Have you ever wondered how to talk about new years resolution in Korean?
I will teach you.
New years resolution in Korean is called 새해결심
새해 meaning a new year
결심 meaning a decision.
if you want to ask somebody what their resolution is you can say:
To a friend : 너 새해결심이 뭔데?
To older people: 새해결심이 뭐예요?
Reply:
Formal: 저의/제 새해결심이 술을 끊는 것입니다 / 거예요
Informal: 나의 / 내 새해결심이 술을 끊는 거야.
Eng: My new years resolution is to quit drinking.

Hello I know I haven’t posted in a long time but I thought now would be a great time to post this message.
I know this is quite a sensitive topic but I would appreciate if all my followers of this blog would spread this message.
Recently on the News there has been a lot of talk about a possible nuclear war that could happen in East Asia. Many people who will be travelling to South Korea,Studying in South Korea,Moving to South Korea, are scared of what might occour in the upcoming months and even years.
Since I have been studying Korean for so long and watching a lot of South Korean news I have seen a huge pattern over the past 8 years regarding North Korea and South Korea.
I and my other friends (who are in fact from South Korea) really think that western media and main stream media are over reacting to what is really happening.
If we look at the activity within South Korea today, we can still see that live is continuing as normal, and people living in South Korea, whether it be foreigners or actual citizens are still going to work, taking their kids to school, getting married to Koreans or other foreigners.
Why is this? because this has all happened before, in fact a lot of times already.
About 3 years ago North Korea issued a warning that all foreigners should evacuate South Korea because there would be a war. Did the war happen?…No
Did foreigners evacuate? No…well not that I know of.
Yes North Korea has fired a missile over Japan, but North Korea are not stupid.
North Korea know that if they go to war that South Korea, Japan, and the USA would beat them before the can even say 시발. (Sorry for my cussing).
If we look at the whole of East Asia all countries except China, and North Korea. (Russia is not apart of East Asia) are all democratic societies
The end of North Korea would mean that China would be the only communist country in the whole of East Asia and people may start demanding democracy within China. Of course China does not want this so they will continue to stop North Korea from going to war.
If the peninsula went to war that would means huge refugee problem for China.
China really do not want this at all, so therefore they would stop North Korea from even dropping a nuclear bomb over South Korea.
So please do not be worried about what you hear on the media. America and other western media have discussed the likely hood of war in East Asia for many many years so please do not pay attention.
If you want true facts go ask South Korean people, or watch South Korean Tv.
This is my own conclusion and my own thought, I wrote this to calm the minds of people who are planning to live in South Korea in the future, or wish to travel to Korea, or even thinking about studying in South Korea in the near future.
Thanks for reading.

I watched this maybe two weeks ago and I thought it was quite mediocre. Average at best. Frankly I don’t even remember why I thought it was mediocre exactly… That is to say, it was simply forgettable. I remember the character development being shallow and some of the twists requiring some big leaps in logic/forced suspension of disbelief. It could have been way better, the concept was not bad. Anyone who’s been in an office space at night when everyone’s gone will tell you it can get kind of creepy. Not knowing if you’re truly alone. Unfortunately this film didn’t capitalize on that at all. The main redeeming thing here is Go Ah Sung. I think she had a pretty good performance.
Anyways, I’d say you can safely pass on this one. It’s definitely not terrible but it’s not good either, especially when South Korean is pumping out so many other high quality thrillers.
