Hello everyone I went to a bud cafe with my friends yesterday. It was really fun!

Today, I'm going to introduce you to a bud cafe in Korea~ , 1️⃣ Korean Bread Cafe , We were hungry so we ordered a lot first. We ordered a lot of tteokbokki, chicken, and French fries, but we already ate more than half of it before we started playing the board game! The tteokbokki in particular was just the right amount of spicy, and the chicken was crispy and the sauce went well with it, so it was really delicious. French fries are always the best! There are also drinks and snacks at the cafe, so we could eat something simple while playing the game. , 2️⃣ Korean Breed Cafe - Spy Game , And we played a spy game! At first, everyone was quiet and watched each other closely, but as the atmosphere heated up, we became really focused on suspecting and deducing each other.

There were many moments where I burst out laughing and I really laughed. , 3️⃣ Korean Bread Cafe - Halli Galli , At the end, we also played Halli Galli. Halli Galli is a game that requires real reflexes and concentration! When there are exactly 5 identical fruits on the card, the first person to ring the bell takes all the cards that have been revealed so far. Everyone put their hands on the table and were tense, and we really focused on ringing the bell when there were 5 identical fruits. Halli Galli is a simple but tense game, so it’s fun every time we play it~ I recommend that you also visit a board game cafe when you have time! Have a nice day~

Hello everyone~ Dear Korean international students, are you paying the National Health Insurance premium every month? Then, what benefits can you receive through National Health Insurance? One of the most important benefits is that you can receive a free health checkup every two years. So today, I will share my experience of having a health checkup~ , 1️⃣ Pre-order , You must make a reservation at a hospital or health screening center in advance to receive a health checkup. You should call the hospital in advance to confirm whether you are eligible for a free health checkup. Generally, people born in odd years can receive a free health checkup in odd years, and people born in even years can receive a free health checkup in even years. After confirming, visit the screening center on the date and time you made your reservation. After presenting your ID and completing the registration, you will be guided through the screening process and order. , 2️⃣ Examination procedures, items , Before the full checkup, you will also change into comfortable checkup clothes. The first step of the physical examination is to measure your height, weight, and blood pressure. Vision and hearing tests may also be included, and blood will be drawn for blood and urine tests. After the checkup is completed, you can choose a method of notification (email, etc.) to receive the results later~ , National health insurance allows you to receive basic treatment and examinations for free, but if you want in-depth additional examinations, you will have to pay more. However, since national health insurance is applied, you can receive additional examinations at a discounted price compared to general hospitals! Since you can receive support through health insurance, you can receive examinations relatively cheaply. Therefore, if there are additional examinations that are necessary, it is recommended to check the cost and insurance coverage in advance. 😊 , Everyone, when you study abroad, your health is the most important. When you live in an unfamiliar environment, your body can easily get tired, so make sure to get a health checkup! You need a healthy body to be able to continue your studies successfully! 😊💪 Stay healthy~

hello! Everyone, a new semester has started. I feel excited and busy at the same time. I feel like studying abroad is always a mixture of excitement and challenge. I feel like I am learning and growing every day as I adapt to a new environment. Today, I will share with you my school life~ , 1️⃣ Life as an international student at graduate school 1 , I wake up around 8am, eat cereal and bread in the kitchen, and then go to school. Maybe because it’s still early, the hallway is quiet, and the reading room has a calm atmosphere. I put my laptop, writing utensils, and books on the desk and started studying. It was a little overwhelming at first because I had a lot of homework and reading materials to do since the new semester had just started, but once I sat down in the reading room and focused, I didn’t even realize how much time had passed! , 2️⃣ Life as an international student at graduate school 2 , After studying, I went to eat at the cafeteria with a friend! I was really hungry after concentrating so hard, but a bowl of warm soup and rice was just right. Today's menu was stir-fried pork, pancake, and salad. It was a bit unexpected that pineapple came out, but it was sweet and sour, so it was okay! It was nice to be able to talk about various things while eating with a friend, and to be able to cool my head for a little while. , 3️⃣ Life as an international student at graduate school 3 , After class in the afternoon, I went to a famous hangover soup restaurant near the school with my senior in the evening. I had a light lunch at the cafeteria, but I wanted something heavy for dinner. I went there with high expectations because my senior recommended it, and the soup was really rich and deep, so I was completely satisfied! I mixed rice in the warm hangover soup and ate it, and it felt like all the fatigue from the day was gone. , Today, I introduced my ordinary daily life. Of course, studying abroad can be difficult at times and I feel lonely at times, but as I fill each day, I am gradually becoming accustomed to life here. 😊 Hey everyone, are you busy these days? Have a nice day today~

Although there was no official merchandise sales for this exhibition, there were special experiential exhibitions and events prepared to provide a unique experience. , 2️⃣ Exhibition interior layout , Upon entering the entrance, the first thing that caught my eye was a large photo zone decorated with Taylor Swift’s signature image. The background of the photo zone was decorated with her lyrics and album artwork, so I could see the concept of the exhibition at a glance. It was a precious gift for fans, and a great place to take pictures even for non-fans. In addition, every part of the exhibition hall was optimized for taking pictures and videos, making it the perfect environment to share on social media. It was designed so that rather than simply viewing the exhibits, you could take pictures yourself and participate in various experiential activities to create even more special memories. , And I received a keychain and a friendship bracelet to commemorate my visit to the exhibition. This Seoul exhibition also provided keyrings and small gifts, making it an even more special memory.

It is a place with deep historical significance. There is Chinatown and Jayu Park near Incheon Station, so you can easily get there on foot. , 2️⃣ Incheon Travel - Chinatown , Chinatown is right in front of you as soon as you get off at Incheon Station! Chinatown can be called a small China in Korea. You can taste various Chinese foods here, but I would definitely recommend Jajangmyeon and Gonggalbbang.

The seagulls at Wolmido fly in and follow me as if they are begging for snacks. If you hold a snack like Saewookkang in your hand, the seagulls will fly in and eat it themselves.

The quality is really good, and the price is relatively cheap. , Today, I introduced several ways for Korean students studying abroad to purchase furniture for their own living quarters. All of the above are based on my personal experience, so you can also purchase directly from large stores like IKEA or use other online apps. 😊 Have a nice day today~

In such cases, Daiso is the best solution! You can buy various household goods, storage tools, and even kitchenware, all in one place, with good cost performance.

hello~ Everyone, you all know how expensive it is to move in Korea. It usually costs hundreds of thousands of won. This is my 6th time moving in Korea, and I was worried about how to move my stuff as it kept increasing. But I found a very cheap and convenient way to move, so I'm going to share it with you soon! 😊 , Just use the Kakao T app! Click on Quick Delivery in the app and select Damis Quick. Choose a vehicle based on the amount of luggage you have! Then just enter the information and you're done! , 1️⃣ Be sure to make a reservation in advance! , Kakao T Quick Delivery Service is much cheaper if you make a reservation in advance. You can significantly reduce the cost by making a reservation just one day in advance. However, if you call on the same day without a reservation, the cost can be more than double, so make sure to make a reservation with plenty of time to spare! If you want to save on moving costs, please remember that reservations are essential! , 2️⃣ Write down the amount of luggage in detail , When applying for the service, it is a good idea to write down in detail the number and size of the luggage you are moving in the notes section. For example, you can write something like "5 boxes, 2 carriers." This will help the driver move your luggage and prevent additional charges or unnecessary misunderstandings. For reference, I wrote it like the photo below! , 3️⃣ Moving luggage with the driver , If the driver helps you load or unload your luggage, there is an additional charge of 6,000 won. However, in my personal experience, this amount was not a big burden, and I was very satisfied because it saved me time and energy. The driver I met was particularly kind, and he carried almost all my luggage himself, so I only carried light luggage. , This method is not only much cheaper than using a traditional moving company, but it is also easy to use, so I highly recommend it to international students living alone!

hello Today, I applied for the 99th TOPIK exam. Are you taking the exam this time too? I will share some tips to help you successfully apply for the TOPIK exam this time! 😊 , 1️⃣ Which browser is faster? , I personally recommend Google Chrome browser! I have used many browsers, but Chrome is particularly fast and easy to use. That is why I always use Chrome. If you have been using other browsers, I think it would be a good idea to try Chrome this time! , 2️⃣ Pre-login is required! , Did you know that you can log in in advance when registering for TOPIK? If you go to the official TOPIK website, there is a button called 'Go to website (except for test registration)' at the bottom. If you click this button, you will be taken to the login screen. If you log in in advance, you can save a lot of time when you start registering. However, there is one thing to be careful about! You can only log in on one device, and it is better to avoid using multiple tabs at the same time. It may not be smooth when registering. Check it out before registering! , 3️⃣ Check the exact time with Naver Time , And the important thing is that Naver time is the most accurate! You can check it very accurately down to the minute and second, so you can try it right away when the application starts. To make the application more convenient, it is also a good idea to split the screen and open Naver time and TOPIK application page at the same time~ , Everyone, there is another TOPIK application tomorrow. I hope you all use the tips well and succeed~

Today, we will introduce some useful part-time job apps for finding part-time jobs in Korea! , 1️⃣ Neighborhood Part-time Job , One of the representative apps that helps international students easily find part-time jobs in Korea is Dongnealba.

Its intuitive interface and simple application process make it easy for beginners to use!

hello~ Hey guys, I found a studio apartment yesterday! I'm going to share some great tips on finding a studio apartment in Korea. I had to find a house in a hurry this time, so I visited 6 real estate agents in 3 days and looked at many houses. I've summarized the experiences I gained during the process. I think it would be helpful for you to refer to when you're looking for a house too 😊 , 1️⃣ How do I find a broker? , Everyone, please look for multiple brokers! Each broker has different properties, and it is best to go to a broker near the area you want to live in. You can find out if they are trustworthy by simply talking to them. Also, if you tell the broker what you want in advance, you can save time looking at unnecessary houses. Also, if you want to find a good studio, you need to look for it in advance. For example, if you are planning to move in mid-February, many good houses will be sold out starting in mid-January. I recommend looking in advance starting in early January. , 2️⃣ How to calculate brokerage fees , Most people go through a real estate agent when looking for a house, and the brokerage fee varies depending on the price of the house (deposit + monthly rent). If you search for 'real estate agent fee' on Naver, you can check the approximate amount through a calculator. By referring to this, you can get a rough idea of ​​how much the brokerage fee is. , 3️⃣ Be sure to check before signing the contract! , I recommend visiting the house at least twice before signing the contract. I checked the basic structure and location on the first visit. And on the second visit, I checked the interior facilities (for example, the condition of the lighting, the condition of the shower, whether the air conditioner was cleaned, whether the windows were damaged, etc.). And if there is a problem, ask the landlord to fix it before signing the contract, or make sure to include it in the contract through the agent! , If there are any other things that come to mind, I'll share them with you~ I hope you all find the home you want 😊 Have a nice day~

You can also see photos and videos of the rooms, and the size and facilities of the rooms are detailed, so you can get a feel for the room without actually going there.

Hello everyone~ When applying to college or graduate school in Korea, the study plan is an important document that can show the admissions committee the applicant's research capabilities. Especially for international students, it is important to emphasize how your research topic is related to Korea and how you will utilize your unique perspective. Today, I will share useful methods and tips for international students when writing a study plan. , 1️⃣ Clarity and specificity of the research topic , The most important thing when writing a study plan is to clearly state your research topic. The key is to describe your interests and research topic specifically and clearly state the problem you want to solve through it. For example, you should clearly set your research topic as “The impact of news reports on new media platforms on public opinion formation and the attitudes and opinions of the recipients.” In this way, clearly state the core topic that your research will cover and emphasize the social or academic importance that supports it. , 2️⃣ Emphasize research background and problem awareness, and present research methods , As an international student, you must explain persuasively why you want to do research in Korea and why the topic is important. It is especially important to describe how your background and experience are related to the research topic. In addition, it is essential to describe the methodology in detail in the research plan. It is recommended that you explain the specific methodology for conducting the research and logically explain why this method is appropriate. , 3️⃣ Academic and self-development plan , In addition to research, it would be good to include specific plans for your studies after admission in your academic plan. For example, you could write about how you will achieve academic growth through class participation, academic conference attendance, and collaboration with fellow researchers. , 4️⃣ Clear and concise language , Complex and long-winded documents can confuse the reviewers. Therefore, it is important to convey the main idea in clear and concise sentences. If you have difficulty writing in Korean, it is important to use simple vocabulary and sentence structures to convey your thoughts! , Today, I have shared some useful tips and tricks for writing a study plan. This is my personal experience, so I think you can just refer to it! I hope you all pass the exam~ Have a nice day today!

hello. Hey guys, when you apply to a Korean university or graduate school, a personal statement and a study plan are essential. I learned how to write a personal statement last year when I applied to graduate school on my own, and today I’m going to share with you some useful tips for writing a personal statement! , 1️⃣ Self-introduction and goals , First, you should introduce yourself briefly. For example, "I am xxx, an international student from China. I am currently majoring in Media Communication at xx University and will be graduating in xx this year. Based on my various media-related experiences and the knowledge I have gained through my studies, I would like to become a media expert who plans new content and connects the world." , 2️⃣ The process of study and effort , Next, you can write about the reason and process for deciding to study abroad in Korea as an international student. Those applying to graduate school can show what achievements they have made at the university. For example, "Since deciding to study abroad in Korea, I have worked steadily to achieve my goal. In XXXX, when I first encountered Korean, I obtained TOPIK level 6 in just one year, and since entering school, I have shown outstanding academic performance and maintained a high GPA of XXXX. In particular, I have proven my passion for studying by winning the International Student Scholarship every semester." , 3️⃣ Key experiences and achievements + linkage between major and experience , It is important to be specific about what you have accomplished in the past. Since accomplishments will vary from person to person, you can write based on your personal experience. It is also important to emphasize the connection between your experience and the department you are applying to. For example, if you are applying to the Department of Media and Communication, you can express it as follows: "I explored effective content creation methods by connecting my academic background and practical experience. I applied theories learned in media effects classes to actual video production and TikTok content planning, and contributed to promoting xxxx as an international student ambassador." , 4️⃣ Conclusion and Ambition , Finally, I recommend that you write a closing sentence and show your ambition. For example, "I want to continue to connect people through media and take the lead in creating content that changes the world. Based on my passion and experience, I will grow further in the field I am applying for and become a person who has a positive influence." This part also varies depending on the department you are applying to, so I think it would be good to just refer to it. , I hope you all pass~ have a good day.

Hello everyone When February comes, it is time for those who want to study abroad in Korea to start seriously preparing for their application to Korean universities. I applied to a Korean graduate school alone last year around this time, and this time I would like to share my experience with those who want to apply to a Korean university alone. , 1️⃣ Korean University Admission Guidelines , First, you should carefully check the recruitment guidelines of the university you want to apply to. In fact, the most important thing is the recruitment guidelines. Since each university and department has different application qualifications, submission documents, and selection schedules, it is important to check them carefully. In particular, it is a good idea to prepare necessary documents such as English or Korean language proficiency certificates, recommendation letters, and self-introductions in advance. Also, depending on the selection process of each university, there may be an interview or oral exam, so you should check the interview time carefully. , 2️⃣ Documents listed in the Korean university admission guidelines , You guys, in fact, you can prepare each document listed in the Korean university admission guidelines. Most universities have detailed information on their admission guidelines, so you can apply on your own. One thing to be careful of is that, for example, some universities require a family relationship certificate, and the date of issue of the document must be within 3 months. Also, some universities require original documents, while others only require copies, so please check these points carefully. , 3️⃣ If there's anything you don't know, be sure to ask , Although it is clearly stated in the recruitment guidelines, there may be special circumstances or parts that are not included in the recruitment guidelines. In such cases, do not panic or worry, but call or email the international exchange office of that school. The international exchange office staff will kindly answer your questions, so you do not have to worry too much. , What I want to say is that it is possible to apply on your own! Just prepare the necessary documents one by one, read the recruitment guidelines carefully, and proceed step by step. Also, any questions or problems that may arise during the application process can be resolved with the help of the International Exchange Office, so don’t worry too much about applying alone. Finally, it is also important to manage your time well. Plan and prepare your schedule in advance so that you do not miss the application deadline and the deadline for submitting documents. I hope you all get into the university you want~

Hello everyone😊 Do you like Korean food? Since I came to Korea, I have tried various Korean foods, and recently I tried Kodari for the first time. The name was unfamiliar, but people around me recommended it, so I tried it. It was surprisingly delicious and tasty. Today, I will introduce you to the Korean food Kodari. , 1️⃣ Korean Traditional Food - Kodari , I heard that Kodari is a dish made with dried pollack, and it was very spicy and sweet because it was heavily seasoned. It felt a little spicy for me, who can't eat spicy food well, but the spiciness was followed by sweetness and savory flavors, so I got used to it quickly. In particular, the chewy yet soft texture was really unique! , 2️⃣ Korean Traditional Food - Kodari Review , I think Korean food is attractive because of the harmony of spicy and sweet flavors, and I think Kodari is a food that shows that charm well. At first, it was a little unfamiliar, but as I ate it, I kept reaching for it because of the addictive taste. If you are an international student who is trying Korean food for the first time, I think it would be good to experience this kind of seasoning that harmonizes with traditional flavors~ , 3️⃣ Korean Traditional Food - Codari Cheonggukjang Set , In Korea, codfish and cheonggukjang are often served together. Cheonggukjang is a stew made with fermented soybeans, and is a traditional Korean stew. At first, I was surprised by the strong smell, but when I took a bite, the savory and salty taste was softer and more delicious than I thought. The spicy taste of codfish and the savory taste of cheonggukjang complemented each other, and the strong tastes neutralized each other, so I was satisfied the whole time I was eating. Since I ate both with rice, I really finished a bowl of rice in no time~ , Have you ever tried codfish? If not, why not try it while you are studying in Korea? Have a nice day~

Hello everyone😊 Have you ever been to Gyeongju? I lived close to Gyeongju when I was in college, so I went to Gyeongju a lot. Today, I would like to share with you my recent experience of visiting Gyeongju. , 1️⃣ Introduction to Gyeongju, Korea , Gyeongju is a city located in the southeastern part of Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. It borders the East Sea to the east, Cheongdo and Gyeongsan to the west, Pohang to the north, and Ulsan to the south. Gyeongju is a representative historical and cultural city in Korea. Gyeongju was the capital of Silla for a thousand years, so it has many historical sites and tourist attractions. , 2️⃣ Gyeongju Tower , I went to Gyeongju Expo Park. This is not just a park, but a special space where traditional Korean culture and modern technology come together. The most impressive thing for me was Gyeongju Tower. Gyeongju Tower is a unique building that reinterprets the image of the traditional Bulguksa Seokgatap in a modern way. When I went up to the observatory, I could see the beautiful scenery of Gyeongju at a glance. The harmony between the surrounding nature and the building through the glass windows of the tower was really pretty. Gyeongju Expo Park is a place where you can feel history and modernity at the same time, so it was a time when I could understand Korean culture better as an international student. 😊 , 3️⃣ Gyeongju Daereungwon , Daereungwon is a historic site where the tombs of the royal family and nobles of Silla are gathered, and it is said to be one of the symbolic tourist attractions of Gyeongju. The first thing I felt when I entered Daereungwon was the mysterious atmosphere. When I read the guide, it said that it was the place where the royal family of Silla from a thousand years ago was sleeping, so it felt like I had entered a place where time had stopped. In particular, Cheonmachong was the most impressive because you could go inside. I was able to see for myself what the inside of the tomb looked like, and I could really feel the splendor of Silla culture through the gold crowns and artifacts on display. , Today I have shared a part of my Gyeongju trip.

The reason I visited Homigot was because I heard that it is one of the most famous sunrise spots in Korea. In particular, Homigot is located at the easternmost tip of the Korean Peninsula, so I heard that many people gather here every New Year's Day to watch the sunrise. It wasn't New Year's Day for me, but the view from there was really pretty. The most famous landmark of Homigot Sunrise Square, the 'Hands of Harmony' sculpture, was also impressive. It was also a great spot to take pictures! , 2️⃣ Yeongildae Beach , After looking around Homigot, we went to Yeongildae Beach. This place is close to downtown Pohang, so it’s easy to access. The beach is clean and wide, so it was really nice to take a walk, and I felt relaxed as I walked while looking out at the East Sea. In particular, there are many nice cafes and restaurants near Yeongildae Beach, so it was a great place to spend some leisurely time after enjoying the beach. I had a delicious drink at a cafe in front of the beach and enjoyed the view of the ocean, which was really nice. , In addition, I also went to Pohang's Spacewalk. Spacewalk is a spiral staircase that you walk along, and as you go up, you can see the East Sea and Pohang city at a glance. In particular, if you visit in the evening, you can see the sunset and the night view of Pohang at the same time. It's really pretty~ , Pohang is a place where you can feel both natural beauty and a leisurely city atmosphere.

The moment I entered the entrance, my heart raced as I saw the roof with shining blue tiles and the traditional Hanok-like building. It was impressive even when I only saw it in pictures, but it was even more beautiful in person. The center of Seoul is always crowded with people and cars, but the inside of the Blue House was much quieter and I felt traces of its long history, which was very interesting. , 2️⃣ Review of the visit to the Blue House in Korea , The first thing you see when you enter the Blue House is the Presidential Office. There is a long conference table and the Presidential Desk, so it catches your eye at a glance. There is a lot of wood used in the building, so the overall feeling is warm and calm. In particular, the windows and door frames are engraved with traditional Korean patterns, giving off a very Korean vibe, and the gorgeous chandelier hanging from the ceiling makes it look even more luxurious. From the perspective of an international student, it seems like a great place to experience traditional Korean culture and modern design at the same time! , And on one side of the wall, portraits of past presidents hang side by side. Each frame contains the image of a leader who has been with us through modern Korean history. Looking at these portraits, neatly arranged like a small exhibition hall, the historical significance of the Blue House comes to mind more. , As an international student, the Blue House was a truly precious place where I could see and experience Korean history that I had only learned about in books. Also, I was impressed by the fact that the space that used to be the president's office is now open to the public and visitors. If you have time, please visit it too~ have a good day!

Hello everyone! It will be 2025 next week! Time seems to pass by so quickly. What plans have you made for the new year? Today, I would like to introduce you to the traditions of welcoming the new year in Korea. Let’s take a look together. , 1️⃣ See the first sunrise of the new year , The first sunrise of the new year is one of the special events that many people in Korea enjoy to welcome the new year. There is also a tradition of making a wish while watching the sunrise or praying for health and good luck for the year. Some famous places to watch the rising sun are Homigot in Pohang, Gyeongbuk and Ganjeolgot in Ulsan. Why not have a special time watching the rising sun on New Year’s Day? If you go to see the sunrise, we recommend that you prepare warmly as it is very cold on New Year’s morning! , 2️⃣ Eat rice cake soup , Tteokguk is a traditional Korean food eaten to welcome the New Year. Eating tteokguk symbolizes wishing for health and longevity for the year. This tradition has been passed down for many years and has become an important cultural element for Koreans to mark the beginning of the New Year. Tteokguk is mainly made with rice cakes, and egg custard, seaweed powder, thinly sliced ​​green onions, and meat are sometimes added. I personally think it is very delicious. This year, start the New Year with a bowl of tteokguk! 🍲✨ , 3️⃣ Sebae , On New Year's morning, the younger generation bows to their elders and expresses New Year's greetings. This is called Sebae, and the elders give them New Year's money along with words of wisdom. Sebae is an important tradition that symbolizes respect and harmony between families.

Chicken is a representative national snack and late-night meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and Korean chicken is recognized all over the world for its variety and taste. In fact, I have tried Korean chicken in China, and it was a little different from the chicken I eat in Korea. The chicken I ate in Korea was really delicious. The great thing about Korean chicken is that you can choose from a variety of flavors, such as basic fried chicken, spicy and sweet seasoned chicken, savory soy sauce chicken, and spicy buldak chicken. Also, chicken with unique flavors, such as honey butter and truffle sauce, is popular. 😊 , 2️⃣ Korean Kimchi Stew , For Koreans, kimchi stew is a food that warms the body and relieves stress in cold weather. There are many kinds of kimchi stew, such as pork kimchi stew, tuna kimchi stew, spam kimchi stew, and tofu kimchi stew, but I like pork kimchi stew the most. The rich taste of pork and kimchi go well together, making it the most basic, yet deep and delicious. The stew itself is great, but it tastes even better when eaten with simple side dishes like scrambled eggs or seaweed. , 3️⃣ Noodles , Gukbap means "soup" and "rice" in one bowl, and has long played an important role in the daily diet of Koreans. Especially in the winter, eating a warm bowl of gukbap makes me really happy. Each region has its own special gukbap, so you can enjoy different gukbap when you travel. There are many kinds of gukbap, such as pork gukbap, seolleongtang, sundae gukbap, ox head gukbap, and bean sprout gukbap. I personally like pork gukbap and sundae gukbap! , Today I introduced you to my favorite Korean food! I wonder what kind of Korean food you like. Have a nice day~
