About

OMG Hostel is an original idea from Gene, a young korean doctor specialized in Oriental Medicine. His friends always told him he was "different" from other korean people. And it took him a lot of time to realize he was actually different.

"Thinking inside the box has always been a problem for me since I always thought outside" - Gene

After having taken a walk through Europe, South America and Asia, he now wants to bring the entire world to him by welcoming people in his hostel.

However OMG Hostel is not a typical hostel. Behind every decision we take is hidden a "master plan".

But what is this master plan exactly?

• We would like to create a micro-trading environment in Hongdae area for travelers. 

How would it work?

• When you travel and don't have lot of money, there is not a lot of viable solutions to make money or to simply have a place to sleep at night.
• Imagine if every sunday at the same location, you could meet travelers from all over the world carrying with them some authentic gifts from their country.
• Local people could buy you goods, exchange it or offer a place to stay.

What does OMG Hostel do now to make it happen?

• If you plan to go to OMG Hostel with a special gift from your country, contact us to see if we can host you in exchange for it.
• Yes, that's how it works here.
