You just moved to Seoul.
Knock knock.
Hi, we’re your neighbors.
Just neighbors
Not a formal organization or a tour agency. Just a group of friends from Sigwang Church who believe hospitality turns an unfamiliar city into a familiar home.
Open to everyone
Our core members are from church, but our events aren’t religious. People of every faith, background, and walk of life are warmly welcomed here.
No hidden agendas
We’ve lived far from home ourselves, so we haven’t forgotten how much a hospitable neighbor means. We just want to be those neighbors to you.
What we do
Things we’ve done together
We’re still figuring it out as we go, and that’s part of the fun. Here’s a taste of what you can expect.
Cultural Exchange
Seollal 2026Seollal 떡국 Party
We made dumplings together, shared a bowl of tteokguk, and played Yut Nori, celebrating Korean New Year with new friends.
Nature & Adventure
Winter 2026Night Hike to Gwanaksan
We laced up our shoes and headed up 관악산 after dark, Seoul sparkling below us and good company all around.
Language Exchange
Last Saturday of every monthSaturday Game Night
Practicing Korean and English over group games, laughs, and the occasional awkward grammar mistake. Everyone’s welcome, no fluency required.
Casual Hangouts
Every MondayMonday Night Dinners
After work we grab a table somewhere in the city, order too much food, and share a real meal together. It’s run 12+ times now, and there’s always room for one more.
Study Session
Wednesday afternoonsBring Your Laptop
Bring your laptop, your homework, or that Korean textbook you keep meaning to open. We meet at cafes around the city, study side by side, and wind down with snacks and conversation.
Field Trips
A few times a yearBeyond Seoul
We hop on a train together for day trips beyond the city, like Suwon’s fortress walls or a museum in Seoul, mixing history, culture, and good company.
Sports & Play
Every few weeksPickleball Sessions
We rent an indoor court, hand out paddles, and play doubles until everyone has lost at least once. No experience needed. Half of us learned the rules on the spot.
Board Games
Every few weeksBoard Game Cafe Nights
We take over a table at a board game cafe, order drinks, and work through the shelf: Uno, Halli Galli, Drawing Book, whatever someone grabs first. Easy to join even if you show up late.

From our neighbors
What people say
“When I first came to Korea I really struggled to speak the language because I was worried about making mistakes. KND gave me the space to try and I've become bolder and more confident in my speaking, even if I do still make mistakes. I am thankful for this community of people.”
Raychel
Chicago, USA
“I didn't expect to find a community like this, but KND made settling into Seoul feel so much easier and helped me meet a bunch of new friends through fun activities and delicious meals! Everyone was genuinely kind, welcoming, and so easy to talk to, and connections formed really organically. It's one of those spaces that quietly yet quickly makes a new city feel like home.”
Amy Izzati
Wellington, New Zealand
“It was 6 months since I moved to Seoul from Canada, and I was longing for a sense of community. I saw a lot of other group events but they were all paid or seemed out of reach. Took a chance at KND and although I'm not Christian I felt welcomed and I love the diversity of their meetups! Everyone is so kind and I met great people through KND.”
