About



안녕하세요! I’m Hangeulia ^-^💗


Welcome to Korea Unfolded by Hangeulia — a cozy little corner of the internet where I share different sides of Korea, one story at a time.

You’ll often find me exploring K-drama filming spots, sharing stories of delicious street food, and introducing quiet corners of Seoul that feel just like a scene from a drama ^^.

I created this blog to bring global fans of Netflix K-dramas, K-pop, and Korean culture a little closer to the places, flavors, and expressions that make Korea so special. Not only what appears on screen, but also the daily life, the small joys, and the language that we use every day.

Whether you're planning a trip, learning Korean, or captivated by K-Pop Demon Hunters like I am… you’ll always have a warm welcome here ^^.




💜 About the name “Hangeulia”


The name “Hangeulia (한글리아)” grew from 한글 (hangeul) and 리아 (lia) — a gentle touch that felt right for the warm, friendly way I wanted to share Korea. It also carries another layer: 리아 (lia) of 코리아 (Korea) — like your Korean friend, walking with you through this beautiful country, one story at a time ^^.


For me, “한글리아” is where language, culture, and warmth meet. From must-visit landmarks to hidden gems tucked away in quiet alleys, I’ll be unfolding not only the trendy spots in Seoul but also the charming corners scattered across Korea.




💜 On this blog, you’ll find:


  • Real-life locations from your favorite K-dramas
  • Easy Korean expressions to help you sound more local
  • Travel tips for first-timers (or repeat visitors!)
  • A sprinkle of Korean culture, language, K-pop, and heart💓

Let’s unfold Korea together — slowly, warmly, and with a little sparkle✨


With love,
한글리아 ^-^

  💜 How to Eat Hangang Ramyeon Like a Local Inspired by Our Unwritten Seoul 안녕하세요. I’m Hangeulia. ^-^💗 As promised in my last post, today we’re diving into the world of Hangang ramyeon   — yes, the very one Mi-ji and Ho-su  ate together in episode 2 of Our Unwritten Seoul . In Korea, when you go to the Han River, there’s this unspoken rule : You eat ramyeon.     We even call it Hangang ramyeon (한강라면) — it’s not just food, it’s part of the experience. These ramyeon cookers are ready to go   — just press and watch your noodle dream come true! ^^ And no, it’s not just cup noodles.  Thanks to a little machine called the electronic ramyeon cooker ,  you can enjoy hot, freshly boiled ramyeon outdoors — right by the river. (And yes... some people love it so much, they even buy one for their home. 2NE1’s Sandara has one! ^^ㅎㅎ) So last weekend, I visited the Han River  — and here’s how I, as a Korean, enjoy Hangang ramyeon the r...
