Explore Korea With Other Solo K-pop Fans

This is your invitation to come to Korea with me, Katy from Hallyu Doing, AND a bunch of new friends this September!


It’s been nearly 10 years since I last went to Korea - far too long! I’ve been wanting to go back but the thought of travelling solo again just didn’t feel right this time. I want to explore, fangirl, eat amazing food, take incredible photos and make incredible memories… with people who get it.

That’s why I’ve created the trip I’d always wished existed: A group trip to Korea specifically for solo travellers who don’t want to go alone.

And guess what? The trip is already confirmed with over 10 of us going - and there are still a few spots available!

So what’s so special about this trip?

Well - it’s a curated, friendship-first adventure through Seoul AND Busan, designed with K-culture lovers in mind.

When you join you aren’t just booking a trip - you’re joining a group of likeminded people who already share the same interests and goals as you.

We have a group chat (not just travel related - there’s a LOT of UK K-pop concert talk in there too 😂), people are booking flights together, some are making plans to stay longer after the trip (I’m currently looking at flying to Japan with two of the girlies for an ATEEZ concert 👀).

🗓️ What’s on the itinerary?

Think culture, cosy vibes, and content-worthy moments:

  • Hanbok fittings at Gyeongbokgung Palace

  • Four-cut photo shoots

  • Colourful cafes and street food at Gwangjang Market

  • Coffee at Busan’s oceanfront Waveon Café

  • Exploring Seoul and Busan with a local guide

  • Making bracelets, visiting temples, shopping, and more

And honestly one of the activities I’m most looking forward to - on the final night we’ll be having a group picnic at the Han River which will be all kinds of cute.

Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been to Korea before, this is your chance to experience it all with friends from day one.

I know how hard it can be to find the right way to travel—especially if your friends aren’t into the same things as you, or you don’t want to navigate Korea totally solo.

That’s why I created this. And I’d love to welcome you along.

If you’ve been thinking about it, now might be the time to follow that feeling.

If you have more questions, you can email me at hallyudoing@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram/X/TikTok.
