[Minji]

넌 언제나 늘 차갑지만, 내겐 말을 아끼지만,
난 알아. 너의 맘 애써 감추려 하지마

이젠 오랫동안 숨겨온 네 진심을 보여줘 다 있는 그대로
네겐 오직 나뿐 이라고

All I wanna do is just be with you
시간이 지나가도 don’t fade away



[Minji]

Hold on to this moment

이대로 사라질까 난 너무 두려워

[CL]

So just shut up and be mine
여기 니 앞에 있잖아
더는 망설이지마 지금 내 손을 잡아

Korean beauty standards

I have lived in both places, Korea and USA, so I would like to compare two different standards. I would like to state that this is pretty much just common beauty standard. Everyone has different taste, but there is some common features that people think when they are thinking about a beautiful woman.

When Koreans think about a beauty, this is what they think in their head.

1. Small head(face)

Lots of celebrities are famous for their small faces.

Koreans are obsessed with a small face. They even measure how long their face is on TV programs.

People value the ratio of their head to their body.

Korean celebrities show off their small faces by covering their faces with a cd.

Some people have big faces. They even cut their jaw bones so that they can have a smaller face. 

I don't know if you ever seen this, but we have this kind of tool to massage your jaw line so that you can have slimmer jaw line.

2. Big Eyes (Double eyelids)

You need to have big eyes with double eyelids. Sometimes you don't necessarily have to have double eyelids, but you NEED TO have BIG eyes.

Look at her eyes... So big and pretty.

If they don't have big eyes, they get an eyelid surgery.

We are obsessed with big eyes.

3. A slim body

You don't need to have big boobs or buttocks. All you need is a slim body.

No boobs, No ass. Just slim body. Slim legs.

4. Nice fair skin

Koreans associate fair white skin with innocence. If you have darker skin, people think that is more of sexy than innocence. People like to have nice fair skin so there is cosmetics to whiten your skin.

내 소원은 1년 365일 하얀피부

여성들 가을 겨울에도 피부 미백 관리한다.

If you translate this to English, it is

'My wish is white skin 365 days 1 year.

Women get their skin whitened even in fall and winter.'

If you look at this picture again, not only she has smaller face, she has whiter face since she is more beautiful. lol. This is a picture of an advertisement of a plastic surgery.

Anyway..

If you have all these features, come to Korea!!! You will enjoy your popularity. You might be able to get scouted to become a celebrity on Korean TV! 

Again... people have different tastes. Some Korean celebrities are dark or tanned. They are really popular and pretty!

Have a beautiful day! :)

Korean Baby Talk

Since I am using Korean to my baby girl, I get to use some Korean baby words to her. I try not to use it because I think it might not really necessary to use baby words and then teach her some 'adult' words latter on. But, I thought it might be interesting to list some Korean baby words. It is really easy to pronounce since babies are supposed to learn this easily.

1. 맘마 (mam-ma)
맘마 means food. The normal word for 맘마 is 음식(Eum-shik).
But we use 맘마 to babies.

Example: 유리, 맘마 먹자. (Yuri, Mamma Meokja) Yuri, let's eat food.

2. 지지 (jiji)
지지 means dirty. The normal word for 지지 is 더러운(Deo-reo-un).
You say something is 지지 so that the baby should not touch it.

Example: 유리, 그거 지지야. 만지지 마세요. (Yuri, geu-keo jijiya. Manjiji maseyo.) Yuri, that is dirty. Don't touch it.

지지 means support for adult words. If you say I 지지 Obama(오바마를 지지하다), that means you support Obama.

3. 까까(kkakka)
까까 means snack. The normal word for 까까 is 과자(Kwaja).

Example: 유리, 까까줄까? (Yuri, kkakka julka?) Yuri, do you want some snack?

Korean idiom (1) - Wait for someone/something bad

목이 빠지게 기다리다(Mogi Pajige Kidarida) 목이 빠지게 means 'as if the neck comes out', and 기다리다 means 'wait.' If you wait for something or someone so bad, you keep looking out like a crane.

If you crane so much, you stretch your neck so much that it might come out. This is not a joke. This is a real idiom of Korean. lol.

목이 빠지게 기다리다 means 'wait for something/someone really bad.'

Korean Slang (5) - 딸바보, 아들바보

1. 딸바보 (Talbabo)
딸(Tal) means a daughter. 바보(Babo) means a fool or a stupid person. If those words come together, that means a person who adores/ is crazy about/can do anything for his or her daughter. Most dads are 딸바보.

2. 아들바보(Adeulbabo)
아들 means a son. So you can guess what this means?? :)

Yep. We call a dad or a mom who LOVES his/her son. We call them Babo because this love makes them blind and a fool. hahaha.

So, James and I are both 딸바보!!!!!

Daddy and Mommy love you, Yuri!!! Muah!!

One more word before we call it a post!

팔불출 (Pal-Bul-Chul)
This means a man who keeps telling others how great his wife is. That is sweet, but if it just too much, people will call you 팔불출.
People used to use this usually to a man, but now we use this to any one (a wife or a dad or a mom).

I don't care people call me 팔불출. I love my baby, Yuri, and she is the cutest to me!!!!
hehehehehehehe.
