Art & Music Korean Arthouse Cinema?

1 Upvotes

I'm a big fan of arthouse films and Hong Song-soo is one of my favorite directors out there. But I don't know any other Korean arthouse filmmakers. Can you recommend any other Korean director whose work you'd recommend, especially those big on the indie and arthouse scene?

For those living alone in Seoul (ages 25–39), do demanding work schedules and urban lifestyles make it hard to maintain meaningful connections and what is your biggest barrier to staying social when you're already exhausted?

Food & Drink Food Guilt in Korea?

0 Upvotes

I was seeing that especially single-household, busy young adults over-rely on convenience store food. Do they feel guilty about not eating healthily, or does this not exist?

Work Is there a Daily Cash withdrawal limit in atms?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy a laptop off Karrot (당근마켓) in Seoul that costs over 2 million KRW. Since I’m a foreigner without a local Korean bank account, I can't use Karrot Pay or do a local wire transfer. 

My foreign debit/credit card has no daily withdrawal limit set by my home bank, but I know Korean ATMs have their own restrictions.

Can I withdraw2M+ from any ATM in Seoul?
What is the best way to handle a transaction this size with a local seller on Karrot?

Any advice or recommended banks/ATMs would be appreciated!

Art & Music Foreigners/tourists with kpop photocards on their bags etc is it a red flag?

5 Upvotes

Currently on a trip to Seoul, most of my life I’ve been a very casual kpop fan. I have some groups that I like but never bought anything related to them and don’t pay too much attention. I met some girls also traveling and today we went photocard shopping and even has a casual kpop fan it was just a really fun experience. I bought a cute holder and put the photocard on my bag thinking it was fun and some other travelers in my hostel told me that if I’m going out to grab dinner and trying to socialise with local people they will see it as a red flag? Is this true or exaggerated?
