Hello I’m going to Seoul in 2 weeks and having real trouble renting/borrowing a wheelchair. I’ve tried Wheelshare (https://wheelshare.kr/bbs/?act=member&subAct=login) but the website doesn’t load and I apparently need a Korean guarantor.
Seoul Danurim have not responded to my email.
Many thanks for any help!
