K-Bias

Pick your bias and get their city as a full day. 99 fan spots across 54 cities, with buses from wherever you start and the day's weather on one screen.

One name is all it takes to plan a day in Korea.

Pick a K-pop artist, K-drama, or film, and K-Bias builds a one-day course through the city behind it: anchored on real fan spots, filled in with nearby sights, restaurants and cafes from the Korea Tourism Organization's open data.

■ Beyond the capital 64 of our 90 artists and titles are rooted outside Seoul. Gangneung, Gwangju, Gunsan, Tongyeong, Jeongseon: cities you've heard of but have never known how to reach, laid out as a day you can actually follow.

■ 99 fan spots The Jumunjin bus stop from the BTS album shoot. J-Hope's mural in Gwangju. Yeongjin Beach from Goblin. Every location was researched by hand.

■ A day with times on it What you're doing at what hour, and how many minutes to the next stop. See the whole route on a map. The order is optimized so you walk and ride as little as possible.

■ Including how to get there Pick where you are starting from and see intercity and express buses to that city: how many run daily, first and last departure, and the fare. The day's weather and crowd forecast sit right on the course.

■ Stamp it when you arrive Stand at a fan spot and you can stamp it. Each stamp makes a photocard of that place, ready to save or send to a friend.

■ Not feeling a stop? Swap it Every stop can be swapped for another, or you can reroll the whole course. Choose a half day (4–5 stops) or a full day (6–8 stops).

■ Saved courses work offline Open your saved plans with no connection, useful in the alleys where roaming gives up.

■ Wherever you start from We never assume you land at Incheon. Come in through Gimhae, Jeju or Daegu, or start from the city you are already in: your starting point can be any of 147 places nationwide.

■ 12 guides for a first trip Airport to city, transit cards, SIM, getting out to the regions, who to call when stuck (1330), how a birthday cafe works, going to a concert, buying merch, how to behave at a fan spot. They open with no internet connection.

■ Four cuts from your trip Put four photos into one card and share it. Making it and saving it happen entirely on this phone, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
