WeHome, a leading \uacf5\uc720\uc219\ubc15 platform in \ud55c\uad6d, has partnered with \ubd80\uc0b0\uad11\uc5ed\uc2dc and the \ubd80\uc0b0\uc2dc\ubbfc\ub2e8\uccb4\ud611\uc758\ud68c to launch 'K-POPSTAY Busan Seagull Nest.' This \ud2b9\ubcc4\ud55c homestay project aims to address \uc219\ubc15 \ubb38\uc81c for \uc804 \uc138\uacc4 ARMY (BTS fans) visiting Busan for upcoming concerts, offering them an immersive \ubb38\ud654 \uad50\ub958 \uacbd\ud5d8 by opening local residents' homes.<\/p>\n

Launching the 'Busan Seagull Nest' Project for Global ARMY<\/h2>\n

WeHome, in collaboration with \ubd80\uc0b0\uad11\uc5ed\uc2dc and the \ubd80\uc0b0\uc2dc\ubbfc\ub2e8\uccb4\ud611\uc758\ud68c, is introducing the 'Busan Seagull Nest' project as part of its \uc804 \uc138\uacc4 lifestyle sharing program, 'K-POPSTAY BUSAN.'

With hundreds of thousands of BTS fans anticipated to visit Busan, the city has historically faced \ubb38\uc81c of \uc219\ubc15\ub09c and \uac00\uaca9 \uae09\ub4f1 during \ub300\uaddc\ubaa8 \ud589\uc0ac and international events. To address this, \ubd80\uc0b0\uc2dc, local \uc9c0\uc5ed \uc2dc\ubbfc\ub2e8\uccb4, and WeHome have collaborated to introduce an innovative \uc219\ubc15 \ubaa8\ub378 based on \uc790\ubc1c\uc801\uc778 \ucc38\uc5ec. K-POPSTAY is designed to allow \uc804 \uc138\uacc4 fans to stay with local residents and \uacbd\ud5d8 authentic \ud55c\uad6d \uc77c\uc0c1, fostering meaningful \uad6d\uc81c \ubb38\ud654 \uad50\ub958 beyond \uc804\ud1b5\uc801\uc778 \uad00\uad11.<\/p>\n

A Shared Economy Model Connecting Local Community and Visitors<\/h2>\n

'Busan Seagull Nest' is a homestay program where \ubd80\uc0b0 \uc2dc\ubbfc voluntarily open their homes or \uc5ec\uc720 \uacf5\uac04 to \ud574\uc678 \ubc29\ubb38\uac1d. This initiative offers \ud574\uc678 \uc5ec\ud589\uac1d an authentic local \uc219\ubc15 \uacbd\ud5d8, often free of charge, while \uc81c\uacf5ing \ubd80\uc0b0 \uc2dc\ubbfc with the \uae30\ud68c to meet and interact with \ubc29\ubb38\uac1d from \uc804 \uc138\uacc4. The project is anticipated to serve as a \ubb38\ud654 \uad50\ub958 platform, extending beyond mere \uc219\ubc15.<\/p>\n

As the operating partner, WeHome is responsible for \ud50c\ub7ab\ud3fc \uad00\ub9ac the dedicated K-POPSTAY BUSAN platform, facilitating host-guest matching, handling \uc608\uc57d and \uacb0\uc81c \uc2dc\uc2a4\ud15c, providing \ub2e4\uad6d\uc5b4 \uace0\uac1d \uc9c0\uc6d0, arranging \ucc45\uc784 \ubcf4\ud5d8, and distributing welcome kits to \ucc38\uac00\uc790. The platform will also implement \uc548\uc804 \uc870\uce58 and \uace0\uac1d \uc9c0\uc6d0 \uc11c\ube44\uc2a4 to ensure a \uc548\uc804\ud55c and comfortable \uacbd\ud5d8 for \ud574\uc678 \ubc29\ubb38\uac1d. WeHome views the \uacf5\uc720\uacbd\uc81c as a \uac1c\ub150 extending beyond just \uc219\ubc15, believing it can solve \uc0ac\ud68c\uc801 \ubb38\uc81c by connecting underutilized \uc790\uc6d0 with those who need them, thereby creating value for both \uc9c0\uc5ed\uc0ac\ud68c and \uc5ec\ud589\uac1d.<\/p>\n

WeHome's Vision and the Expansion of K-Lifestyle<\/h2>\n

The 'Busan Seagull Nest' project exemplifies WeHome's \ubaa9\ud45c to tackle \ubc18\ubcf5\ub418\ub294 \uc219\ubc15\ub09c and \uac00\uaca9 \uc778\uc0c1 during \ub300\uaddc\ubaa8 \ud589\uc0ac through \uc9c0\uc5ed\uc0ac\ud68c \ucc38\uc5ec and \uc790\uc6d0 \uacf5\uc720. This initiative benefits \ubd80\uc0b0 \uc2dc\ubbfc by welcoming \ubc29\ubb38\uac1d, \uc5ec\ud589\uac1d by offering a \uc548\uc804\ud55c and \ud569\ub9ac\uc801\uc778 \uac00\uaca9 way to \uacbd\ud5d8 Busan, and the \uc9c0\uc5ed \uacbd\uc81c through increased \uad00\uad11 \uc9c0\ucd9c and \uad6d\uc81c \ubb38\ud654 \uad50\ub958. WeHome's \ube0c\ub79c\ub4dc \ucca0\ud559, 'Live Locally. Stay Safely,' aims to combine \uc9c4\uc815\ud55c local \uc0dd\ud65c \uacbd\ud5d8 with \uc548\uc804\ud55c, trustworthy \uacf5\uc720\uc219\ubc15, and 'Busan Seagull Nest' serves as a clear demonstration of this \ubaa9\ud45c.<\/p>\n

WeHome is notably the only \uc815\ubd80 \uc2b9\uc778 \uacf5\uc720\uc219\ubc15 \ud50c\ub7ab\ud3fc in \ud55c\uad6d, having received \uc2e4\uc99d \ud2b9\ub840 after six years under the \uacfc\ud559\uae30\uc220\uc815\ubcf4\ud1b5\uc2e0\ubd80 ICT regulatory sandbox program. This \uae30\ubc18 has allowed WeHome to build a trustworthy and \ud569\ubc95\uc801\uc778 \uacf5\uc720\uc219\ubc15 \uc0dd\ud0dc\uacc4. Jo San-gu, CEO of WeHome, stated, 'The \uacf5\uc720\uacbd\uc81c \uad81\uadf9\uc801\uc73c\ub85c solves real \ubb38\uc81c by connecting underutilized \uc790\uc6d0.' He emphasized that 'Busan Seagull Nest' is more than just an \uc219\ubc15 project; it represents a new \uacf5\uc720\uacbd\uc81c \ubaa8\ub378 that addresses \uc219\ubc15\ub09c through \uc2dc\ubbfc \ucc38\uc5ec while connecting \uc804 \uc138\uacc4 ARMY with \ud604\uc9c0 \uc8fc\ubbfc.<\/p>\n

He further added, 'K-POPSTAY is designed for \ucc38\uac00\uc790 to \uacbd\ud5d8 the people, \ubb38\ud654, and \uc77c\uc0c1 of \ud55c\uad6d, extending beyond just attending concerts.' Under its \ucca0\ud559 of 'Live Locally. Stay Safely,' WeHome is committed to \uc9c0\uc18d\uc801\uc73c\ub85c creating new \uae30\ud68c for the \ud55c\uad6d \uad00\uad11 \uc0b0\uc5c5 through \uc548\uc804\ud55c \uacf5\uc720\uc219\ubc15 and K-lifestyle \uacf5\uc720 \uacbd\ud5d8. Looking ahead, WeHome plans to \ud655\uc7a5 its \ud50c\ub7ab\ud3fc beyond \uc219\ubc15 to encompass various K-lifestyle \uc11c\ube44\uc2a4, including \uad50\ud1b5, shopping, and general \uad00\uad11 \uacbd\ud5d8.<\/p>\n
