Humans of Seoul is a blog I have been following before I started studying seriously! They focus on interviewing Koreans of all ages about various topics with both original Korean and English translations.
This is a perfect light resource to develop your reading skills. With a full range of ages, that means everyone can find a conversation to their depth or vocabulary level to practice with. Also, the range of topics means there will definitely be something to interest you and give you a perspective on Korean life and the people living there! From sports, books, hobbies, school, romance, work, parenting, childhood, health, and much more.
For an introduction, you can check out the “Best Interviews” section for an overview of their work. Or look at the stories section, which has collected interviews. Along with the site full of interviews, there is an additional Humans of Seoul Facebook page specifically focused on using it as a tool for Korean language learning! This page is infrequently updated (the last time currently being in 2021), but it is still a nice resource to look through.
The blog is completely free, but they also offer a book for purchase with 10 years’ worth of content in it.
