If a Korean marries a foreigner to live in their country is it true that they lose their Korean citizenship? And what are the consequences if wanting to return to Korea in the future.

Bought from a charity shop looked cool

Hi, I'm Brazilian and I want to buy a flip phone, which is very difficult to find, and I found the KoreanBro store selling it. I REALLY want to buy but I'm hugely afraid of my money simply disappearing and my order not arriving, the problem is that it's a little difficult for me to analyze whether the website/store is legitimate at all because I'm Brazilian and I don't understand Korean :(

Apparently they only accept PayPal. If they don't send the product, can I contact PayPal support to get my money back or is it already over?

I have recently come across a meme the essentially said that men and women in Korea are at each other's throats, instead of other body parts.

I ask this because I have had a theory that gender relations in western countries have been deteriorating in recent times and that they were poised to become critically unsustainable. If you guys could inform me of your experiences, maybe I'd have better arguments to explain to people how things need to change.

Is it lee jae myung?

I came across this marriage introduction service in Seoul the other day. Very direct!

My friend lives in Korea, and I live in the US. We’re both heading to Japan, and I’m handling all the bookings using my US credit cards. Her bank account (Woori Bank) isn’t set up for online transfers. I have accounts with Bank of America, Capital One, etc. Is there a way for her to send money to me by visiting a Bank of America branch in Korea? Alternatively, if she pays me in won, can I go to a Bank of America branch in Seoul to transfer it to my account? Has anyone done this before?

Hello everyone. I'm from the Philippines and it's my first time creating a KakaoTalk Account. The reason why I'm creating an account is because I'm currently studying Korean/Hangul online and my teacher who is Korean and lives in Korea made an open chat room for her students.

But I'm having trouble creating an account. When I'm at the stage of verifying my phone number and sending the verification code the message always says "Not Delivered".

Has anyone here encountered this problem and found a solution?

My phone is an iPhone 13 Pro Max and my SIM is Prepaid TM.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Or do you think other organisations could?

Hello! For school we need to do a miniature version of a garment around the world. If anyone has any information about the construction of the kisaeng (pattern, how it's sewn, pictures of garment in dif positions, etc) any information is welcome and I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

I imagine that most of us manage to maintain a certain degree of decorum when approached by religious proselytizers, so I wonder if you've ever been pushed past your breaking point. Nine times out of ten I'm polite but cold, and usually find a way to minimize the interaction time. On a few occasions I've decided to throw out something random, like, "Do you know Russian Orthodox?" or "Yes, I know Jesus, I'm a Coptic!", just to see what kind of reaction I get (usually a blank stare followed by "Jesus loves you.")

Today I was reading a book and listening to music on the subway when I was confronted by someone's hot breath in my face. I looked up to see a guy in his 50s or 60s murmuring at me in English. Right away I noticed a couple Bible pamphlets in his hand. I very slowly removed an earphone and made eye contact with him, then when through the whole "Where are you from?" routine. Mercifully, his phone rang and he spent a few minutes on the call while I replaced the earbud, returned to my book and basically tried to look as unapproachable as possible. As he started wrapping up the phone call, I had the good sense to know that he probably wouldn't read my cues, so I got up and walked over to the door, as if I intended to get off at the next station. I kept the earbuds in and the book in my face.

A moment later he was by my side, yammering about how he was a Baptist missionary. I gave him a few "uh-huhs" and "ohs", and avoided eye contact. Then he grabbed my hand and shoved a few of the pamphlets at me. "I don't want them," I said, and tried to give them back. He looked a little shocked but then started telling me to give them to friends, that it was very important so we could all to go heaven.

"No. I don't want them," I said again. He then pushed the pamphlets back into my hand. I looked around, hoping (naively) that someone would create a distraction or otherwise intervene, but everyone just sat with their eyes down, glued to their screens. We were coming to the next stop and although it wasn't where I wanted to get off, I realized I'd have to get off the train to get rid of the guy. I threw the pamphlets on the floor and, almost shouting, declared one more time that I didn't want them. Thankfully the doors soon opened and I made my escape (but had to wait for the next train because of him).

I don't really know why it rubbed me so badly this time, since his tactics weren't any different than the thousands of other Koreans who do the same thing. I guess it was the fact that he singled me out on the train based on how I look, then felt entitled to interrupt me and start preaching. I absolutely cannot imagine being an English-speaking country, seeing an Asian-looking person on a train, and thinking Oh, I speak some Korean. They probably do too. I'll go push my religion on them.

Again, it's not much different than accosting someone on the street, but for some reason it really got to me today.

Ever had a similar experience?

Just saw it on the train. Im just curious what it's about

Which set sounds best together?

하나, 유나, 나리

하나, 미나, 나리

하나, 세나, 나리

I'd appreciate any helpful insight. Prefer that these names won't result in mockery.

Really like 하나 and 나리, but open to other suggestions. Been told 하나 is unoriginal/too common and 나리 sounds too much like it'd only suit little girls and not adult women.
