What is a song theme that never changes over time and is always loved by people?

Yes, that’s right. It’s love.

Especially, love between a man and a woman is the biggest theme in many songs.

That’s because love is something very important to human beings.

Today, I’m going to talk about a famous Korean song that every Korean knows —

A Good Person by Toy, a song about unrequited love.

I often listen to old songs.

Did you know that many songs from the 1990s and 2000s have easier lyrics than today’s K-POP?

The lyrics are very direct, so it’s easy to understand the words and sentences.

That’s why today, I want to introduce a nostalgic song called “We Need to Talk.”

In this song, you can hear a real conversation between a couple going through a rough time in their relationship.

In Korea, May 15 is “Teachers’ Day.”

But why is May 15 chosen as Teachers’ Day?

It’s because that day is the birthday of a very respected person in Korea.

That person is King Sejong the Great. As many people learning Korean already know, King Sejong made Hangul, the Korean alphabet. But his amazing story doesn’t end there.

King Sejong also did great things in many areas like politics, economy, society, science, music, and culture. However, his life was not always happy.

Today, I will tell you some stories about King Sejong that you might not know yet.

Everyone,

I came down with a bad cold and body aches this week.

Although I’m feeling much better now, I wasn’t able to record this week’s podcast. Instead, my son will be reading a book for you with his adorable voice. I’m truly sorry. I’ll take better care of my health moving forward and work hard to create even better content.

Please have a restful weekend, and I’ll be back next week with a refreshed voice. Thank you always for your support!

Have a wonderful day and a happy weekend!

There’s a K-drama that’s been getting a lot of attention lately. It’s "When Life Gives You Tangerines". It was very Korean, very human, and very warm. I feel like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a drama like this. But at the same time, I started to wonder— did people from other countries feel the same warmth that I felt? So today, I’d like to talk about what "When Life Gives You Tangerines" means to Korean people, and share my thoughts through my own experience!

So today, let’s talk about the real meanings and feelings behind these expressions, along with some example sentences! 🤗👍
