Synopsis Island is based on a South Korean web series with the same name and premiered on December 30, 2022. The six-episode series talks about three people who meet by destiny to fight off evil monsters determined to destroy the world. This action-based supernatural drama has a lot of martial arts fight scenes and car chases! Read on to find out why we think you should be watching! 1. Lee Da Hee is perfect! After just the first two episodes, we believe Lee Da Hee is perfect for her role as Won Mi Ho, a conglomerate daughter who has been banished to the island of Jeju due to her misbehavior and causing trouble in the media. Lee Da Hee's character and personality from her previous role in Love Is For Suckers with Super Junior 's Choi Siwon shine through as she is perfect for her role as an innocent bystander caught up in a monster battle! Her relaxed and carefree attitude at times reminds us that she is an expert in creating comedic relief during high-tension scenes! 2. Cha Eun Woo is the hottest priest in the land! Astro 's Cha Eun Woo returns to the screen as he graces audiences with his good looks as a Catholic Priest Yohan. He performs exorcisms and works on the same case Won Mi Ho is on as his goal is to purify life and ward off evil. Eun Woo's calm demeanor during his scenes really sets his acting skill to the test as he graces the screen as a young Catholic priest who is wise beyond his years. 3. Jeju Island's Beautiful Backdrop! Set on the beautiful island of Jeju , Island definitely reminds us of summer days in the "Hawaii of Korea"! With gorgeous cutaway scenes in between the action, it takes your breath away and reminds you how natural beauty this drama is set in! 4. The Action Sequences Movie Quality! The fight sequences in Island are movie quality! It seems like the combination of computer-generated effects and much-practiced choreography was introduced to the characters as the main lead, Van ( Kim Nam Gil Emergency Declaration 2022), kicks and punches his way to save the innocent people around him! Born as a half-human half-demon, Van is raised as a weapon to rid all of the evil in the world and shows no emotion. That changes when he meets Won Mi Ho during their accidental run into each other during a monster mission. Watch episodes 1 and 2 of Island here ! So what do you think about our reasons?

If you haven't watched the K–drama " Bad And Crazy ", what are you waiting for? Go do it right now! You will not regret it! In episode 4, the main character Ryu Soo Yeol ( Lee Dong Wook Strangers From Hell 2019) is broke and forced to move back in with his mother when he says this: His exact words are: " 금방 나가, 금방 나가 " 금방 means "in a moment" or "soon", whereas " 나가 " means "to go out". So altogether we would translate it to something like: "I'll be out of here soon". Right then, though, Ryu Soo Yeol's alter ego, K ( Wi Ha Joon Little Women 2022), slaps him on the back of his head and corrects him by simply saying one word: " 요 ". What is " 요 "? It is the little suffix Koreans add at the end of their sentences when they want to be polite. It is especially used with people older than the speaker or in a higher position. So, in this scene, K is telling Soo Yeol to show more respect toward his mom. Interesting, right? If you go to Korea, don't forget to add this little particle at the end of your sentences!

Have you ever wondered what your favorite K-pop idol is saying in their songs? If so, you've come to the right place! Let's find out together! In today's article we will look at one of BTS ' most popular songs "Dope" and, more specifically, at the famous first line said by the leader RM. If you've listened to the song, you know what I'm talking about! His exact words in Korean are: " 어서 와, 방탄은 처음이지?". Let's look at it more in detail. "어서 와" literally means "Come quickly" but is commonly used with the meaning of "Welcome!". "방탄은" is "Bangtan" written in Korean, short for "Bangtan Sonyeondan", aka BTS. "처음" means "first" or "first time". That "이" there stands for the verb of the sentence, "to be". That "지" suffix though is where it gets interesting. We add "–지" or "–죠" in Korean to create tag questions . They translate to " isn't it?" , " right " and such. So, all together it would mean something like: " Welcome! This is your first time with BTS, isn't it? " Now, try to listen to the intro again and see if you can catch that! Feels good, doesn't it? If you had fun, then come back next Friday for more Korean lessons through your favorite K-pop songs or K–drama scenes!

#bts #suga #military #service Several South Korean portals reported on Tuesday December 13, that BTS Suga could complete his military service as a civil servant. The rapper is the second oldest member of BTS and is set to join next year. Suga was born in 1993 and will be 30 years old in March 2023. Jin, the oldest member of BTS , just turned 30 years old and officially started his military service on Tuesday December 13. In 2019, the star was diagnosed with "left shoulder posterior labial tear" , which means that his cartilage around his left shoulder joint was torn. The increase in pain and the inability to perform some movements led the idol to decide to undergo surgery to improve his quality of life and take care of his health. Through a message to fans in 2020 via WeVerse, Suga said: “Since performing is part of my job, I tried to avoid surgery as much as I could and endured with rehabilitation and injections. However, I was scared because it got worse and worse every time I performed.” According to the Edaily report, military authorities used Suga's shoulder surgery in 2020 as a justification. In some cases, depending on the complexity of the surgery and the severity of the injury, recruits may be discharged from full military service. Despite this, the agency reported, “ Even if they are assigned to public service, conscripts can go on active duty if they wish to serve in that way .” Big Hit Music said in response to the news, " BTS members will do their military service according to their own plans. It is difficult to confirm the artist's personal information." Among terms of work, civil servants have the longest years of work. Active duty soldiers serve 18 months, while soldiers assigned to government offices must complete 24 months of service. And what do you think about the enlistment of BTS members ? Do you think they returned as a full group in 2025? Let us know what you think about it in the comments! Source: KoreaIN, Recreio
