Welcome back~ We missed you! Also can you guys believe Liam Payne passed away? I'm still in mourning π Hope all my fellow directioners are doing okay...
Let's get right into this week's issue of Teugether! βΊοΈ
What's the news in Korea this week?! π°π·
Maybe some of you might have heard about it but a Korean author named Han Kang (νκ°) won the Nobel prize for literature this year!!!!
People are so happy and bookstore orders for her works are literally being FLOODED right now. She is the first Korean author to have won a nobel prize and also the 18th woman in history to win! We're so happy for her!!!
She also refused to have a press conference as she felt that it was insensitive to celebrate during a time of war and genocide around the world. And I respect her so much for that!! β€οΈ
Check out the book: It's called "The Vegetarian" & show her some support! π
If you don't read here's a podcast about the book!
Korean Slang of the Week !
κ³΅μ£Όλ³ πΈ
(gong-ju-byeong)
This slang is unfortunately not the nicest thing to say but also commonly used between
friends and family haha (you'll get it)
Let's break it down!
곡주: princess
λ³: disease/sickness/illness
Can you guess what it means?! If you guessed princess disease you're right (kind of) κ³΅μ£Όλ³ is basically what you say when your friend or family member is acting like a spoiled little princess (it would be similar to saying brat)! There is also a male version which is "μμλ³" (prince disease: wang-ja-byeong).
