    When someone asks you for your number, answer back by: " what is yours?" instead and write it in the "Notes" part of your phone, do not enter it in your contact. It is even better if you have a pen and paper and write their number on a piece of paper. Nothing wrong with being safe.

    i encountered one of those cults around Gwanghwamun area and they asked very specific questions about my personal background even when I made clear that i am a foreigner who speaks little Korean. They took me to a cafe and said that they wanted to have a chat with me, that's when I (finally) got suspicious and made up an excuse and escaped... horrible experience...

    Remember, SK prides themselves on r*pe culture
    So, don’t feel pressured or tempted to go anywhere with _anyone_ there you don’t really know! Stranger danger, damn it!

      That should apply to everyone everywhere not just Korea. Basically, don’t trust anyone that you don’t know well yet.

    Korea like other countries has its share of scammers. Easy to fall for when unfamiliar and only knowing the shiny images of K-pop and K drama. Great tips!

    about the cults: this happened to me around 2018 in hongdae, two young ladies approached me, we had a chat, and they took me to this traditional korean ceremony and we had a meal together with their community, after which they asked for a donation. however, I dont see at all how this was possibly a scam. in fact, it was a really nice and memorable experience, the community seemed nice and they even invited me back for another meal (for free) and we had long deep conversations afterwards. am i missing something?

    As an american, if i was in a foreign country, i will never go with or give out personal info to people i don’t know to begin with. I do this even in america. Because in america, most of us are taught “stranger danger” as children. So naturally most Americans don’t trust people they don’t know right away.

    In America I saw this a lot growing up. Got use it to the point where I could spot them just by looking at their body language / clothing. Especially in their voice; when they talk you can hear the BS coming out.

    Spy cameras are not normal things here and Gov is constantly searching for cameras in public toilet for years but still hasn't found one. Of course, there are some incidents relate to spy camera on the news. Just be careful, but you don't need to worry about it too much.
