You probably didn't know the Korean name for this body part!

If you've been keeping up with our podcast journey, you'll know we love diving deep into the fascinating world of Korean. In our latest episode, we had a blast exploring some Korean body part names.From the basics like 머리카락 (hair) to quirkier expressions like 동공 지진 (literally "pupil earthquake"), we cover a diverse range of words.

But, as you know, our episodes are never just about vocabulary. We delved into the context, cultural nuances, and even touched upon how certain body parts play a role in Korean beauty standards. Ever wondered about what to call that cute little fat below the eyes (Hyunwoo didn't know the word!) or why we refer to the cupid's bow as 입술산 (literally "lip mountain")? We broke it all down for you!

And for our seasoned learners, we don't stop atthe intermediate level.We venture into advanced territory, introducing some more fun words entirely in Korean, too!

Whether you've been with us since episode one or just tuned in recently, this episode promises a perfect blend of fun and learning. 🎧🇰🇷😉
