Korean lesson Chapter 1 - JIN SIM?!



From now on, I think i can make korean lesson feature within this blog.
So i added one of my lesson for you, if you are really interesting in learning korean.

Actually, I have been publishing the english lesson in pretty famous monthly magazine in S.korea. I used to take a role of article explaining the meaning of sentence with cartoon like above which is drawn by SAKIROO, my old good buddy and character designer.

However, I think I can use it as a korean lesson for forigners by way of contrast.


Today is the first topic for the korean lesson in OKIROO's blog

A : Why don’t we do it this way?
이런 식으로 하면 어떠한가요? (E RUN SIKURO HAMYEON U TTER HANN GA YO? )
B: Are you serious? Let it remain as it is
진심이야? 그냥 그대로 나둬 ( JINSIM E YA? Keu-Nyang Keu Dae Ro Na Dwo. )

I hope i made good letters to pronounce with your accent. I really tried my best.

Incase of the first sentence,
E RUN SIKURO HAMYEON U TTER HANN GA YO?

E Run Sik... means This way

And When you try to suggest some thing you want
You would say like Why don't we ... blahblah
In korean, however, you can say blahblah~ U TTER HANN GA YO?

Yo is alway added on end of sentences you make if you try to make respectful way of speaking.

Korean use the couple of diffent respectful way of speaking according to the relationship with the someone you talking to.
When you talk with your close friend, you don't need to add the YO things. But when you try to speak with some one you first to see each other or who is older than you etc
You should remember the word 'YO' you have to add on every end of speaking.
Got it?
hahahaha


Next is the Are you Serious?

진심이야? 그냥 그대로 나둬 ( JINSIM E YA? Keu-Nyang Keu Dae Ro Na Dwo. )

JIN SIM mean your the whole[true] heart or sincerity.

진심(眞心)

In chinese letter we can pronounce it as a korean way.
진 JIN 眞 True, sincerity..etc
심 SIM 心 heart


There are too much to explain the whole bunch of meaning with chinese.

Let me briefly talk only about uses with JIN SIM E YA? things

I hope you can't directly say that word to your partner if you are not familar with him or her.
As i said, Always remember the word, YO.

If you want to use that kind of way asking for their intend or thought by some one you are not that close with or older than you, you have to be careful and show repectful expression with.... YO.

You have to change the someword, E YA within JIN SIM E YA . OK?

You 'd better say JIN SIM E SE YO?
진심이세요?

Feel free to ask me if you have a question about korean plz~~!!

Who is creating a stir on the Internet.




Maybe, I think the atmosphere of internet forum in South korea lately looks like the picture above.
If there is stupid crappy stuff on public, people using an internet started to look it as their own prey, and they used to slammed and attacked then, creating a huge stir all over the website.

I think it is common situation we can easily see on the Korea' s internet experiences.
Every people behind the monitor have their own thought and standard to make their opinion and decision for issues
But, given the case of Park jaeboem who had kick out by judgement of public on internet forum due to the remark he made on his website when he was young,
I couldn't stop to think this is not right and make me think that using the internet for sharing each of our opinions for free without any management is really totally dangerous.
This environment is little similar case with hysteria generated for witch-hunt on the middle age. I have been thinking that intenet is the ideal tool to optimize the way of sharable communication between people. it would make people more considerable with various knoweldge given by each people on internet.
Unfortunately, it is not that true in case of South Korea.

You would recognize what happened these days in S. Korea with above article

One of the female student appeared on popular TV show and make a remark that

A short man is a loser!!

According to her measurement method for qualifiable man should taller than 6 ft at least.
and every man under that tall is completly LOSER.

That 's what she said on the air.
As soon as i heard this comment on live air. I was totally losing my mind.
Well because of what ?
Because of fact that i am under that measure so i couldn't reach to the qualification of her ?

No, absolutely not!

Because the KBS, the nation's largest and influencible broadcasting firm was airing this extremly delirious comments without any fixing or editing.
Are they crazy?




the funny things that i want to point out is some rumor that is related to late Naval Clash.
Coincidentally, the naval clash in west sea between South and North korea was happened after day of this air.
Netizen began to make fun of this air and remark that Miss Lee who made remark about loser thing also did infuriate Kim jeong il in North korea to mad. so he send the Special force team to take her out with naval.
According to the article below
' North Korea Thursday blamed this week's naval clash on a "conspiracy" by South Korea's military to thwart the current mood of cross-border dialogue.'

Netizen pointed out the Miss Lee that She was the one who made the conspiracy for naval clash.
Because Kim jeong il is also fail to her qualification.





After that Netizen bring all the celebrities who is unqualifiable for her method.
including a photo of actor Tom Cruise with a caption ``Tomc Loser.''


well
anyway
Lee was not the only one who spoke out the reckless comment on the air. their were more 11 female guests deriding short man or poor man etc. Every comment was absolutely rubbish.

i dont want to blame to their own thoght and Superficiality.
In these days Superficiality is engrained in the culture. i knew that is not the typical opinion for only her . (yeah there were 11 more... on the air. )

But i want to quote the one of the comment among the netizen that

...the reason the netizens jumped on this one is due to a certain short-guy complex among the Korean "netizens." If these netizens were consistent, they would realize women discriminating against short men is the same as the netizens discriminating against fat, ugly, or scarred women in their "internet searches."

that's right the hysteria among community on internet jumped on this story without any considerable thought and reasonable acting and worked tiself into a frenzy. that's all about us in internet.
We need to more careful and regard the using internet more compelling tool based on responsibility.

But i can't stand for the broadcasting that they expected these controvercial act from netizen and intentionally aired the crappy comments for higher viewer rating.

Political revenge to comedian?!



Do you believe if the Administration forces to one of the lame comedian by cutting off his job for political motivated retaliation???


Currently, Popular korean comedian Kim Je-dong, is in the controversy with Korean Broadcasting System(KBS) in South Korea.
Because there are gossips that political power forced him to leave off the show.

Recently, He just quit his job working MC on One of the entertaining Korean show out of the blue.
But public in korea raise their doubtful point In regarding with his sudden leaving. Because, much of thing was either missing or highly suspect.
Korean public through the internet think that his dismissal is speculated as a series of eliminations of liberal figures from organizations run by the conservative Lee Myung-bak administration.


1. He was side of Former President Noh who passed away in May by killing himself.

As a matter of fact that his status on political footprints influence him to quit the job. He has been showing his official stance for the every politic issue in S. Korea

Especially, When former korean president Roh Moo Hyeon passed away by suicide, he did the host of funeral and last memorial ceremonies.

and He has spoken on different position against current korean government, MB administration, at any other social problems with his own opinion.

2. Ok then What's so matter to Government when Jedong Kim supporting former president.

http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2009/09/116_46452.html

You need to read above and understand the behind why the fomer president Roh had suicided. I dont want to make lame excuses for reason why Roh suicied himself due to the alleged bribe scandal with his old buddy.

However, The results of the survey showed that many people believe prosecutors had not properly investigated President Lee Myung-bak's aides while targeting a corrupt link between Roh, his aides and the businessman.

Whether the public conceptions are truth as it is or not ..

Public conception is really matter to korean politicians and government.

Moreover Jedong Kim is one of the famous influential celebrity with liberal connections that he did even host the memorial ceremony for the late former president who is political enemy relation with current administration in S. Korea. That is the reason why public can have a firm belief that Jedong's dismissal is kind of political retaliation.

3. Last but not least, this is not a first case suspected of having been dismissed due to the liberal connection with opposite party against President Lee Myung Bak.

Rocker Yoon Do-hyun was suspended from his long-running KBS2 show ``Love Letter'' last November.

Female Comedian Kim Mee-hwa was also dismissed from her own MBC Radio show "World and Now" Because she was severely criticized for her opinion supporting crowds holding candle-lit protests against government.



she is the Mee-hwa Kim.

Girl's Generation ranking list chapter 2 ?!

Alright .. This list is followed by the last ranking list below.
and source is from one of the reporter from DDanzi.com
so this is completely different than my individual thought.

(I must say DDanzi.com is always writing their article freely out of our stereotype and they are wellknown for their subjective opinion and evaluation. haha.. That's why i like them.
and their subjective post is always tugged at my mind and these are not only about those entertaining gossip things but also social phenomenon or even a political issue. )

DDanzi described in their article that it was little picky to distinguish between second and third one - Tae Yeon.


DDanzi ranked the second one for.. .



Su Yeong ...





WHOOOOOOOO~~is..


Actually, I guess most of the fan of Girl's Generation had expected that SeoHyeon or.. Yuri would come up on 2nd. but They did not choose them for No. 2

It makes us little puzzled and even frighten that DDanzi ranked her on that place.


But .. reporter individualy decided due to her character.






she is currently working on couple of TV show as a female host and she is showing her talented features on there. You would admit that she has enough wit and tact to deal with any role on the TV program.
You can recognize her lovely talents she got through the video clip below

unfortunately, i am not so sure you would understand the whole situations she is doing and showing. because it comes with korean.






















Let me explain about what she was doing

What Suyeon speaks a weird sounds with Yuri was trying to mimic the calling 11 o'clock from mobile apps. like little young girl voice. That was sooooo cute.
열 한 시 (Yeol Han SI ) which means eleven o'clock
And the other one was more funy thing. just briefly talk a little background on it.
There are currently popular funny program, Mrs kang in dressroom. It features the virtual story that happened behind backstage of comedian show before they show up for real show.
and they are speaking with very individual dialects on there.
and Su Yeong just made herself vocal mimicry of it. and it is really same as it is.
really i rather say it is more fun to be joined that original one.

This is the original one that Suyeong mimiced on the above pic.
I am so sorry to show this freaking pic out of the blue. I just wanted to help you understand more of detail what going on with Su yeong in the above film.

And last but not least . ..

The honorable first ranked one is ...

Every fan already know of it.. i guess.

yes right. It goes without saying.

That is Yun-Ah our dear~!






She is the apple of my eye. and those pictures do not do her justice.


She was born in 30th, may, 1990.yep really young. she stands to me in the relation of nephew.
However, I am just as a pure fan of her. would like to talk about her issues in korea.


When she first hit the soap opera, You are my destiny (너는 내운명) of KBS korean national broadcasting she became the nationwide pretty girl and got the little reputation as the talented actress. It was pretty good.




But when she was starring on Cinderella man of MBC, she couldn't get the attention from the people as much as expected.


Although she had appeared and played the leading role with big star, Kwon Sang Woo, the soap opera was regarded as failing ratings.







Whatever she did and couldn't reach to success of couple of TV soap operas.



Way to go Girl's generation




we back you up forever~!!

girls generation ranking list?! chapter 1

Well .. i 've been thinking,


it's Always hard to pick up the issues for writing the story right here.

Especially since i just decided to start the blog writing about Korean stuffs in media, i have been struggling to choose the proper subject to be attractive for the people who might want to know more about Korea things for media, cultures, trendy whatever ...
but well easy things will be appropriated to make goody interests

and as eligible bachelor, i would like to pop up the most appropriated topic on here..
That is about ...



GIRL'S GENERATION ~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11




WOW!! say yeah


I used to come by one of my favorite wesite DDanzi webzine. click here
and i just read about this article that reporter make a ranking list by himself.

But it was totally different than what i thought. (i am so convinced that there are more guys thinking like me huh? )

so i would straight forward to make my own list here for my angels KKK..

damn

i need to show some demonstrations for the people who don't know Girl's Generation
That would explain whom the girls group now we are talking about .




















ok did you complete watching the video above.


now you are on my languages. you know the drill.

see the DDanzi that i brought for this article said he just more valued on only appearances and style. He didn't include the any other facts like powerful voice and outstanding singing ability.

haha ok i like those standards for making a ranking list in case of girl group.



According to his opinion,



5th was..

Tiffany



she is really cute and pretty !! Actually she is well worth even 1st or 2nd at least.

but he just ranked her at 5th .. damn , man and only the reason why

because of her bright eye smile ... wow


look..
















she just brighten the studio with her gorgeous smile..

and used to compare with Kathryn Morris oh my dear..


and Forth was ...

Jessica. ~!!




One of the big attractive point of her is that she 's got the little girly but the feeling that we used to catched and tugged at our heartspring through the tragic movie's heroine.











The video clip was from Unlimited Challenges of MBC, the most populate korean TV show.

See the below pic you can get her another different attractive point.







and Third ... was

Tae-yeon.


Well .. TaeYeon.. she is my real favorite girl among the group. and i am so conviced that she is worth for NO.1 she 's the best!!! you stupid DDANZI.
However, DDanzi also admitted that Taeyeon is elligible to rank on No. 3. Because not only for her gorgeous appearance but for a singing and have little appeal to people by her singing style.


yep i totally agree with it i am all for it

Also, she is in charge of leader of Girl's Generation and showed lots of feature that the common usual man would like i guess



gooooooooooooood!!! i love this song.


Especially when she was appeared on TV show " we just got married" which is show the life of fake marriage between male and female celebrity and pretend like they are couple
she was with Jeon Hyeon Don, and really impressively lived with him eventhough he was .... really common.. i think these kind of things gave lots of impressive for common man like me..

Ok then ..

Guess what ? who is the 2nd and the first among the band

i will keep on writting about it later.
