Navigate Life. Step By Step.
HowDoYou is a public-good platform that guides non-Koreans through complex administrative tasks in Korea, step-by-step, in clear, accessible language.
Infrastructure for Access
Digital Korea is advanced but not yet inclusive. We’re building the support layer that ensures everyone, regardless of language or background, can complete life-critical tasks confidently.
Actionable, Not Informational
Each action is a complete process: step-by-step, time-aware, and task-focused. No general explanations - just exactly what to do and how to do it.
Structured for Search, AI, and Users
Our actions are standardized, tagged, and designed to power smart search and AI assistants. This enables multilingual scaling - from web to chatbot to API.
Built for Trust, Not Traffic
We reject ad-driven content. One process = one provider = one path. Users get clarity, not noise. Providers earn placement by helping, not bidding.
Maintained Like Infrastructure
We track regulation changes, link updates, form revisions, and adapt. Content is reviewed regularly, like a civic system. Not just another blog.
A Simple System for Solving Complex Tasks
HowDoYou connects clear, human-written guidance with real-life action and introduces help when it makes the process easier.
1. Find the Process
Start with the question you're asking - like renewing a visa, registering your address, or opening a bank account. We’ll guide you through exactly what to do, step-by-step.
2. Follow the Steps
Our actions aren’t blogs - they’re real, structured walkthroughs. We explain what forms to fill out, where to go, what to bring, and what to expect, like a local walking you through it.
3. Get Help (If Needed)
If a step is hard to do alone, we show you a vetted provider who can help - no spam, no bidding. They’re included because they make things easier, not because they paid.
A Reality for Millions
For many foreign nationals in Korea, simple life admin tasks can become months-long challenges. Institutions don’t know how to fix it - but we do.
Call for Change

Invisible in Policy

Korea Times
Distress in the System
“Being unable to access care added to the pain of my symptoms and not being able to work.”
