WHAT IS MATCHA & OLIVE?
Matcha & Olive is a curated private community for globally-minded women living in Korea.
We're not just another expat group or business meetup. We're a career-driven platform connecting Korean professionals with global ambitions and international women committed to building in Seoul long-term.
Through curated events, practical workshops, and intentional gatherings, we create spaces where ambitious women can:
- Find real support
- Access practical resources
such as legal, tax, business, wellness
- Build meaningful connections
- Grow with purposeful career + personal development
We bridge the gap between Korean business culture and global markets.
Between ambition and sustainability. Between building a career and building a life.
This isn't networking.
This is community with intention.

F&Q
Q: Why August 20?
A: Half the year is gone and the list hasn't moved. This is the night you close it, before autumn arrives and it becomes a "next year" problem.
Q: What makes this different from other networking events?
A: Three things:
1. You leave with something actually finished, not just contacts
2. A private rooftop & lounge in Yeonnam, taken over just for us
3. A proper 4-course Korean traditional liquor tasting led by an expert, not a bar tab
Q: Do I have to bring work?
A: No, but you'll get more out of it if you do. Bring one thing you've been putting off: a filing, a contract, an email you can't seem to write. Or just come for the tasting and the room.
Q: What if I don't drink?
A: Let us know in the RSVP and we'll arrange a non-alcoholic alternative for the tasting.
Q: Will there be wifi and power for laptops?
A: Yes. The space is set up for it.
Q: I'm Korean, is this for me?
A: Absolutely. This is for Korean women with global ambitions AND international women committed to Seoul. Intentionally mixed.
Q: What's the dress code?
A: Comfortable chic. You're on a rooftop, but you're also opening your laptop, so dress for both.
Q: Can I bring someone?
A: Women only. If your +1 fits the profile (career-driven, ambitious, building in Seoul), she can RSVP separately, but seats are very limited so don't wait.
Q: What if I can't make it?
A: Email matchanolive@gmail.com. We'll refund or transfer your spot up until August 18. After that the venue and tasting are already paid for, so we can only transfer if we have a waitlist.
Half year is gone
