What EVERYONE is talking about in Korea rn! 🧑‍🍳

2024. 10. 14.

❤️ Hello Everyone !!!! ❤️

Welcome back to our weekly newsletter! Can you believe we're already half way through October?! 😎

Let's get right into this week's issue of Teugether! ☺️

What's trending in Korea this week?! 🇰🇷

This week in Korea, (and for the past couple of weeks actually) the reality show "Culinary Class Wars" has been the TALK of the town!!!

If you haven't seen it yet, it's basically a cooking show that pits different chefs against each other for money/fame BUT there is also a very interesting aspect about it!

There are two groups - one is called the white spoons and this group consists of chefs who are already very well known and popular. The other group is black spoons who are chefs who aren't as well known and don't have their names revealed.

Not only is it a battle of cooking like a normal show, it's also a battle of pride and really poses the question: Is fame/success really an indicator of cooking skill?!

This show is SO popular in Korea that if you haven't seen it you'd probably feel left out HAHA Catchtable (Korea's reservation app) even released a list of all of the chef's and their restaurants! (I'm visiting one of them tomorrow hehe I hope it's good!)

Check out the trailer below if you haven't seen it already!

Korean Lyric of the Week 🎶

Y'all SEVENTEEN's new album came out today and I'm in LOVE already. Let's learn a lyric from their new title song "Love, Money, Fame" ❤️

"모두가 원해
사랑 돈 명예"

(mo-du-ga won-gae sa-rang don meyong-eh)

Let's break it down!

모두가: everybody
원해: want/wants
사랑: love
돈: money
명예: fame

Can you guess what this lyric means?! It means "Everyone wants it. Love, money, and fame"

And the next lyrics is... "But I only want you baby" ❤️ (how romantic)

Try using any of the words in your own sentence!!

🌟TEUIDA's Advice Column🌟

"I'm really stressed and overwhelmed with school, family, planning about the future, and my relationship with my partner. It feels like no matter how hard I work and try, I am still behind. There's always task after task and I feel like I'm crumbling. I've tried many ways to combat stress and relax but nothing seems to work. Do you have any tips or words of advice on what to do?

❤️

Hi friend:)

Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing your struggle with me! I hope that the advice I give is helpful to any of who who is having a hard time!

The future is always going to be unknown and when you're stressed about it, it's so important to take a step back and truly GIVE YOURSELF SOME CREDIT! You're goal should be to be better than you were yesterday! (Not perfect!)

It's so overwhelming to look at life like a race and days as just full of tasks; so, to combat stress, my best advice is to truly give yourself some space to breathe and take care of yourself.

If you have 5 tasks to complete in a day make sure that you have breaks inbetween where you're doing something for YOURSELF! My favorite thing to do when I'm stressed is to either take a walk (reconnect with nature) OR take a long bath and have fun doing my skin care. Make sure you're taking care of yourself, I'm rooting for you!
