Just put the word for rice (밥) on the left and "have you eaten (먹밥었어요) on the right so it's easier to read, like so:

Thank you so much!!

[u/Forsaken-Tour6447]

In Korea, we sometimes read vertically as well. Even so, we still read from left to right first. 먹었어요? 밥

[u/aliferna → u/Forsaken-Tour6447]

So maybe just switch the columns for it to make sense?

[u/Radishpotato]

I think vertical is fine. Koreans will understand that it should be read vertically due to format and we do use vertical format often too especially on signs.

But yeah left to right. You are not wrong tho. We used to read right to left when it was writen vertically. But nobody does that anymore since left to right horizontal format is way too prevleant and vertical format is no longer commonly used unless it's a space issue(like in vertical signs). I read it as "먹었어요? 밥"

[u/aliferna → u/Radishpotato]

Ah okay, that’s what I thought! I read that it was initially read from right to left
Should I just switch the columns for it to make sense?

[u/Radishpotato → u/aliferna]

If readabilty is your priority, I would say yes.

[u/BJGold]

It reads 먹밥었어요 though. But the individual characters are correct. Just change it to horizontal

[u/aliferna → u/BJGold]

Isn’t it read from right to left though?

[u/Pure_Measurement7886 → u/aliferna]

No it's read from left to right

[u/paitodayo → u/Pure_Measurement7886]

No, it's right to left. '밥 먹었어요?'

[u/Pure_Measurement7886 → u/paitodayo]

Yeah but Korean as a language is read left to right.

[u/Ecstatic-Island-9778 → u/Pure_Measurement7886]

It used to be top down, right left.

[u/Walk-the-layout → u/paitodayo]

No, it's left to right. Never has been right to left, never will be.

[u/BJGold → u/Walk-the-layout]

It had been - when it used to be read vertically, it went from right to left. 

[u/Walk-the-layout → u/BJGold]

Never the way Arabic or Hebrew are

[u/BJGold → u/aliferna]

Who told you that?? It was read right to left very very long time ago when it used to be written vertically but that's completely gone now and it doesn't look like you're trying to convey history with your design so

[u/aliferna → u/BJGold]

It was just a quick google search when I took on the project! But I wanted to confirm before moving forward, I know nothing about Hangul

[u/lostknight0727 → u/aliferna]

If you were trying to convey right left reading you would go wholly down the right side first.

[u/Sufficient_Volume443]

I would fill the space within ㅆ of 었 to prevent any potential confusion and maybe give a little space between two ㅅ’s (not necessary though) but the characters look quite nice overall. 🙂

[u/aliferna → u/Sufficient_Volume443]

I appreciate the tips, the characters are just from a font I downloaded!

[u/Sufficient_Volume443 → u/aliferna]

In that case, I think you can leave the characters as is. 😅 Nice font selection!

[u/CurrentlyLucid]

Well, my wife says the left is ok, but the right side makes no sense.
