International Voter Drive 2026, for dual U.S.-Korean citizens and other U.S. citizens in South Korea

Hi- I'd like to make an announcement from Democrats Abroad, the official overseas branch of the U.S.-based Democratic Party with a chapter in South Korea. Since an extremely important election is coming in November, we're hoping to register more dual U.S.-Korean citizens and other eligible U.S. voters who live in South Korea.

We started our International Voter Registration Drive for 2026 with in-person and online events. If you know any eligible US citizens, they can register and request a ballot. Just send them this link: https://voteabroad.org/RedditVote26. As long as they'll turn 18 by election day, they're eligible.

If anyone wishes to learn more about what we're doing near you, you can find out more at https://www.democratsabroad.org/kr. We have regular in-person meetups and events online. If you have any questions about overseas voting or what we do, feel free to ask in the comments below.

Gangwon & Jeju Speakers?

I am working on a research project where we are tasked to study aspects of the Jeju and Gangwon dialect.

I didn’t think it would be hard to find a speaker, but the more I dig, the more I realize I might’ve bit off more than I can chew.

Am I cooked? Is there hope? My question is how common are these dialects and where would be my best bet to find someone willing to speak it?

What food would you recommend trying at department stores in Seoul?

Seoul department stores have so many different food options that it’s hard to choose.

I recently tried this abalone and cockle bibimbap and really enjoyed it.

What other foods at Seoul department stores would you recommend trying? I’d love to know what you always get or think is worth trying!

Am I making a right choice? 😭

I’ve received fully funded fellowship at hanyang university and I don’t even have TOPIK 1. We were told that the classes for this specific scholarship students - the first semester is going to be taught entirely in Korean.

Basically it’s structured - 3.5 months of major related courses + 2.5 months of Korean language training every semester and TOPIK L4 is the graduation requirement.

Do you think I’ll be able to handle it? My major is going to be in AI.

I’ve heard people - since it’s engineering related field, most terms are going to be in English and graduate level schools wouldn’t have many exams but more assignments and projects and can be coded and submitted. But I really don’t know if I’m making a right choice. I’ve my flight next week.

120 Dasan Helpline is a useless circus : Hang ups , excuses over a week “busy English line”

Got my ARC got a local SIM and immediately hit the classic Korean IT wall: my phone number previously belonged to “USER X”⁠.
Now T money GO refuses to let me link my Climate Card for bikes because it insists I am “USER X”⁠ and demands I sign into their account. I can’t reset the password or verify because shocker I don't have access to a stranger's identity details.
When I called the 120 English helpline for help option 9 landed me with a Chinese speaker who told me to wait 10 minutes followed by getting passed around and outright hung up on. Brilliant.

Anyone interested in Vacheron Constantine Event tomorrow?

Hi,

it's me again.

Thanks to everybody who showed the interest, we could have a great time at Cartier party🥳

Even could walk into celebs and models, ah😎

Anyway,

Another event coming up tomorrow; could take one person with me to Maison Vacheron Constantine at Cheongdam-dong.

It is not a party like previous events, more of a talk session - not so sophisticated but still requires Korean to fully understand and enjoy.

Or any watch lovers who doesn't give a f**k about Korean but just wanna enjoy the mood and some try-ons, feel free to message me.

Even anyone who doesn't care about watch but just wanna feel the luxury mood, welcome!

Event's at 3PM tomorrow.

See you😉

Looking for recommendations

I've just moved to Seoul from abroad and I have two weeks free until I start work.

Is there something you'd recommend doing (an activity, a place I should visit, etc.) while I still have some free time?
