| I enjoy The Grand Narrative. Sociology with a focus on gender and advertising, plus some fun stuff like song lyrics. The author also translates a lot of Korean articles; nice reading some perspective from "the other side" regarding current social issues. |

You should check out the couple hundred blogs that all feature the authors: eating wiggling octupus, visiting the Noryangin Fish Market, riding the subway, or walking through Itaewon. In fact, that's all any blogger should cover. Make it so.  |
I've seen that one! Its name is like kimchisoul.com or something, right? |

But what about a list about the best hamburgers in Seoul? You should cover that at three times a year.
You should also have your sponsors outnumber your posts.
And above all else, never ever leave Seoul.
"Best" blog is relative, of course. A mundane blog about K-pop will have thirty times the readers as a good blog about any other topic.
For readers interested in the culture of native speaker English teachers and how they're imagined and portrayed, Gusts of Popular Feeling is the best in the business:

Other good ones about culture / news:
http://thegrandnarrative.com/
http://www.monster-island.net/
And an interesting travel(ish) one about Seoul:
