Let's get right into this week's issue of Teugether! βΊοΈ
What's trending in Korea this week?! π°π·
Y'all DID YOU WATCH MAMA THIS YEAR?!?!?!
First of all, everyone was SO GOOD I especially looooved Aespa & Seventeen's stage + as a Carat (like a lot of you) I was so happy about the awards this year π
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY....
There was a surprise performance by BIGBANG, the ONE AND ONLYand seeing the reactions from all of the celebrities just made me realize HOW impactful Bigbang really was!! They are truly the idol's idol & they paved the way for K-pop and all of this attention to Korea fr & I'm so happy they're back (minus the problematic members lol) β€οΈ
Because BIGBANG is finally back since their last performance in 2016 & their comeback was a whole surprise, everyone in KR is so happy & listening to their old songs again!
Korean Lyric of the Week π°π·
Loser - BIGBANG
"μΌ μ²νλ κ²μμ΄"
(sen cheok-ha-neun geop-jeng-i)
Let's try breaking it down!!!!
μΌ μ²: pretending to be strong
νλ: doing
κ²μμ΄: coward/scaredy cat
There are TWO terms in here that are super commonly used BUT not commonly taught
Firstly, ______μ² (cheok) is pretending to be whatever the blank is. In this case, the blank is μΌ (which is strong) and so it means "pretending to be strong"
The second one is ____μμ΄ which the blank would be a character & μμ΄ means someone who has a lot of that character. For example, κ² is fear so someone who is a κ²μμ΄ is someone who is characterized by their fear. You can switch it out! For example, κ±°μ§λ§μμ΄ is someone who lies a lot because κ±°μ§λ§ is lie and if you add μμ΄ it becomes liar!
The lyrics put together means "A coward who is pretending to be strong" !!!!!
I just started a drama that I LOOOOOVE!! First of all I like all the actors & I love the story line and even the OST which it's HARD to have all of them...
The drama is called "Family by Choice" and it's about three kids who have all lost a parental figure all kind of living under the same roof as pseudo-siblings! It's really good & I recommend it to all of you! Also, the language is pretty simple so for those of you who want to try watching without subtitles, this would be a great one to start with!!!
