I was hoping for someone to tell what Koreans thought about it, not some dry ass news articles anon

>>579614
Koreans aren't paying attention like they did 4 months ago. News about the Nth room case still pop up tho.

How about Korean food for beginners? There is this amazing looking Korean food place near my apartment, but I am too intimidated to go into it because I don’t know anything about SK… food looks so good though.

doesn't hurt to just pick something random off the menu or ask for recommendations as a novice, but i'll list some stuff i really enjoy from korean restaurants.

-korean fried chicken. beware of the spicy sauce; the restaurants in my city make it super weak but still a bit too spicy for my normie white bf. restaurants in tokyo never toned it down and, despite loving heat, it made me unable for think for 10 mins straight a couple of times. but there are other sauces too, and the classic combo is k-fried chicken + beer. (chimaek)
-bibimbap. just a bunch of veggies, one or two meats and rice. to eat it you pour the sauce they give you (some restaurants don't offer extra sauce tho) and mix it all together. eat with a spoon. very basic but delicious.
-korean pancake/buchimgae. there are different asian variants of this dish and it's easy to enjoy imo.
-a side of kimchi! if you've never tried it, you should. it's a staple of korean meals. it might be an acquired taste but if you keep an open mind you could come to love it. bit spicy though.
-bulgogi. marinated meat. divine.
-blood sausage/soondae. weird name, weird color…but it's delicious, trust me. tastes nothing like what you expect.
-tteokbokki. chewy rice cakes with spicy sauce. god i miss it so much, you can get it for so cheap in asia. it's pretty damn spicy usually. the texture is great.
-jjajangmyeon/black bean sauce noodles. black bean sauce over some noodles, no broth. best variant is seafood jjajangmyeon imo. it makes a mess (the sauce is quite literally black) but it's so tasty.
-any jigae. stew. will depend on your personal taste, of course. i personally love kimchi jigae.
-gimbap. japanese maki but make it korean.
-korean bbq. honestly i'm not obsessed with it but yakiniku/korean bbq are most fun with a group of friends. meaningless and maybe impossible if alone (the restaurant might only serve 2+ people).
-naengmyeon. cold noodles. only eaten in summer. it could sound off-putting but it's actually satisfying.
-bingsu! famous korean dessert in summer. still haven't had it but it's pretty nice from what i've heard.

>>579706
bingsu is good! injeolmi is the best kind. not sure if they might have it where you live.

Sooo, the Seoul mayor is now dead. I saw people saying that it was due to sexual scandals

>>579706
God DAMN I love me some naengmyeon. Would be so perfect in my city's current hot and humid weather. There's a place in my city that has it all year round and sometimes I would get it in the middle of winter just because I love it so damn much lol.

Dead or his career or over?

The Seoul mayor Park Wonsoon, the second highest ranking official in SK, was found dead at a mountainside in Seoul. No suicide notes and the daughter was the one who contacted police.
Sexual harassment claims were filed against him hours before his disappearance…
They are still investigating.

I've been watching a lot of korean TV. It's crazy how much they let slip about things going on behind the scenes.

Can't believe I found out Ho Dong likes eating so much he'll throw up so he can keep eating

Any nonas had luck on Korean tinder?

just become a prostitute, same thing

>>1544920
no don't do it, especially if you're new to korea and can't read between the cultural lines. You'll just end up as some korean scrote's foreign girl experience story
Usually for serious/better relationships; people meet through 소개팅 aka introduced by a friend/acquaintance. You're better off just making a solid social life first. Join shit on meetup.com, join fb groups for expats, language exchanges (which are essentially speed dating anyways), or if you're religious go to whatever establishment.

What's up with Korean sects? They seem even crazier than usual. A friend of mine stayed in Korea for a year and told me they're everywhere, meanwhile during a semester in Tokyo I only got one person trying to convince me to follow her to her church. Did any anon who lived on Korea or are still living there have to deal with this shit on a regular basis?

>>1545191
Koreans are religious idiots. Just look at their culture, they love to do what everyone else is doing, and they loooove being followers. They love conforming. They are basically the US of Asia. It makes sense that a country whose people are so obsessed with image and capitalism would also latch onto one of the two worst religions in the world. The entire country is basically led by capitalist corporate oligarchs and the quality of life is garbage, their healthcare is garbage, their social safety net is basically non existent just like the US. Perfect climate for religious extremism.

I am in a tiny eastern european country (i would call it western european but w/e) and it has a lot of korean or viet immigrants, and koreans trying to recruit people in their cult in 90s-late00s was supper common here apparently. My friends and their family would always have at least one story where someone would have a korean person stalk them on a bus stop for a few days to try "changing their life".

>>1545199
That's scary lol it never happened to me in my country thank god. I posted my encounter with the crazy sect lady in Tokyo once here and it made anons laugh because of how strange that was but now I imagine that if someone tried that shit in my country in Western Europe as well the same lady would have gotten an asskicking.

>>1545197
I guess I shouldn't be surprised tbh, was the previous president kicked out of office for giving too much money to a sect and letting it use her? I was surprised that Shinzo Abe was involved in a sect and got killed for it until I remembered that South Korea is the same but worse and it's very close to Japan culturally and geographically.

>was the previous president kicked out of office for giving too much money to a sect and letting it use her?

no it was way crazier than that. she joined the sect in her 20's and they spent 30 years grooming her to eventually become president and it worked. the sect then basically controlled the entire nation of south korea through the president who was their loyal puppet.

Damn, I guess MGS2 predicted this too…

I always hear the craziest stories coming from S.Korea. Such as the nut rage incident.

>>1545629
what's the nutrage incident?

>>1545670

The nut rage incident, also referred to as nutgate (Korean: 땅콩 회항, Ttangkong hoehang), was an air rage incident that occurred on December 5, 2014, at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City onboard Korean Air Flight 086. Korean Air vice president Heather Cho (Korean name: Cho Hyun-ah), dissatisfied with the way a flight attendant served nuts on the plane, ordered the aircraft to return to the gate before takeoff.

nta and I'm looking more into it. It's pure autism, there's no way someone can do that shit without being developmentally delayed, I refuse to believe it.

south korea seems like the boring version of japan

>>1545197
>They are basically the US of Asia.
preach

>>1545025
Thanks for your concern but I really don’t care about that desu. I’ve already been raised ultra puritan and missed out on teenage partying and dating, I’m not looking for a long term bf, I just wanna go clubbing, go on a bunch of dates and have a hoe phase, because soon I’ll be a decrepit old lady and I know I’m gonna regret not having fun in my youth.

so this is just my opinion, but if you're gonna do the hoe thing in Korea my advice is to first join a bunch of online expat groups for women in Korea first to get a feel for what you're up against. Because every week there's a girl asking for help because she got sexually assaulted or raped and the police don't care. Korea is 'safe' but the nightlife is sinister for women. Getting roofied, filmed w/o permission during sex, stealthing are pretty common. On top of that, korean men will treat ignorant foreign girls differently, shit a korean woman would never put up with. Kpop culture has rottened foreign girls brains so they get in trouble because Korean men are fucking trash. So start searching for groups on fb first and learn from others
