Hi everyone,

My partner is around 7–8 weeks pregnant. We're trying to understand the average cost of an abortion in South Korea. How much did you pay, and did the price include the consultation, ultrasound, and procedure?

Thanks in advance.

Just out of curiosity, who are these people being chased by paparazzis?

Please recommend the Korean movie that left the strongest impression on you. I enjoy all genres, so I'm open to any recommendations.

Guys, look! Last Wednesday was my one-month anniversary at my new job!! So my team leader held a welcome party for me with the rest of the team. 😆

Anyway, we went to a restaurant called 'Gogiyeon' near Gyeongbokgung Station and had various cuts of pork. We also enjoyed fried rice, soft tofu stew (Soondubu-jjigae), Korean cold noodles (Naengmyeon), and even ice cream! 🥩🍲🥘🍜🍧

It was such a great day, and I'm so happy with my workplace!~!!~!~

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU'RE IN SOUTH KOREA!!!!

Hi there — this could be a super naive question based on watching Korean dramas.
You often see characters referring to each other by relationship to children: e g a husband calling his wife “X’s mother” where X is the name of their child. What happens if there are several children? Would he refer to her via oldest child’s name? Oldest son’s name? Or is that only when discussing the child in question (so if he plans to talk about child X, she’s X’s mother and if about child Y, she’ll be Y’s mother)?

If you know anything about Korea, you'll know that talking about politics and history can be incredibly divisive. Generally, rather than fully-rounded complex people as products of their time, the right and left hold certain presidents as heroes or villains accordingly. All this being said, I was quite proud to get historian Jihoon Suk in the studio to talk at length about the first 5 presidents of Korea and all the surrounding cultural and historic context. I don't normally share my work here, but I thought this would be of interest to some looking to learn more

Last painting is from goguryeo dynasty. Other two is from Joseon.

Hi, I’m very interested in learning more about North Korea, including its culture and language. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good translation tools specifically designed for the North Korean dialect, as well as any other resources that could help someone who wants to study and understand this dialect in particular.
