Korean Fashion Terms (2) - Tops

1. 셔츠 (sheocheu) - Shirt

반팔셔츠 (Banpalsheocheu ) - Short sleeved shirt
Among 반팔셔츠, 티셔츠 (Tisheocheu) indicates a shirt which doesn't have a collar.
폴로셔츠(Polosheocheu) is a shirt which has a collar.

Since I like Lee Hyori, I will post a lot of Hyori's pictures today. ;)
This is 티셔츠. It doesn't have any collar.

Golf players usually wear 폴로셔츠.

Nice looking 폴로셔츠



긴팔셔츠(Kinpalsheocheu) - a long sleeved shirt

Pretty Hyori with 긴팔셔츠

2. 나시(Nashi) - Sleeveless Shirt

끈나시(Kkeunnashi) - Top with a strap

3. 배꼽티 (Bekkobti) - Short top showing your belly button
배꼽(Bekkob) is Belly Button.





I know you guys want more pictures with 배꼽티, but I will stop here. lol.

4. 탱크탑(Tangkeutap) - Tank Top  - A short sleeveless shirt



5. 블라우스 (Beullauseu) - Blouse - A dressy women's shirt with buttons


시스루 블라우스 (Siseuru Beullauseu) - See-through Blouse
Nowadays, 시스루 블라우스 is popular in Korea.

Usually, people don't wear 시스루 블라우스 like this. People put 나시 inside, but Hyuna is supposed to be sexy, so that is how she wears it. 



6. 와이셔츠 (Waisheocheu) - Men's dress shirt




A lot of men's fantasy is being with a girl with only 와이셔츠.



A lot of Korean celebrities take pictures like this because many men like this.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Please comment to support! :)

Korean Fashion Terms (1) Skirt, Pants

1. 치마(Chima) - Skirt
Even though Skirt is 치마, when we talk about mini skirt or long skirt. We just use our Konglish pronunciation.

미니 스커트(Mini Seukeoteu) for  Mini Skirt


Rihanna is such a barbie doll.


Their skirts look too short. -_-;;;




롱 스커트 (Long Seukeoteu) for Long Skirt (Maxi Skirt)


This can be a long skirt, I guess. 

It is long, just with a slit.

3. 바지 (Baji) - Pants

반바지(Banbaji) for shorts
Me and My baby. :)

Hyomin (Korean singer)

Hmmm... Will you at least find your size?

Shorts that are very short are called 핫팬츠(Hatpenteu). 핫팬츠 is from Hot Pants. I guess if shorts are very short, they make you hot?? Anyway,
Too short.

Please.... don't....

Are these panties or shorts?

A dad in Utah got so fed up with his teenage daughter's short shorts, and he decided to wear these.

Yes, you are the best Dad EVER. lol.


긴바지(Kinbaji) for long pants

I like this color. :)

Victoria, don't you think the pants are a bit too long?

This is not how you wear long pants, dude.



Thanks for reading the post!!!

While googling, I found Blake Lively's beautiful dress. I want to have it!


Please wait for the next post, Korean Fashion Terms (2)!!

Places to go when Korean people go on a date

Obviously, when Korean people go out on a date, they do the same things as other people such as going to a coffee shop, eating at a restaurant, going to the movies, going to a sport event, etc.

However, there are some places where Korean people like to go when they are hanging out with their friends or dating.

1. 노래방( Noraebang) Karaoke


Karaoke is a place where you can sing with your friends. Korean people love to sing. Even couples go to noraebang to sing together.

2. 커피숍(Keopishob) Coffee shop

As you can see, coffee shops are partitioned. They want to have private tables for them, so lots of coffee shops which are partitioned are popular among couples.


It is like you have your own private space to drink coffee (or make out?).


3. DVD방 (Dibidibang) DVD room

This is a place where you can watch movies in a very small theater. When you go inside, you choose what movie you want to watch and then watch it in a room.



Since DVD rooms can be used as hotels (some people go there to make out and more!), minors can not go there.

4. 멀티방(Meoltibang) Multi room

Nowadays, there are more multi rooms in Korea. There, you can watch movies, sing songs, play games, and drink coffee. You can basically do anything there. You pay per hour and spend time there doing anything.






Even though, the rooms look bright and cute and are advertising that the rooms can be used by minors, since the rooms cannot be supervised by adults, there are rumors that minors will be prohibited to go there soon.

Anyway, Koreans usually go to these kinds of places when they are dating other than going on a picnic, swimming, hiking, driving, etc. like any other people. :)

The place that you should go when you visit Korea - 찜질방 (Jjimjilbang)

Have you ever heard of 찜질방(Jjimjilbang)?

Since it is winter and cold, I really miss 찜질방 back in Korea. It is basically a public sauna. You go there to sweat out some bad things and warm yourself in this kind of weather. Korean people love to go there as a family or a group of friends.


People go there to sweat out and eat and sleep. It is really fun going there. There are some places that you go and sweat like a sauna.


There are some places where you can lie down and sleep.


After you sweat in a sauna, you can go to a hot spring or public bath and take a bath.


How nice!!!! Huh!!??

There is one thing that Korean people do when they go to Jjimjilbang. It is making a sheep-head hat (양머리Yangmeori) with a towel. A very famous Korean drama started this hat in Jjimjilbang, and people started doing it since then.

Check people's 양머리.





This is how you make 양머리.



When you go to Korea, make sure you visit 찜질방 if you don't mind washing in a public bathtub...(Of course, you need to get naked when you are taking a bath.)
