Hi everyone! It’s been a while :)
In this episode, we’re talking about a super common Korean expression: “근황 토크” (geunhwang tokeu) — which means “catching up” or “talking about how you’ve been.”

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the slang word “국룰 guk-rul”, which literally means “national rule.” But no, it’s not about actual laws. It’s about things that everyone just naturally does—the unwritten rules of Korean life. From food pairings to blind dates, weddings, and even elevator etiquette, we’ll explore all the fun and quirky ways “guk-rul” shows up in everyday Korean culture.

Let’s get into it!

Let's explore fun Korean expressions related to hands! Learn the meaning of 똥손 (ttong-son)—someone who is bad at making things—and 금손 (geum-son)—a person with great hand skills.
