Built by students,
for students
ICOM started as one international student's frustration with how hard it was to find jobs, understand visas, and connect with other internationals in Korea. We're building the platform we wished existed.
The Story
When you arrive in Korea as an international student, nobody gives you a manual. You spend your first weeks figuring out how to open a bank account, which apps to download, how to get a T-money card, where to find part-time work that's compatible with your visa, and how to meet other people in the same situation.
ICOM was built to fix that. Starting at Jeonbuk National University (JBNU) in Jeonju, we're creating the definitive platform for international students in Korea — community, jobs, visa guidance, AI support, and everything in between.
Our goal is simple: make the first year in Korea feel like arriving somewhere you already know how things work.

Students First
Every feature we build starts with a real student problem. We don't add complexity for its own sake.
Radically Honest
We give real information, not marketing fluff. If something is hard, we say it's hard.
Community-Driven
The best answers come from students who've been through it. We amplify their knowledge.
Open & Inclusive
ICOM is for every international student, from every country, at every Korean university.
