that. Makes no sense. That was a few years ago, maybe its changed though.

I did some hiking, some trails had temples along them that were pretty cool. I hiked Jeju island mountain and that was nice but rained sideways when we got to the top, supposed to be a cool view.

If anyone is in Seoul from June 22-30 and wants to meet up for whatever hmu. I'm not a huge fan of clubs, but jazz bars are alright.
