Our story
It started with questions we knew well.
PIN Agency began with three friends: two Koreans and one American. One of our founders lived in Korea for several years and experienced both the joy of discovering the country and the practical questions that come with settling in. These ranged from sorting recycling to navigating banking and online shopping. At the time, clear, practical information for international audiences could take some searching.
Our founders began talking about how to make Korea more accessible for visitors and foreign residents. Having lived or traveled abroad themselves, they understood how much a useful explanation or a welcoming conversation could mean. Sharing guides and tips became a way to help people feel better equipped to enjoy Korea. That same purpose shapes our work today.
Past projects · Guro, Seoul · 2024
Bringing people together in Guro
In 2024, we worked with local restaurants in Guro to put on a series of neighborhood events. A Korean culture festival included hanbok, traditional Korean clothing, for visitors to try on, along with performances. An international drinks event brought drinks and live entertainment to the street.
For Halloween, costumed performers took part in street activities around Guro. Across the events, visitors received vouchers to use at participating local restaurants.
Past projects · Shinan County

PIN placed among the top two of more than 150 applicants in a startup competition focused on tourism. We presented our ideas to Shinan County and worked with them on proposals to introduce the region to more visitors.
