You can now live the dream of having an oppa tour you around South Korea like you see in K-dramas, thanks to an online travel platform that lets you rent oppas — aka hot older men — for a few hours.
Oh My Oppa will let choose from seven different oppas to on tour dates with around Korea. They each have their own itineraries, customized according on their personality, profession and interests. Tourists, no need to worry about the language barrier — most of them speak English.
