What is Awesome Build for Korea?

Awesome Build for Korea is Seoulstart's open-source list of the APIs, SDKs, MCP servers, and platforms developers use to build products for the Korean market: payments, identity verification, maps, address lookup, messaging, public data, and the compliance rules that trip teams up. It is written for builders shipping into Korea without a local entity, and for AI agents doing the same.

Each entry is annotated for a foreign or AI-assisted builder: what it does, when you need it, and the Korea-specific catch to watch for. The repo is open for contributions on GitHub.
