How does a reading work from the U.S.?

Simple: you text the house on KakaoTalk (or SMS), send your name, birth date and time, and what you want to ask about. The consultation itself happens over a KakaoTalk voice call — free, no international charges, no travel to Korea. Consultations are conducted in Korean.

Korea is 13–16 hours ahead of U.S. time zones. Evening in the U.S. is morning in Korea — which happens to work out well for both sides.
