Hello, this is Uptempo Marketers! A Polish fantasy writer Andrezej Sapkowki said “ Human greed knows no limits.” The German philosopher Georg Hegel said, “The only thing that we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.” George Bernard Shaw said “If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.  A famous meme in Korea (above) reads “ Human greed knows no limits, and they repeat the same mistakes ”.  인간 means human 욕심 means greed 끝 means an end 없다 means don’t’ have 같은 means same 실수 means mistakes 반복 means repeat This meme pokes fun at the human foolishness of repeating the same mistakes : Humans tend to be greedy, realize and regret that greed is bad, become greedy again, and then regret it once again.  Ex) “작년 블랙프라이데이에 이것저것 지르고 몇 달을 고생했는데, 이번 해에도 쇼핑 갈 것 같아. 인간의 욕심은 끝이 없어” = “I went on a shopping spree on Black Friday last year, and it caused me months of misery.

[Korean Culture & Language] The Origin of 짜장면

이미지
Hello, this is Uptempo Marketers! Ask any Korean what they’re planning on eating they day they move to a new place, and the answer will most likely be 짜장면 (jja-jang-myun) . Topped with a thick black bean sauce and garnished with diced pork and vegetables, this Korean-Chinese noodle dish is considered a classic comfort food that’s cheap and easy to eat . You’d be hard pressed to find a person who makes this dish from scratch at home. Rather, the norm is to get it delivered from your local Chinese restaurant or nowadays, buy it as a prepackaged meal from the supermarket. source:   https://ko.wikipedia.org/ Up till the 1980s and 90s however, 짜장면 was a delicacy meant only for special occasions like graduations and birthdays.
