Work with South of Seoul and connect with the International residents living in South Korea.
Our Mission Statement
We empower people and communities. We foster cultural understanding and sustainable relationships between international residents and the businesses they rely on.
The South of Seoul Bog Stats
The South of Seoul blog holds a somewhat unique position in Korea because we cater to international residents living in Korea or moving to Korea for work. Instead of focusing on solutions for tourists who may visit Korea once for 5-7 days, we focus on the 1.7 million international residents currently in South Korea.
The result of the South of Seoul’s localized Korean content means that 60% of 48,000 website visits per month come from within South Korea. Such statistics also imply that 60% of the South of Seoul website visitors are actively looking for businesses and support within Korea, specifically Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Therefore, a South of Seoul reader tends to be action based, using the information they find on our website in their daily lives.
The South of Seoul website traffic from outside of South Korea primarily occurs in the United States. Specifically in Washington, Texas, and Califonia in areas that host US Military.
South of Seoul readers visits South of Seoul directly to find information. Between 13-18% of South of Seoul traffic is direct traffic. This means that our community visits the South of Seoul direction for our information.
We Use Native Advertising
South of Seoul does not work with Google Ads or other large advertising platforms. Instead, our volunteers choose to focus on supporting businesses that exist in South Korea that support the majority of our reader’s and users’ lives.
