What is a Korean AI receptionist?
A Korean AI receptionist answers your business phone in Korean or English, so callers can ask a question, book an appointment or leave a message without waiting for a staff member.
Waboom AI's Korean receptionist is Minji, who speaks polite Korean with a standard Seoul accent. Call handling is set up around your business, with handover to your staff and booking through your own workflows. Built for businesses across New Zealand and Australia.

Your own AI receptionist is set up around your business: opening hours, services, bookings and how calls are passed to your staff.
Where Korean-language phone answering helps
When a Korean-speaking caller is answered in polite Korean, booking, asking a question or leaving a message is simpler for them and for your team.
Education and international students
Students and parents asking about courses, intakes, enrolment and English language classes. The receptionist answers the approved questions in Korean, takes contact details and books a call with your student adviser.
Beauty and skin clinics
Bookings, treatment times, prices and opening hours, handled in Korean while your team looks after the client in front of them.
Tourism and travel
Tour times, pick-up points, availability and booking changes for visitors calling in Korean, including outside office hours.
Real estate
Buyers, renters and investors asking about listings and open homes. The receptionist takes the property address and the caller's details and books a viewing or a callback.
Restaurants and hospitality
Table bookings, opening hours, approved menu questions and group enquiries during a busy service.
How we set up your Korean AI receptionist
Three steps. We do the heavy lifting.
Tell us about your callers
Which languages they speak, what they call about, and what a good call ends with: a booking, a message or a transfer.
We build and test it in Korean
Your greeting, hours, services and booking rules in English and Korean, tested on calls with your own names and places.
Go live on your number
Forward your existing number. Every call comes with a transcript and summary, and we keep improving it.
What makes Korean-language calls different?
Speaking Korean well on the phone takes more than translating English sentences.
A standard Seoul voice
Minji speaks with a standard Seoul accent, the form most Korean callers hear on national broadcasts. There is no regional voice, such as a Busan or Jeju accent. If many of your callers have a strong regional accent, we test with them before go-live.
Polite speech by default
Minji uses 존댓말, polite Korean, with every caller, and addresses customers respectfully, for example as 고객님. We can adjust the greeting and tone to suit your business, and the receptionist stays in polite speech throughout the call.
Phone numbers read back digit by digit
Korean phone numbers are said with Sino-Korean digits, with 공 for zero. In our tests some spoken digits were misheard, so the receptionist always reads the number back one digit at a time and asks the caller to confirm before saving it.
Names and English words
Korean names are said family name first, and many callers also use an English name. We set the receptionist to confirm which name goes on the booking. It is easiest to follow when each sentence stays in one language, so it confirms English street names and product names before saving them.
An example call in Korean
A caller books a skin treatment at a beauty clinic and the agent reads her number back digit by digit. Illustrative example, not a recording.

Korean AI receptionist: common questions
Which Korean accents does the AI receptionist speak?
One: Minji speaks Korean with a standard Seoul accent. There is no regional voice, such as a Busan or Jeju accent. Before go-live we run test calls with your own callers so you can hear how it handles their speech.
Can callers switch between English and Korean?
Yes. The receptionist switches to Korean when a caller asks for it or starts speaking Korean, and back to English the same way. It is easiest to follow when each sentence stays in one language, so it confirms key details before saving them.
Does it understand phone numbers spoken in Korean?
Yes, with a check. In our tests some Korean spoken digits, such as 공, 일 and 이, were misheard. So the receptionist always reads the number back digit by digit and asks the caller to confirm before saving it.
Does it use polite Korean?
Yes. It speaks 존댓말, polite Korean, with every caller by default. We can adjust the greeting and tone to fit your business.
Can I try a Korean demo now?
Yes. Talk to the Korean agent on this page, in your browser. Calls run for up to four minutes.
Can we keep our 1300 or 1800 number?
Yes. You keep your number and forward calls to the AI receptionist, all the time or only when you are busy, do not answer or are closed. A mobile number can forward the same way. You do not need a new number.
Can it transfer calls to our staff and send a summary?
Yes. It can put a caller through to a staff member's mobile when they need a person, and it sends a summary of every call to your team, with the transcript in your portal.
Can it give medical, legal or financial advice in Korean?
No. In regulated industries the agent handles admin only: bookings, opening hours, directions and messages. Anything that needs advice goes to your qualified staff.
Does a Korean receptionist cost more than English?
No. Korean calls are charged at the same per-minute rate as English, from 95c a minute down to 77c in New Zealand and 71c in Australia. Credit never expires and every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Where is call data stored?
Transcripts, call records, contact details and billing are stored in Sydney. The live audio, recording files, speech processing and the language model run offshore. We meet cross-border accountability requirements through documented arrangements with our voice infrastructure partner.
