To the people who want to learn a language because of their favorite media but feel like it's a stupid reason, just go for it! Learning a language is a fun and useful skill that can come in handy when you least expect it, especially if you live in a diverse area.

Not to mention it can help you understand the media you're consuming on a deeper level. Interacting with the fanbase from that culture can help contextualize choices made in your favorite anime, video game, or kpop song.

Why did this japanese game portray europe like this? What problems in korea is this kpop song about? What is this festival in my favorite anime about?

What are the translations missing? What has been localized and why?

It's so incredibly rewarding to be able to understand different perspectives from different cultures. It's amazing to be able to communicate with people different from you. Learn whatever language your little heart desires. Go forth.

No cause one of the ..oddest things I did when their hand sizes were released was to measure mine to compare💀 I still have a hand kink lmao

Okay but now you know what it’d be like (kinda) if you were to hold his hand.

okay same like i remember grabbing a ruler to measure my pinky but somehow i couldnt believe my pinky was a lot longer than jimin’s BDEKJDWK so seeing the actual molds of their hands and comparing against them irl was actually pretty shocking… its also just the idea that theyre real people and not just pixels on my screen is what killed me in that moment LMAOOOO

however i wasnt that surprised by jungkook and yoongi because i knew they had large hands but i was SHOCKED that i have almost the exact same hand size as jin… like bro we are fr soulmates /parasocial HAHAHA

i was too shy to compare against everyone else bc there were like zero people in the store except the salespeople who were watching me like a hawk (i already knew about how korean salespeople tend to follow you around as a service culture thing but i was still vaguely nervous around them lol)

Excerpt from Flawless: Lessons in Looks and Culture from the K-Beauty Capital by Elise Hu (2023)

The K-beauty industry enjoys outsize influence and intensity. But it operates on the same ideas as the beauty industry writ large:

That your appearance is not good enough, and you should fix it.

That you can empower yourself if you spend energy and money to compete.

Korean women who partake of beauty culture are doing what it takes within a constant push-pull between the traditional values of filial piety and South Korea's hyper-modern neoliberal pull of individualism--trying to "win" a game of self-determination and growth. After the 1997 Asian financial crisis, South Korea's unemployment climbed to as high as 20 percent, and the government decreased spending in social services at the same time, leaving many Koreans to fend for themselves, piecing together part-time work, relying on family members, or just barely scraping by. Observers believe the precariousness of that time fostered neoliberal mandates to increase your own "human capital" in an endless competition for work and material success. As feminist scholar Cho Joo-hyun writes, "the most successful self-entrepreneurs will be those who faithfully internalize the neoliberal logic [of] subjugating themselves." This describes a kind of social Darwinism incited by market competition. "The idea of competition becomes the new norm of life in postwar capitalism," turning South Korea into a "neoliberal machine," according to Alex Taek-Gwang Lee, a cultural studies professor at Kung Hee University.

"In traditional society, a woman's body was completely controlled by male-centered society, especially because of the ideology of staying a virgin, which was a strict controlling tool of women's bodies. But now, lookism has replaced that ideology," wrote Kim Sang-hui, then the executive director of the country's largest feminist group, Womenlink, in a 2003 op-ed. She argued that appearance pressures exert a form of control over our bodies, but within a consumerist, can-do twist. "In a lookist society, it is not just about self-maintenance, it's that unbeautiful women are seen as lazy and incapable."

Koreans have a term for their work requirement: kkumim nodong, or "display labor"--their outsides must be embellished for display, and work must be undertaken to make women displayable. "It's the perfect sort of manifestation of neoliberalism," says Jenny Wang Medina. "You are laboring with your body and also consuming at the same time."

Let's check out some best Korean traditional food

Kimchi: The Heart and Soul of Korean Cuisine

It would be impossible to discuss Korean cuisine without discussing kimchi. This traditional Korean food has a history extending back more than 2,000 years to the Shilla Dynasty. People usually use cabbage or radishes for kimchi. All the ingredients are usually seasoned with salt, chili pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, and other herbs and spices. The end result is a dish that Koreans adore with every meal because it is sour, hot, and pungent. Due to its probiotic nature, kimchi is not only delicious but also has several health advantages.

Korean Fried Chicken: The Crispy Delight of Traditional Korean Food

Korean fried chicken recreates the classic American fast food in its own special way. Unlike its American equivalents, double-fry the chicken in vegetable oil before covering it in a sweet-spicy sauce. As a result, the inside of the meat is extremely moist. And the lightly battered skin is crispy and low in fat. Korean Fried Chicken is a famous late-night treat with beer.

Tteokbokki- Red Rice Cakes

Tteokbokki is a beloved traditional Korean food that has become a popular street food dish across the country. It features chewy rice cakes, known as tteok, cooked in a spicy sauce, creating a flavorful and satisfying meal. Tteokbokki is known for its unique combination of heat, sweetness, and umami flavors.
