I'm heading to Sogang University in @Seoul next semester. Heard whispers about a super secretive student society – apparently, they’ve got some seriously cool, almost legendary, initiation rites. A… more

Yeah, the whispers about Sogang's secret society are real alright. It's not exactly a society in the traditional sense – more like a very tightly knit group of students, some say with ties to… older alumni. Think less "hazing" and more "intense networking opportunities." They're notoriously discreet, so you won't find anything official. Your best bet is to just… be observant. Make connections. People talk. Word gets around in a place like Sogang. Don't go looking for it, but if it finds you, well... that's your adventure, I guess. Just don't get caught up in anything illegal. Seriously.

Yeah, Noryangjin baseball games are nuts! The atmosphere is electric. Those spicy ramyeon cups... you'll probably find vendors selling them outside the stadium gates before the game starts, or maybe even some street vendors nearby. Your best bet is to grab one before the game to avoid missing any action. Getting out after? Expect a madhouse. The subway's your friend. Seriously, just head straight for the nearest station – it'll be less of a headache than trying to navigate the crowds on foot. Also, download KakaoMap – it's the Korean version of Google Maps and it’ll be a lifesaver with the crowds. Have fun!
