Korean Through Games: Hongsam (홍삼)

This game (like a lot of Korean games) is played with the same beat as the Frying Pan game (lap clap right thumb left thumb)

*see gif below*

Intro:

아싸 홍삼 에브리바디 홍삼! 🎵

아 lap 싸 clap 홍 right 삼 left 에브리 lap 바디 clap 홍 right 삼 left

아싸 | assa (general cheer)

홍삼 | red ginseng

에브리바디 | Korean pronunciation of everybody

Rules:

첫 번째로 시작한 사람은 “아싸~ 너! 너!” 라고 외치며 두 사람을 지목합니다

The first person to start yells, “Assa~ you! You!” and picks two people

지목을 당한 두 사람은 “아싸~ 너!”라고 외치며 각자 한 명씩 다른 사람을 선택합니다. 속도가 빠를수록 게임의 난이도는 높아지니 스피드를 점점 UP 시켜주세요~!

Those two chosen people yell, “Assa~ you!” and each choose a person. The faster the speed, the higher the level of difficulty, so slowly speed up how fast you go!

서로 다른 사람을 지목하다 두 사람이 한 사람을 동시에 지목했다면 지목 당한 사람이 “아싸~ 홍삼~!” 이라고 말하며 자신만의 제스처를 보여줍니다. 그럼 다른 사람들도 모두 함께 “에브리바디~ 홍삼~!” 이라고 외치며 제스처를 따라 해야 합니다.

If the two people both pick the same person, the chosen person has to say, “Assa hongsam!” while doing a gesture of their choosing. And everyone else has to follow by responding with “everybody hongsam!”

그리고 지목을 받은 사람이 다시 처음으로 돌아가 “아싸~ 너! 너!” 라고 외치며 두 명을 지목합니다. 

And the person who was chosen has to start over from the beginning with, “Assa~ you! You!” and pick two people.

*you lose by not responding/choosing someone after being pointed at. ( basically if you miss your turn, you lose)*

Loser usually has to drink or receive some type of punishment

Vocab:

외치다 | to yell/call out

지목하다 | to pick

선택하다 | to choose

따르다 | to follow

속도 | speed

난이도 | level of difficulty

if you think about it zoos are basically prisons for animals except the animals didn’t do anything illegal

[Tao and Elle on a date at the zoo]

Tao: So, what are they in for?

Elle: …This isn’t a prison?

Tao: So they can leave?!

Elle: Well, no, but—

Tao, pointing at a penguin: I bet that one killed somebody.

SEASON 2 COMES OUT AUGUST 3RD BABYYYYY

[pigeonviewing]

the first time i read iwbft i felt such a connection to it because like angel, i have also partaken in fandom culture of obsessing over celebrities i enjoy but as a trans guy with anxiety i also really feel for jimmy on a personal level because although i’m not in a public spotlight like he is, i’m in the same boat as him. truly an amazing book in my opinion.

[pigeonviewing]

these are actually so good i love them sm!!

as promised alice oseman novel posters!! (click on the images for better quality) tbh could probably write a hole essay about why and how i chose the different designs and like other stuff that went into thought anyways my fav. is the iwbft one :)

all books by @aliceoseman

[pigeonviewing]

where does one even acquire diet lemonade?

[pigeonviewing]

i don’t know much about religious stuff but the fact that the ark and angel are a religion reference of sorts made me think “alice you actual genius” because it works itself into the story line so well sjsksjsk

[pigeonviewing]

Words from a Shawol to Arohas,

I know how you’re feeling. You don’t feel like it’s real, it can’t be true, you’re reading articles and watching videos about any possible updates. But it’s true and you feel like the ground opened up to swallow you. The unthinkable has happened, and unfortunately it happened to your beloved Moonbin.

I am not too familiar with Astro or Moonbin, but my heart is with you, and I know your pain. I thought I would give you some advice on how to get through this difficult situation.

This is all meant with love.

1, try not to watch videos with clickbait titles about him. There will be, and already is a lot out there trying to capitalize on this news, only take information from reputable sources.

2, the clickbait videos never really end. They use your dear idol to get views by saying rude things or making infuriating thumbnails. Try your best to ignore it and report the video and the account.

3, don’t feel bad if you can’t bring yourself to watch any funeral footage if there is any. It will be painful to witness, and you don’t have to put yourself through that.

4, it’s okay not to want to listen to his music for a while. Take your time and be kind with yourself.

5, find a way to remember him, if you feel it’s appropriate. For me, Jonghyun’s music saved me in a hard time in my life and I plan to get a tattoo in his honor, but I have also named my cat after his last album, Poet|Artist (we call him Poe), and every new years day I listen to a special song of his to welcome the new year.

6, find fellow Arohas to talk to. They need you as much as you need them.

7, when you feel like you can handle it, find joy in the moments Moonbin left for you. Like dance practice bloopers, photos of him smiling.. remember him on the anniversary if his last day, but celebrate him on his birthday.

8, finally, reach out for help if you feel you need it. It may seem silly to mourn someone you never met, but it’s still a very real loss with very real pain.

I hope this advice can help you find a little peace. I am so sorry for your loss.

-A Shawol
