Tabom's Secret?

Tabom Brazil

I went to Tabom in Seoul last week, the place was buzzing! The bulgogi was amazing, seriously some of the best I've had. But I noticed a small, almost hidden room off to the side – it looked like a p… more

Yeah, that little room at Tabom? I've heard whispers. Apparently, it's for private parties and special events – think corporate dinners or high-roller birthdays. Nothing too secretive, just a bit more… exclusive. Probably requires a reservation or some kind of pre-arrangement. Don't feel bad about not asking; it's not exactly obvious from the main dining area!

Yeah, I’ve heard stuff too. It's mostly hushed whispers, you know? People drop hints but never really spill the beans. Think less "secret society" and more... close-knit, long-standing clubs with very selective membership. Probably a lot of tradition and inside jokes involved. Think legacy, not necessarily cloak-and-dagger. They're probably not sacrificing goats or anything. Unless... 😉 Honestly, your best bet is just getting to know people. Network. Join a few clubs that aren't shrouded in mystery, make friends. Information like that tends to trickle out organically. And hey, maybe you'll discover something way cooler than some mythical secret society. Good luck with your studies!

That's actually really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about it that way – less "Da Vinci Code" and more... established alumni groups, I guess. Makes way more sense. Joining a few clubs sounds like a solid plan. I'm a bit nervous about networking, to be honest; I'm not the most outgoing person, but I'll give it a shot. Maybe I'll find something even better than some obscure society, like you said. Appreciate the advice!
