Links for July-Sept 2026

As usual, been sitting on this dump of links and forgot about it so going to quickly post them before I forget again. Seems like the main purpose of this blog now is just a dump of links I found interesting, but what do you want for 10 won anyway. 

The hard thing for me is that I always get ideas for showing how to do something after I'm 90% done. Case in point: I've started selling stuff on Bunjang again lately and thought about how some people in Korea might want to see how that process is done, the whole setting up your seller account and taking your items into GS to ship them. But the GS part is already covered in plenty of online tutorials and for the Bunjang part, I don't really want to go wipe my account and start from scratch so I can collect the screenshots along the way. That's how it goes all the time. I do something, then by the time it's nearly done I think crap, this could have been a blog post of interest to some newbies. But I'm not willing to go back and do it all again. 


So instead, just read some stuff that other people posted. 

For those who don't want to skin a huge list or click through to anything, here's a quick and dirty AI summary of the links list:

1. Technology & Digital Platforms

AI & Integration Shifts: 

South Korea's digital ecosystem is seeing rapid AI integration, with developments like public data APIs designed specifically for LLMs, GPT-6 Astra's local performance, and generative AI tools entering professional workflows. Meanwhile, competition is shifting as alternatives like Gemini challenge ChatGPT's local dominance.

App Ecosystem & Portal Evolutions: 

Major platform changes are underway. Naver is sunsetting Naver TV (migrating creators to Naver Clip) and phasing out older login methods like app-specific passwords, while integrating Apple Wallet and Naver Pay features for transit. Kakao continues to face generational migration—losing younger demographics to Instagram and Toss—while rolling out new features like running trackers and preparing paid subscription tiers.

2. Public Infrastructure, Transit, & Urban Life

Transit & Card System Updates: 

Seoul’s familiar 30-day "Climate Card" is making way for broader systems like the nationwide K-Pass and "Modu Card" integrations inside mobile T-Money. Concurrently, regional rail networks and high-speed services (such as KTX and SRT integration moves) are altering how citizens travel.

Extreme Weather & Urban Adaptation: 

Ongoing extreme summer heatwaves have visibly altered consumer habits—driving people away from outdoor scenic spots toward indoor air-conditioned spaces, prompting urban expansions of public street shade, and inspiring unique seasonal convenience items like chilled cold noodle soup at coffee chains.

3. Pop Culture, Entertainment, & Lifestyle Trends

Hallyu & Global Media: 

International interest in Korean culture remains high, marked by major events like Bruno Mars returning for stadium shows, localized global fast-food menu experiments (such as Injeolmi items at Tim Hortons and unique pepper burgers), and the global resurgence of older media like D-War climbing Netflix charts.

Micro-Trends & Everyday Quirks: 

Consumer culture reflects unique local phenomena, ranging from Gen Z picking up analog hobbies like hand-copying books ("Pilsa") and exploring pop-up stores (like Hazbin Hotel), to niche viral tips shared across community forums regarding local convenience store hacks, cheap protein options at Daiso, and quirky fast-food novelties.

4. Society, Economy, & Demographics

Social Pressures & Shifts: 

Shifting demographics and lifestyle attitudes are clearly visible, including declining neighborhood bar culture as younger generations cut back on alcohol, alongside structural efforts to address social isolation (such as fake offices for reclusive youth) and tighter regulations around consumer protection and fake news laws.

Commerce & Retail Dynamics: 

E-commerce heavyweights like Coupang navigate complex positioning between local operations and global branding, while traditional delivery and quick-commerce apps expand far beyond food delivery into apparel and immediate retail goods.
