In Korea it is okay to walk up to someone and say: “why did you gain weight?” or “look, what do you have there, a pimple?”
Hey! Hi everyone, dear friends! It is me again - Kim Yoongi and now on this channel I will... No, again!
Hey! Hi everyone, dear friends! It is me again - Kim Yoongi and now I will not only make videos on my channel, but even here. As people say one Yoongi is good, but two is better!
Okay, I won't make it too long, let's go straight to the topic!
And today's video topic is: things in Korea that do not exist in Russia.
And the first one is Coin Noreban.
What is Coin Noreban? Well, the word “nore” in Korean means a song, and “ban” is a room. So, it is a room where you can sing.
And I think “coin” in English and Korean means the same: coins.
So for the coins you can sing in these rooms. It is a small room where you can sing alone or with friends.
And here are those Coin Noreban, where you can sing for the coins. They are not too big, they fit maximum 4 people, but as people say: the more the merrier.
And here is the panel where you can choose your favorite songs.
Usually, there are many Asian songs in Coin Noreban: Japanese, Chinese, Korean and so on. And of course, the most popular songs from around the world.
Because there are so many songs and it is impossible to remember all of them, there is a special book where all songs are written in lines under special numbers.
By the way, there are even Russian songs! Here, look!
Because of that screen you can watch music videos of the song and also read song texts.
By the way, song texts are shown on this TV so it is easier to sing.
As you can see, here you can pay your songs with coins. Usually 2 songs cost 500 won. 500 won is half a dollar.
There are many holidays for couples and also, when you are in a relationship you almost must wear matching outfits, make a shedload of cute pictures. There are also rings for couples, covers - you get it, right.
The alcoholic drink "Soju” is very popular in Korea.
Soju is something like Russian vodka, only slightly weaker.
It looks approximately like this.
Usually soju is from 15 to 45% alcohol by volume.
In Korea it is allowed to drink alcohol in public places, so that is why you can see how Koreans drink outside on the streets or even on playgrounds.
Moreover, especially late at night on the weekends you can see drunk Koreans walking in the middle of the street and some are lying on the ground. And it is usual.
Korean age
Many people ask me how to know your own age in Korea? It is very simple:
Choose your birth year. And just add plus one.
Why? Because when you are in the mother's womb you already have plus one year to your birth year.
In Korea it is okay to walk up to someone and say: “why did you gain weight?” or “look, what do you have there, a pimple?”
Yes, sometimes people in Korea can walk up to you and say that with the intention to hurt you, but the majority will say it with good intentions.
Often people in my class walk up even to me and say: “What do you have there, a pimple? Do something about it, take it away!” They mean like how you can be like this.
I don't think there is something special about it and many Koreans think alike.
Often the truth hurts but it is better that way than just telling lies.
Fortune telling is very popular in Korea. You can notice small strange booths with chairs and with an old strange lady while walking down the streets. You should know that they are for fortune telling and you should never go in.
