Hey fediverse please help! I'm looking for a #Korean and #English speaking #interpreter for some short immediate work on an art project interview series. Pays well, and very short requirements, and not very involved. but will need to start pretty soon!!

#Japan decided not to appeal Saturday's court ruling that ordered compensation to #Korean comfort women survivors of sexual slavery by Japan, but actual compensation remains uncertain without Japanese government cooperation.
Did you know that the place with the most "#qi" in #Korea is a #mountain?
Qi translates to "breath". It is a force within the body that keeps one healthy. It is a prominent concept in many #Asian#belief systems & underlies #Chinese#medicine.
Gyeryongsam is an 845m high mountain in Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea.
Doseon Guksa, a #Korean#Buddhist#Monk from the 9th c. saw the mountain as perfectly positioned for Feng Shui.
I finished 아직은 고양이 by 정선임 (Jeong Seon-im), the second story in the collection 여름 기담.
The collection is in two volumes and the book covers are really cool. I couldn’t resist buying both! The stories in the “spicy” 매운맛 book should be more scary than the “mild” 순한맛 book.
The back covers are really well done, with all the information being related to the book (for ex, the nutrition facts lists the authors, the storage indication says “on bookshelf”, etc.). #Korean
Short and sweet, but packs a whole lot of punch, this Korean drama is about a mystical bar where people can find help to solve their "grudges" and the mysterious people who run it.
🚨 #Korean hacking group #Lazarus Group targets defense industry and nuclear engineers with fake job interviews, using trojanized VNC apps to steal data and execute commands.
Fewer Koreans are getting married due to rising costs of weddings and apartment rentals. In this context, the decrease in marriages may be the leading cause of the country's falling birthrate since most couples only have children after marrying.
Tasted the famous #Korean#WalnutCake. This one also had #RedBeanPaste in it, and it was pretty tasty. I liked the contrast between the #walnut and sweet red bean paste.
In #Korean#folklore and #mythology, dragons are often divine or potentially divine creatures and many #dragon tales revolve around them attaining godhood by ascending to the sky.
In a typically misogynistic take, it's said that a woman commenting on a dragon's ascent or even catching sight of it will frustrate the flight and send it plunging back to earth, where the former sky-dragon candidate becomes a yimugi or gangcheol (the equivalent Western terms may be wyrm, serpent, or wyvern) that harms people and agriculture.
On the flip side though, aren't these stories also testament to the power women have, that a nameless village woman merely LOOKING at a being on the cusp of heavenly power can drop it right back to the ground? Who would win: Dragonling rising to power over the skies and the weather, or one random bitch?
I'm looking for a way to add a Korean calendar to my #samsung calendar ( without using Google calendar )
On the samsung smartphone I'm able to add the lunar #korean#calendar but that's not enough to show me 추석 and others fest .
Any tips?
Fedifriends, I'm looking for opportunities to get better at reading #korean, so if you know any korean speakers on fedi and people who toot mostly in korean so I can follow them and practice my reading skills, feel free to recommend them to me!
Also, I'm interested in any account who shares trivia & knowledge about the korean culture, even if they post mostly in english!
You seldom see strong fashion stories on @medium (a shame IMO, because we all wear clothes and they say so much about us). But the young Medium writer Jee Young Park show how well they can work in this story that defends the controversial 2024 MetGala by showing how much she valued the museum as a Korean-American growing up in New Jersey:
OK so #Korean has two number systems and they’re used for different things - fine. But you count hours with native numbers and minutes with Sino numbers?! So to say 3:45, the 3 is native and the 45 is sino? C’mon guys I’m tryna learn a language here 😭🤪
It was 69% complete, right below the threshold. Since then there has been no significant change. If you are a K-9 Mail user and a native Korean speaker, please consider helping out.
