Who is TingSsam? Korean Teacher, Host & Creator
👋 Hi, I'm Ting!
I'm a Korean language teacher, host of 6 guesthouses in Seoul,
and a content creator sharing Korean language and culture
on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
I love traveling — but not the typical kind.
Rather than rushing from place to place, I enjoy living like a local and experiencing culture from the inside.
That’s also the kind of experience I want to share with my students and guests:
not just “visiting Korea,” but truly living it.
🧑🏫 10 Years of Teaching Korean
My journey started simply from a love for communication.
Over the past decade, I’ve taught Korean for more than 8,000 hours online,
and have been a full-time teacher for 6 years — now among the top 0.5%.
Since 2023, I’ve been actively creating Korean learning content on YouTube and Instagram,
offering live classes, K-pop & drama-based lessons, memes, games, shadowing, and cultural discussions.
Teaching Korean makes me feel the most “me.”
It’s where I laugh, grow, and connect deeply with people around the world.
🏠 Hosting 6 Guesthouses in Seoul
I also hold a real estate license and currently operate a total of 6 guesthouses.
Among them, 4 have been listed on Airbnb since 2017.
All of my properties have ratings of 4.9 or higher, and I’m proud to be a Superhost.
The other 2 guesthouses, which are not listed on Airbnb, are managed independently by my team.
I’m not just a host — I’m a licensed real estate agent in Korea.
🧑💼 My dad has been in the real estate business for 40+ years
👩💼 I followed in his footsteps and got certified too
You're in professional and trusted hands.
We run our stays as a team — my mom, dad, husband, and me.
Since our home is just 5 minutes from the guesthouses,
our guests can always rely on us.
I started hosting because I love welcoming people from around the world.
💖 Hosting is more than business — it’s connection.
And I don’t do it alone.
My whole family helps — so you’ll feel the warmth of a real Korean home.
