I’m Joel, an Englishman living in South Korea. I’ve been living, learning, and loving everything about South Korea since 2015 and I’ve developed a love for hiking in the mountains, trying lots of different and unique dishes, exploring cities, temples, and getting out as much as possible. I teach English at a university in Korea right now, before that I was teaching elementary and middle school students. I also run a travel blog all about life in South Korea called inmykorea.com

Americans call them buttons

The Korean words say "no owner" literally, which actually does mean "I'm single".

Yeah, it's a simple difference but can lead to lots of mistranslations.

You should work for a Korean fashion store ;)
