Preparing Korean Word Game
Sorry for no posting so long.
Currently I am staying in the U.S. travel information for the app will be updated at the beginning of the July.
By the way, quite many people asked about how to improve their Korean on Shin's twitter.
As I know, there is one practical way : study :3
However, there still are many ways and tools to ease your Korean study. I guess easy word game will help you as well. Like, hangman(you might not agree but i think so). I played it every Friday when I was going the English school.
So now I am developing Hangman Korean version. Logical gaming part is already done. But designing every small pieces are always so burden. I wish there is someone who draw pictures for me, and have no job on daytime :$
Anyway, no matter how clumsy the game is, I will launch it by this weekend. So please do not remove the app and wait for me. I really love you all who visited here! <3

Mother Father Gentlemen!
After big hit of his previous sensational music video Gangnam Style, the Korean musician Psy released his new music video "Gentlemen" on Youtube yesterday. The music video is still fun and ridiculous as the last one. The music sounds a bit darker and has not much melody, like many musics for club. In the m/v he does many pranks to everyone, and for me, it reminds Nolbu in Korean traditional fable, Heungbu and Nolbu.
The new heroine of the M/V, Ga-In, is well-known singer in South Korea as a member of the k-pop girl group Brown Eyed Girls. She first became famous after the group's album [With L.O.V.E] made a success. At that time the title song L.O.V.E ranked No.1 on the most of the tv and online charts, and Ga-In's became famous for her stocking fashion and the smoky eye-line make-up style, which now widely shared among the Korean girl groups' styling. At that time she changed the color of her stocking every performances, and it gave her a weird nickname: Son-tocking - which is named after her last name Son and stocking. Check here to see it: http://goo.gl/ifcce
Also check the music as well!
As expected from many entertainment magazines(in South Korea), his new m/v was already viewed over 40 million times! Could it break the 1.5 billion views record of Gangnam Style? That would never be easy but this song is the one most possible candidate for the new record.
So what? Check it on your eyes!
I like the scenes at 0:07, 2:02. Like it.
Trivial of the Gentlemen:
- The white thing Psy is eating is Ga-rae-tteok[가래떡] which is a type of so called rice cake.
- The pelvic dance is borrowed from the Brown Eyed Girls' Abracadabra performance. Check the link!
- Many actors in the M/V are the members of the most famous Korean TV show "Infinite Challenge". If you see the scene a bit sudden in the M/V, then it would be them.
- At 2:35, you can see some part of his really wet.. It was from the show Infinite Challenge.
- The part he says "wet Psy" again, might be the parody or homage of the song Passion - Steve Yoo(who was really famous but kicked out from South Korea after his military service problem). You can check 1:35 he says "west side".

Fun Korean Drinks
I know your country has some drinks which I never tasted or heard. Cha Yen, Cendol, Lassi, eggnog, Bandung... What are them all?? I just saw those names on Internet right before.
I know I could never know what you drink at home. So I know you don't have a clue about what Koreans drink! Today is the time to introduce you fun Korean drinks which you can easily try when you visit South Korea! Here goes 4 drinks!!
*this is not about Korean traditional drinks but very unique drinks, which particularly I think tasty!
1. Banana Milk[바나나맛 우유]
I am sure this is quite far from the real banana plus milk thing, such as banana milkshake. HOWEVER, if you want to want to know about what Koreans drink when they are... not really thirsty but want to drink something sweet on the street, go to the convenience store next to you and get the Banana Milk!
This milk, which looks like large Korean jars, is sold 0.8 million bottles today! And yesterday, and tomorrow as well!! This is really untouchable bestseller in convenience stores.
Where to try? - You must be able to find it at any convenience store.
How much? - About $1 (1000 ~ 1300 KRW)
How to drink? - Drink with a straw. You can find cute yellow straw which is only for the Banana Milk(if you can't ask to a shop keeper)
2. Sikhye[식혜]
Sikhye is a traditional sweet Korean rice beverage, usually served as a dessert. This white translucent drink contains grains of cooked rice, and sometimes served with pine nuts. Koreans really likes to drink iced Sikhye when they finish washing at Jjimjilbang[찜질방] - Korean style public bathhouse.
This is very delicious if you are a Korean. But like many traditional drinks in your country, it depends on.
Where to try? - At any convenience store, you can find yellow can of 비락식혜(Birak Sikhye). Also you can try it after bathing at Jjimjilbang. They must sell it.
How much? - About $1(800 ~ 1000 KRW) for Birak Sikhye, 2000 KRW at JJimjilbang.
How to drink? - Stir or shake well, and drink with grains.
3. Denmark Morning Cereal Milk[덴마크 모닝 시리얼 우유]
In Korea, there is eatable power called Misutgaru[미숫가루], which is consist of various grain powders. And people mix this powder with water or milk with some sugar or honey, and drink it. Its really tasty specially in summer. Many Korean moms make and give the whole bowl of this Misutgaru drink with ice, for her husband when its very hot. Misutgaru drinks taste like, a bit similar to cereal with milk? Or watever.
And the Denmark Morning Cereal Milk, which is supposed to be a lot far from the any Korean thing by its name, is actually a Misutgaru milk product for the convenience stores! "Denmark Morning" is the name of the product series, so never expect the taste of Denmark.
Where to try? - Many convenience stores have it, but not all. Try visiting 2~3 stores and look up the drink section.
How much? - 1100 ~ 1500 KRW
Hot to drink? - Shake well before open, open, and drink.
4. McCol[맥콜]
Have you tried barely tea? OK, some of you. Then how about barely soda? I know you never tried! Here is McCol for you! Barely soda, barely coke. That's all!
McCol was really popular in early 90's, and now it feels like a bit old fashioned. But there are still McCol fanboys because of its unique taste.
However, some people hate this drink because of a religious reason. Yes, RELIGIOUS reason. What a drink!! For you who scares of drinking it, I should inform this : The company which makes McCol is owned by the Unification Church and some people hates it. This is all.
Where to try? - Some convenience stores. try searching 2~3 stores' drink section.
How much? - 600 ~ 1000 KRW
How to drink? - Drink
How was it? If you have the chance to visit South Korea, try all of them!! Those are really easy to get.
Also if there is any interesting drink in your country, please introduce here :) Thank you.

One Plus One is... Gwiyomi?
Everyone knows 1+1=2.
But these days, if you asked about what one plus one is to Korean, he/she probably answer like this:
- GWIYOMI
Gwiyomi is not a word in a dictionary. It is one of the wide spread Korean internet slang, which refers "a cute one". There is already a word for this meaning. However, the position of that word(귀염둥이[Gwi-yum-doong-i]) has been stolen by this Gwiyomi especially on the internet world. I guess that is because, Gwiyomi sounds more cute. Period.
And tooday, I'd like to introduce you one video(and one more), which is about the Gwiyomi Song phenomenon. Let's see this video first.
Few weeks ago, this cute girl recorded the video and upload it on her Facebook. Like many fun and weird videos, this Gwiyomi Song has been rapidly spread among Korean Facebook users. I would say, most of Korean active internet user knows about her and her video, particularly the guys! She is now referred as Facebook Gwiyomi Girl(페이스북 귀요미녀).
Then what is the next?
Who's the next Gwiyomi girl?!
From Seoul to Busan, girls who so called pretty(or so called courageous) has been challenging for the next Gwiyomi throne!
Click and look here what on earth is going on!
In this chaos, I found one special Gwiyomi video, which we can see the real human(!), feel the affection between the siblings.
Enjoy the Gwiyomi!

Korean Entertainment News 03/2013: Park Si-hoo
Korean actor Park Si-hoo, who is well known as Cha Seung-jo in drama Chungdamdong Alice, is having hard time with the rape suspicion charged against him. The police has been on investigation from 2 weeks ago but any conclusive result didn't come out yet. However, news about him is covering Korean Internet portals day by day, and today as well.
I picked one of the most clicked news on Naver(most popular Korean portal site) to introduce you an abstract of the article and some replies on it. I hope you know how Koreans think about this issue.
Park Si-hoo denied submitting cellphone... the accuser submitted - Yonhap News, 2013-03-07 04:51
The police asked to the accuser and the accused to submit their cell phones for the case of Park' Si-hoo's rape suspicion, but he denied sending his phone while the accuser presents hers.
(...)
His counsel said "Park is a celebrity. (For his privacy)We don't have any plan to send it. yet"
(...)
"Text or Kakao Talk message can be partially or fully recovered as it leaves the trace." The person concerned to the cyber terror department of the police said. "If we could gather those two phones, the possibility of recovery will increases more."

Until the judgement, seems at least 1 year goes more and whatever the result Park will be too old to restart, and A(accuser)'s debut has gone away... No one is the winner...

This article is assaulting Park,.. the thing reporter wanted to say is A is following the order of the police but Park and K are not because they are stinky, isn't it? feel like everything is driving him to the corner.
기사자체가 박시후까고있네 뭘..기자가 하고픈말은 A양은 경찰이 시키는대로 고분고분 다하는데 박시후랑 후배는 뭐가 구린건지 제출안했다고 그러는거잖아? 이러니까 모든게 박시후만 궁지로 몰아가는 느낌이 든다

By the way, while the investigation, is Park' privacy protected? The police seems not able to answer on this question. Whether he is a celebrity or not, this kind of privacy invasion is wrong. He could be innocent...
근데 지금까지 조사과정에서 박시후의 기본적인 사생활이 지켜졌는가? 라는 질문에 경찰이 제대로 대답할 수 있나 싶다. 박시후가 꼭 연예인이 아니더라도 이런 식으로 사생활을 침해시키는 건 옳지 못하다고 본다. 무죄일 수도 있는건데...
dalk**** 349/122
The reason delaying of investigation is because of the lawyer and the last agency
경찰조사를 미룰이유는 변호사와 전소속사 때문이라고 합니다
cvfy* 223/74
They did it in the room what are you talking about? K was in another room... if they did threesome Park could meet her with K but they tell the number to her? Telling the number means its not a rape or threesome. The Western Police Station seem to be only listening to the woman's saying. When are you investigating the counterclaim?
방안에서 했는데 뭔 소리냐? 후배는 다른 방에 있었는데....쓰리섬했으면 후배 통해서 계속 만나면 되는데 왜 전번 교환을 했겠냐? 전번 교환했다는 자체가 성폭행도 아니고 쓰리섬도 아니라는 거지. 서부는 여자쪽 말만 믿고 여자쪽이 제기한 의혹에만 귀를 기울이고 있는 듯하다. 맞고소 조사 언제 할래?

By the way, while the investigation, is Park' privacy protected? The police seems not able to answer on this question. Whether he is a celebrity or not, this kind of privacy invasion is wrong. He could be innocent...
근데 지금까지 조사과정에서 박시후의 기본적인 사생활이 지켜졌는가? 라는 질문에 경찰이 제대로 대답할 수 있나 싶다. 박시후가 꼭 연예인이 아니더라도 이런 식으로 사생활을 침해시키는 건 옳지 못하다고 본다. 무죄일 수도 있는건데...

The reason delaying of investigation is because of the lawyer and the last agency
경찰조사를 미룰이유는 변호사와 전소속사 때문이라고 합니다

They did it in the room what are you talking about? K was in another room... if they did threesome Park could meet her with K but they tell the number to her? Telling the number means its not a rape or threesome. The Western Police Station seem to be only listening to the woman's saying. When are you investigating the counterclaim?
방안에서 했는데 뭔 소리냐? 후배는 다른 방에 있었는데....쓰리섬했으면 후배 통해서 계속 만나면 되는데 왜 전번 교환을 했겠냐? 전번 교환했다는 자체가 성폭행도 아니고 쓰리섬도 아니라는 거지. 서부는 여자쪽 말만 믿고 여자쪽이 제기한 의혹에만 귀를 기울이고 있는 듯하다. 맞고소 조사 언제 할래?

Have you ever eaten Korean strawberries?
Have you ever eaten the Korean strawberry? Strawberry("딸기[ddal-gi]" in Korean) is one of the most delicious fruits that can be tasted in Korea! It is the mainly season of strawberry from January to May! Strawberry is very popular in South Korea because its flavor is very sweet and rich. So, I can say “Every Koreans love Strawberry :)” No doubt!
You can enjoy Korean strawberry even through cakes, pie and jam! But, it is better taste a strawberry to eat as it is just wash with running water. You can buy fresh strawberry for KRW 10,000 ($10) to 1 kg on any market or super market! Tips for selecting good strawberries are as follows: The stem shouldn't be dark or dry, choose the strawberries which are whole ripe red colored!
If you have a plan to visit Korea from January to May, please come to enjoy the delicious strawberries!

Souvenir from Korea
Are you going to buy presents for your family? Want to use less money but more "Korean" things? Here I suggest REAL Korean stuffs, some of which may sound weird but possibly upgrade your friends' quality of life!
1. Green tea
Like Japanese and Chinese, Koreans also make and consume green tea. If you were from western countries, I swear our green tea is much better & fresher than the green tea in your country. Why? Simply, we drinks more green tea so we make more! If you have time and money more than usual, visit Boseong for the best quality green tea!
Where to purchase? Just visit any grocery store or big mart. You can find a 25 tea bag box for $3, which will give 1 month morning calm to your friend!
2. Nail clipper
One South Korea company is making world best quality nail clipper(yes! which you use meet every week). It is funny to think of giving a nail clipper for a souvenir. However, it can be one of the most useful gift which can stay alive in your aunt's closet for a DECADE!!
Where to purchase? You can purchase one nail clipper for about $2~3 at any convenience store! Also cosmetic shops sell nail clippers set for $6~15.
3. Gim
Gim is a kind of sea weed. Koreans and Japaneses enjoy eating gim in various way. Koreans usually toasted dried gim with rice. Fresh gim is really healthy and tasty(depends on your taste). If it is your taste, you can also eat gim as snack with beer. Other countries never produce this food. Isn't it the perfect precondition for the souvenir?
Where to purchase? visit any grocery store or big mart. 16 pack(1 pack is for one meal with rice) is for about $8
4. Socks
Korean socks quality is, just gorgeous. You can never buy that quality socks for that price in any other country. Just buy it. You will never regret this. Also, If you loves k-pop, you can try Psy, Super Junior, SNSD... any k-pop stars on your feet!! You can do this: "Yoona, I choose you today!"
Where to buy? Any big mart(E-mart, Homeplus...) sells nice socks. However if you are looking for cheaper, more(lots of) character designed socks, try visiting big arcade markets. $1~3 is usual for each pair of socks.

Structure of Korean Names
Today I'd like to post about the shapes of Korean names. Very basic things for me and all Koreans but I am sure it will be interesting to you, who visited here!
Do you know any Korean? Probably PSY will be the best known Korean these days. However, that "PSY" word is definitely not a Korean name. So I would give another world-famous example. Rising star, the man of 2012, Pyongyang style Kim Jong Un(김정은)~!!
First let's check which part is the family name and the given name.
Can you guess what Kim Jong Un's family name is? Usually globally, given name first, family name last so Un is his family name right? Definitely not. If you remember his father's name(also world-famous or infamous) Kim Jong Il, then you will notice that "Un" is the only part changed from his father's name.
Then the answer came out! "Kim Jong" has not been changed so its their family name! No, went too far. Almost every(not all but 99%) Korean family name is consist of one Korean character(which usually is one English syllable). So in this case, Kim(김) is their family name.
Also almost every Korean given name(again, 99%) is consist of two Korean characters, 2 syllables. So "Jong Un" is his given name. We use family name first and given name last every time in Korea. Never use given name first.
But outside Korea, we usually follow westerner's rule, first name first. If you ever heard "Yu Na Kim"(figure skater) or Ji Sung Park(football player), or watched any sports game versus Korean team, they are probably using family name + given name style. Kim Jong Un is very rare case. His whole name has already been used as one specific word following his father's name.
There are one more thing happening by the translation from Korean to English. Koreans do not give spacing between characters of names(for example, "Lee Dong Hae" is written as 이동해, no spacing between first and last name). When somebody converting his/her name, for example 이동해 to English, he should choose which spacing type he will use.
At first, many Koreans used their given name without spacing, like "Donghae". However it confused people who do not know Korean naming. Probably he meant it to be read as "Dong Hae" but someone could think it as "Don Ghae". Someone possibly give a call to speak to Mr. Don Ghae.
So recently many Korean uses hyphen(-) between the 2 given name characters like this: Dong-hae. There is another type I used in this article, giving spacing between every single character of given name. However, as you have seen from the case of Kim Jung Un, it could result more confusing. Someone might find Mr. Un on phone.
I prefer and would suggest inserting hyphen between characters of given name. In this way, people can tell each Korean characters and are not confused as middle name.
