## What is 핫스팟?

Hotspot - Find Local Korea
Cafes, food, photo spots in Korea
Discover Korea's hidden hotspots — recommended by locals, not guidebooks.

Hotspot is a community app for finding and sharing the best places across Korea: cozy cafes, must-try restaurants, photo-worthy spots, and hidden gems in your neighborhood. Skip the tourist traps — see what real locals love.


Perfect for:
- Travelers visiting Korea who want authentic local picks
- Expats living in Korea looking for new favorites
- Anyone planning a Seoul, Busan, or Jeju trip
- Foodies and cafe hoppers
- Photo lovers searching for the perfect spot


What you can do:

[1] Explore by neighborhood
Browse hotspots across 70+ Korean districts — Gangnam, Hongdae, Seongsu, Itaewon, Haeundae, Jeju and more. Filter by area or just see what's nearby.

[2] Browse by category
Photo Spots, Cafes, Restaurants, Walks, Shopping, Night Views — find exactly the vibe you want.

[3] Map view and distance sort
See all spots pinned on a map, or sort by what's closest to you.

[4] Share what you find
Post up to 3 photos per spot with a quick note. Help fellow visitors find Korea's best.

[5] "I visited" verification
Verify spots you've actually been to. Once 5 or more people verify a spot, it gets a Truly Hot badge — a real recommendation from real visitors.

[6] Ask the locals
Post questions like "Best cafes in Busan?" and get answers from people who live there.

[7] 1:1 chat with posters
Reach out directly to the person who shared a spot. Real-time messaging.

[8] Levels and badges
Earn points by posting, getting likes, gaining followers. Level up from Newcomer to Hotspot Master.
