Real Korea! "Korean sentiments" Episode 3.‪한恨(Han‬-Resentment) [Hostel in Hongdae, Seoul, Korea]

Hello, guys!

A few days ago I read an article about '‪#‎Hwa_byung‬' which is a Korean mental illness which arises when people are unable to confront their anger as a result of conditions. 

The word hwa-byung is composed of "hwa" meaning "fire", "angry", 

and "byung" meaning "syndrome" or "illness". 

You might wonder why I'm talking about this depressed thing!

I'm telling you now why I did that shortly and the main topic "Han" right after.

Interestingly, Hwa-byung is known as a culture-bound syndrome.

The bound culture is "Han" what I'm going to tell you now.

‪Han‬ is a concept in ‪‎Koren culture‬ attributed as a unique Korean cultural trait.

Originally Korean is very cheerful and delightful people 

you could know through last week topic 'Heung'.

This pain sentiment has resulted from Korean long history of outside invasions and wars.

So if you want to know more about Korean Han trait, 

you need to learn Korean history properly.

I would recommend you "‪DMZ tour‬".

It will help well to show and understand you the most hurtful and recent history of Korea, the problems between North Korea and South Korea.

If you want to know the detail about tour, leave comment or message us.

I have written total 3 big Korean sentiments so far. 

They are the most fundamental and crucial parts to learn about Korea.

I hope I helped you some :)

Thank you for reading my stories of ‪‎Real Korea‬! 

I will come back with more interesting topic next week.

Keep well! See you soon <3

20150314 weekend cooking 70th Travelers Planet Hostel.[Hostel in Hongdae, Seoul, Korea]

Hello, everyone <3

Today Weekend cooking is Rolled omelet!

Rolled omelet is one of common side dishes in Korea.

It's not really difficult to cook but require some skill to make the shape nicely. 

but Travelers planet official chef "Effy" made it perfectly! Coooool.

Look at this video and try it yourself ;)

*Ingredient

eggs

some salt

oil

*Direction

Mix eggs in a bowl with some salt.

Heat a pan at medium high temperature and add oil.

Pour a thin layer of egg mixture in the pan, tilting to cover the bottom of the pan. 

After the thin egg has set a little, gently roll into a log.

Repeat adding egg to the pan and rolling back and forth until the egg is used up.

Remove from the pan and cool for 3-4 minutes.

Slice the ends of the log off and then slice the log into a bite-sized. 

and enjoy!

Real Korea! "Korean sentiments" Episode 2.‪흥興‬(Heung-joy) [Hostel in Hongdae, Seoul, Korea]

Originally Korean called ourself we are a race 

having ‪Han‬(Resentment) and Heung cultural traits.

A Interesting point is they two traits are completely opposite conceptions. 

But they are innerly related to each other. 

I'm going to tell you more about Han next weekend.

Korean's Heung is shown well in people's daily life and culture.

Basically, korean people love to eat, drink, sing and dance 

all together at the same time so much!

Some Korean speak in game we could share proper Jeong 

to exchange glasses each other and hang out singing and dancing.

This sentiment has come down to us from our ancestors.

We can find it in Korean traditional play, music and performance.

The most outstanding example is ‪Sa-mul-no-ri‬.

It is a genre of traditional percussion music.

Several people play four different traditional Korean musical instruments 

upon special Sa-mul-no-ri rhythms all musician and audience dancing and moving free.

Also the musicians consider communication and harmony 

with audiences a significant part.

If you see the performance I'm sure you cannot stop dancing and feeling free! 

I personally think sometimes we know traditional things are certainly important 

but also cannot deny some of them is quite boring.

But this one is not, it is still fairly exciting 

but unfortunately its fame has been losing out to new things like always.

In the sense, I recommend a performance "‪Nanta‬".

It a comedy performance, a story in kitchen based on Sa-mul-no-ri rhythms.

Knives and other kitchen utensils make sound, 

as those stuff are transformed into musical instruments!

I hope more people know more about Korean Heung 

and its culture not onl ‪Kang-nam Style‬ and hope it did work! haha

Keep cool! guys, let's see next week! 

Notice! Next real Korea is "‪한恨‬(Resentment)" 

Please look forward to it!
