## What is Soolmate?

Samgyeopsal with soju. Chicken with beer. Kimchi jjigae with… what now?

Soolmate is the K-food × drink pairing guide built for K-pop, K-drama, and K-food fans worldwide. We score 612 combinations of 34 Korean dishes and 18 drinks (10 Korean classics + 8 global standards for comparison) so you can stop guessing and start ordering with confidence.

—— WHO IS THIS FOR ——

· K-pop and K-drama fans curious about what Koreans actually drink with their food
· Anyone walking into a Korean restaurant and wondering "what goes with this?"
· Travelers heading to Seoul who want to order like a local at a pojangmacha
· Hosts planning a K-BBQ night and unsure about the drink lineup

—— KEY FEATURES ——

[Food → Drink Recommendations]
Pick a Korean dish and see which drinks pair best, ranked by compatibility score (0–100). Samgyeopsal + soju is classic, but have you tried it with highball, makgeolli, or cheongju?

[Drink → Food Recommendations]
Already know what you're drinking? Find the best dishes to go with it. There's more to beer than chimaek.

[Pairing Rankings TOP 50]
See the highest-scoring pairings out of 612 combinations — including national classics like chimaek and surprising matches like Korean BBQ + IPA.

[Score-Backed Explanations]
Every pairing comes with a 0–100 compatibility score and a short reason — plain English, no sommelier jargon — explaining why the flavors work (or don't).

[Situation-Based Picks]
Recommendations tuned to the moment: solo drinking, work dinner, date night, camping, home drinking, celebration.

[Favorites + Roulette]
Save pairings you love. Can't decide? Spin the roulette.
