Description
The Crowd shows you how busy Seoul is right now — and, more usefully, how busy it is about to be.
WHAT YOU SEE
Live crowd levels for 121 places across the city, from Gangnam Station to Seongsu Cafe Street, sourced directly from Seoul Metropolitan Government's real-time city data. Updated every few minutes.
A 12-hour forecast for each area. Seongsu peaks at 3pm and eases by 8 — so go now, or go later. This is the part that actually changes your afternoon.
Live cafe and bakery activity, based on real card transactions in each district, compared against that same district's own average for this hour on this day of the week. Not an estimate. Actual spending, about fifteen minutes old.
Cafes near you on the map, with the ability to report what you see — quiet, moderate or crowded — for everyone arriving after you.
WHAT WE DON'T DO
We don't show a busyness percentage for individual cafes, because nobody publishes that data and we won't invent it. A cafe is marked only when a real person has reported it, and that report fades after 90 minutes. If nothing has been reported, the app says so.
Crowd levels are relative. Seoul rates each place against its own 28-day average, so "quiet" at Gangnam Station still means tens of thousands of people — it means quiet for Gangnam. We word it that way rather than pretending the number is absolute.
When you are outside our coverage, we tell you, instead of showing you data from somewhere else.
