KoreabyMe is proud to announce the launch of our newest feature, Konnect. Konnect is an easy-to-use platform where people from all over the world who are living in Korea can connect with one another. You can ask questions, share information, and meet friends who share similar interests.
Konnect Networking
On Konnect you can find multiple different groups where you can find people who have come to Korea for the same reasons as you.
Professional Networking
Under the Workers group, you can speak with foreign professionals living and working in Korea. We have members who work in every field you could possibly imagine. We have members of the KoreabyMe network who work in programming, are teachers, own their own businesses, and even a few models and actors.
If you have any questions about working in Korea, or if you would like to expand your professional network, this is the place to do it!

Student Network
Many of KoreabyMe’s writers are international students studying in Korea. They live all over the country, both in the major cities and in the countryside. If you are planning to come to Korea and study, you can use Konnect to make friends before you even arrive.
Additionally, you can find out crucial information related to scholarships. With a little bit of help, you can actually come and study in Korea tuition-free!

Parent Network
If you are raising a child in Korea, it can be difficult to find reliable information. Not only is there a language barrier, but official guidelines are often unclear or not followed at all. The best way to get information is to ask other parents.
Plus, this is a great way to meet other foreign parents in Korea who are going through similar experiences. Everyone needs support sometimes, even parents!

Konnect with New Friends
Organize Gatherings
On Konnect, you can organize Gatherings. We noticed that a lot KoreabyMe’s readers and writers share the same hobbies. So many of you love cafe hopping, hiking, learning new languages, and visiting museums! You all should seriously get together and meet each other in person. I have no doubt you can meet some lifelong friends.

Sell Stuff
You can use Konnect to sell items and advertise, for free. Of course, you can use Craigslist to sell items in Korea. However, we all know how outdated that platform is and how much it lacks oversite. KoreabyMe is a community and we all know each other in one way or another. Plus, we do not tolerate any forms of discrimination.Konnect provides a safe space for you to trade and sell your items.

Posting on Konnect is a great way to get answers to your questions and share information. We have different groups related to different subjects that people frequently have questions about. Plus, if your answer isn’t answered in a timely manner, a member of the KoreabyMe staff will be sure to research and answer the question for you. We frequently review questions and answers to make sure that you get the most accurate information possible.
KoreabyMe Konnect has groups dedicated to the following for getting and sharing information:
