FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Not at all. We welcome people with zero experience in the house topic. The learning happens through doing it together — what matters most is your commitment and willingness to show up.
At partner venues in Seoul (currently Doukan and Hopin). Locations and links are shared in advance via Discord.
