I can't express enough how happy I felt speaking to everyone who attended the first ever Global Korean Diaspora Mixer this past January. Thank you to everyone who joined in especially those who had to stay up way past their bedtimes. I loved the range of topics we discussed, the diverse experiences people shared, and…
When I was in high school, my parents sent me and my sister to a summer camp in Korea which brought Korean teens from all over the world to experience life in and learn about their motherland. We attended lectures, ate a lot of good food, participated in cultural activities, and traveled domestically together. Nearly…
2022 is nearly over and as with every December, I am spending a lot of time reflecting and writing my resolutions for the coming year. Ever since the pandemic started and especially with the lockdowns, I've become very comfortable in my comfort zone doing only things that make me feel safe. And while I value…

A woman grills rice cakes called garaetteok (๊ฐ€๋ž˜๋–ก) over rocks in a traditional Korean market. Love the sound it makes. Took this video in Incheon early this year. #fluentkorean #traditionalmarket #koreanfood #asmr #ricecakes

Stumbled upon this bookstore in Nice this week. Was pleasantly surprised to find a relatively large section of contemporary East Asian literature translated into French. Added a bunch of Korean books to my reading list and I'm looking forward to reading them (in English or Korean), especially the three in this reel. Also, I looked…

While I appreciate the what-goes-around-comes-around sentiment of this proverb, the true cost of war is not shouldered by those who decide to wage it. Not by a long shot. ๐Ÿ•Š #fluentkorean #northkoreanproverb #nowar #peace #karma #koreanculture #koreanvocabulary #koreangrammar #koreanproverbs #koreansayings #koreanlanguage #์†๋‹ด
I think it's really cool that information on all of the presidential candidates are sent to every household that is eligible to vote.
