Questions on Korean Culture/Lifestyle
Added 2023-04-16 14:00:03 +0000 UTCHi! This is Sarah & Grace, firstly thanks for all the love you're showing us for our first episode. We are SO happy you all seem to be enjoying it.
We are preparing for our next recording which will feature our first guest, who is Sarah's colleague in Seoul who took her around and was the recipient of a ton of questions and (probably unwanted) Drama questions.
What burning questions have you got for her? She's living in Seoul but originally from Busan. She doesn't watch KDrama so pls instead make them about generic Korean culture/lifestyle and we'll pick some to put to her!
Thanks,
Sarah and Grace

Great question, and I agree it could be a whole episode, Grace talks about this a little bit in the first episode of Afternoona Asks that you might find interesting (I sure did) and about how challenging it is to say "You" in Korean, hence the use of first-last names and/or titles.

2023-04-21 03:45:34 +0000 UTCI've thought of a question, this might be a whole episode. NAMES People seem to say names differently, is it according to closeness? (for eg in Camellia Yong Sik seems to be saying "Dongbae-shay" rather than the Dongbaek-y which everyone else says. Which words get lengthened with a y sound or an a sound For eg (Reply 1988) Taek-(y) or DoekSun-(a) Netflix always puts the name in but are they often saying something else like unni or oppa? Are there male and female names? How is the J sound pronounced, sometimes sounds different. What about something like Sin, is that pronounced with SH like shin? Anything generally on names and pronunciation I would love as I find them quite hard to remember.
