This is one of my favorite Korean idioms, although I rarely use it or encounter it.

However, the story of this phrase is really interesting, and I was able to learn more about its history while creating this video.

I hope you'll enjoy it too~!

Ouch! You cut your finger while chopping onions. Ouch! You hit your toe on the bathroom door. Ouch! You bump into someone’s heavy bag on the street.

These are all incidences you may come across in your daily life and often when they happen, you can’t help but involuntarily exclaim “Ouch!” to the sting of pain.

So wouldn’t it be fun to add to your Korean vocabulary with the knowledge of how to say ‘ouch’ in Korean? Your Korean friends would surely be impressed to hear you say ‘ouch!’ in Korean next time you hit your hip on the table! So this is what will be covered in today’s lesson!

It has been an inexcusably long time since I’ve made a post, but I do have a few excuses. One of them I will get into in more detail soon, but the reason why I’m suddenly posting again today is because today is the final deadline of a book I’ve been translating over the past six months, in addition to all my other work. That means I finally have some free time again. Well, I don’t really, but I’m giving myself a week off before I get fully stuck in to my next project, which should be appearing here soon.

Of course, part of the issue with being busy is not really having time to write and edit photos, but my schedule’s been so out of control for the past few months that I’ve not even really had time to do things like stop by a café for a pastry and a coffee. Hopefully, that will change soon, because there are so many great places to do that in Seoul now, and one of my favorites is Mr. Peyton, in Hannam-dong.
