give it a bit more time, i know it sucks at first but theres a lot of expat groups here that are super active. if youre into sports the seoul foreigner rugby club in itaewon is always looking for new players, no experience needed and they go for drinks after practice tuesday and thursday nights. also check out the meetup app, theres a 20s and 30s seoul social group that does board game nights near gangnam station, entrance fee is like 5,000 won

honestly it takes a bit of time here, koreans are friendly but it's hard to break into existing friend groups. have you tried hongdae on a weekend? there's a bunch of foreigner-friendly bars near the main street, like the area around the hongdae playground. also check out the seoul global center in jongno, they run free korean classes and meetups for new arrivals, i met a few people there my first month

yeah it's rough at first tbh. if you're into hiking there's a bunch of facebook groups that do weekend trips up bukaksan or gwanaksan, super easy to tag along and grab soju after. also the seoul global cultural center in jongno has free language exchange nights every friday, way more chill than the bars
