But one thing I got to say is that having been in both Japan and Korea, especially in Jeju, the ones in Jeju look a little bit different and they are very beautiful. And today we&#8217;re going to spill the beans on the different places that you can find these beautiful flowers on the beautiful island of Jeju.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">As always, I have my fabulous co-host Sora. Say hi Sora!<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (00:59)<\/strong> Hi everyone!<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (01:02)<\/strong> Annyeonghaseyo to you, Chingu! So why I mentioned Japan in the introduction is that before we recorded Sora, you had mentioned that the actual cherry blossoms on Jeju is endemic, is native to Jeju and is an entirely different species from the ones that you see not just on the mainland of Korea but also Japan. Can you tell us a little bit more about this?<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (01:28)<\/strong> So like when it comes to cherry blossom people usually think that most of the cherry blossoms are from Japan and that is actually true but in Jeju we have a king cherry blossom which is native to Jeju. So it was discovered in the early 1900s. So before then, we didn&#8217;t know that we have those native cherry blossom trees in Korea.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (02:00)<\/strong> So, King Cherry Blossom, even the name sounds competitive. Very Korean.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (02:06)<\/strong> Right, right.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (02:08)<\/strong> So in today&#8217;s episode, we are going to help our listeners figure out where they can see these beautiful flowers especially the varietal that is endemic to Jeju. If you&#8217;re somebody who really enjoys cherry blossoms just know that Jeju and Korea in general is a very good alternative to the cherry blossoms versus fighting the crowds and paying extra higher prices in let&#8217;s say Kyoto, Osaka or Tokyo in Japan.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">So with all that said, let&#8217;s look at some of the top five places that you like to enjoy cherry blossoms in Jeju. So what do you have for us today, Sora?<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (02:39)<\/strong> So in Jeju we have like many many cherry blossoms everywhere because we use this king cherry blossom tree for the main road as well. So when you drive through Jeju in those times you will see cherry blossom everywhere but still we have some specific places to go to see this beautiful scenery.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">So the first recommendation I have is Jeonnongro King Cherry Blossom Street. Jeonnongro is just the name of the street. Along the street, we have like lots of king cherry blossom all the way down. Those cherry blossom trees will make like tunnels, beautiful tunnels with like all over the flowers. And also this street has murals everywhere and Ed and Michelle really love those murals, right?<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (03:45)<\/strong> That is half true. So Michelle really loves those murals. Ed loves Michelle, so Ed has to bring Michelle to those murals. But yeah, the cherry blossoms, because we went there in the fall. But the murals were really amazing.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">It was really amazing that so many homes actually let their outer walls get painted. And so you have all these beautiful scenes of Jeju landscape or Jeju culture, like the Haenyeos or farming.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">If you go there for the cherry blossoms and you&#8217;re either too late or too early, the murals are still well worth a three to four hour visit there. And so yeah, I think for all that, this street is definitely worth visiting and should be one of the places that anybody who&#8217;s spending a few days in Jeju should make time for.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (04:38)<\/strong> Yeah, because for me the mural was not really special. I was like, it&#8217;s just like normal painting for me. But then like for foreigners I think it could be very like interesting to check out. It&#8217;s kind of paintings of the cultures.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (04:54)<\/strong> It&#8217;s got a lot of the Jeju native animals too. So like you have the deer, the Jeju deer and the Ganse, the Jeju horse. A lot of the paintings are going to be about haenyeo, doing different things on land or going to the water. You obviously have Hallasan appearing in multiple pictures.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">And it&#8217;s quite a big place. It covers multiple blocks and if you&#8217;re just walking around looking for different murals and they&#8217;re all different, it&#8217;s going to take you about at least an hour just to walk back and forth and take your time and take photos. As a person who lives in Jeju, Sora, you may take it for granted, but for someone who is visiting Jeju, it really offers a lens into life in Jeju, into the nature of Jeju and it basically encapsulates Jeju in all the murals on that street. I think that&#8217;s over, don&#8217;t quote me on this, there&#8217;s at least a hundred murals across the entire neighborhood.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (05:51)<\/strong> Also on the street there&#8217;s like many cute cafes. Like you know Koreans love going to cafes so there&#8217;s many cute cafes and like small souvenir shops and some restaurants so you can also have a look inside the souvenir shop. They have like you know many cute Korean stuff.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (05:58)<\/strong> That&#8217;s right. Yep. And if you&#8217;re frugal like me, there&#8217;s also a Mega Coffee.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">So, earlier, Sora talked about cherry blossom tunnels and I just want to elaborate a little bit because the street is not very wide. That means the trees aren&#8217;t very far apart and so the branches of the cherry blossoms they arc out over the road so when the cherry blossoms bloom it creates a tunnel effect. You don&#8217;t get that in other roads that Sora will talk about later because those roads are wider apart and so even though you have beautiful cherry blossoms in those other roads the branches of either side of the trees don&#8217;t touch in the middle and so you don&#8217;t actually have that same tunnel effect.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">So that is the first location, the Jeonnongro King Cherry Blossom Street.

It&#8217;s in the southeast of Jeju. So you have to drive like around one hour from the city. But this is really beautiful with cherry blossom trees and canola flower, the yellow flower together. And also you can see those windmills, wind power generators together.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (07:48)<\/strong> Just so I&#8217;m understanding you correctly.

Obviously cherry blossoms are there for like a week. How about canola flowers? They are there for much longer, right?<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (09:15)<\/strong> Right, canola flower actually started from winter. So it usually start blooming from February until April, May.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (09:22)<\/strong> Right. Okay. So, wow. So they&#8217;re there for like two to three months. So while the first location, Jeonnongro, the consolation prize are the murals.

Yep.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (09:37)<\/strong> Canola flower. And also the windmills.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (09:43)<\/strong> Okay. Yeah those two combined would be very scenic and if you get the cherry blossoms then it&#8217;s like the triple threat \u2014 cherry blossoms, canola flowers and those windmills.

Inside that university campus, we have lots of cherry blossom. So actually this place is for picnic for the people who live in Jeju. So if you are visiting you can also do like small picnic inside the uni.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (11:01)<\/strong> If they miss the cherry blossoms season, what is the consolation prize? Our first location, Jeonnongro, the consolation is murals and our second location, Noksan-ro, the consolation prize is windmills and canola flowers. What is the consolation prize if there&#8217;s no cherry blossoms in Jeju University campus?<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (11:25)<\/strong> In the university, you can have a glance of life of university students in Korea. There&#8217;s a beautiful garden, I would say. There&#8217;s a lot more trees and flowers in the university campus. So you can still take a walk, have a picnic or have some coffee inside the university.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (11:51)<\/strong> So I guess the consolation is basically just, you know, plugging into the young local vibe and having a picnic.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (11:57)<\/strong> And in front of Jeju Uni, there&#8217;s lots of cheap and good restaurants and cafes nearby. So you can have lots of local variety of restaurants there as well.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (12:09)<\/strong> Right. Earlier I asked you like where would people go after they&#8217;ve looked at the cherry blossoms and you said they can go to all these different places. My recommendation is if you&#8217;re in Jeju University already, the campus, you&#8217;re not far from Gwaneumsa temple. And so that&#8217;s actually a great side visit. Of course, you&#8217;re also not far from the Hallasan Gwaneumsa trail, but that is too much. But yeah, but actually the trail, the trailhead is quite interesting too. So if you go to the Hallasan Gwaneumsa trailhead, you can see the mountain, you can get great photos.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (12:55)<\/strong> So actually the temple, Gwaneumsa, was the film location of Extraordinary Attorney Woo. So if you have watched the episode of the temple, you will see the same scenery.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (13:03)<\/strong> Yeah. Okay.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (13:11)<\/strong> And also near the temple, actually we had another film location of Crash Landing on You. Have you watched that drama?<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (13:11)<\/strong> No, no, but I know that she crashed onto like North Korea and like, how did it end up in Jeju? But anyway.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (13:25)<\/strong> Anyway, because they needed to shoot that she&#8217;s in a forest in North Korea, but we cannot go to North Korea for that, right? So they found a forest in Jeju and then they filmed that in Jeju near the temple. So it was Jeju, not North Korea.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-9493\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"4\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-9493\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Samseong-hyeol \u2014 Traditional Architecture <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-9493\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e2a7b3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1e2a7b3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e557169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e557169\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [&amp;_&gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (13:52)<\/strong> So the next one I see is Samseong-hyeol.

You can just enjoy, appreciate the traditional architecture and the cherry blossom at the same time. It&#8217;s beautiful to take photos since we protected that area from like long time ago.

Similar format but different taste.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (16:08)<\/strong> And then there&#8217;s one other place that I found a great place to visit and that&#8217;s the Jeju, I want to say natural history museum. I think like four or five thousand won, I can&#8217;t remember, but that was a great museum.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (16:17)<\/strong> I think 1000 won.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (16:24)<\/strong> Only a thousand. Okay. Well, that&#8217;s like less than a buck. I love that museum. It wasn&#8217;t very big. It is not just natural history museum. It&#8217;s also a Jeju history museum. So there&#8217;s a part of the exhibit, I think, and correct me if I&#8217;m wrong, Sora, but there&#8217;s a part of the exhibit where you see the old Jeju city, you know, during the Tamna era and how it progressed through time.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (16:45)<\/strong> Mm-hmm.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (16:48)<\/strong> Yeah, if you go there and then you just miss, again too late or too early for the cherry blossoms, you could have lunch at the Noodle Alley which is \uad6d\uc218\uac70\ub9ac (guksu-geori) and then you can go to the Natural History Museum which is \uc790\uc5f0\uc0ac\ubc15\ubb3c\uad00 (jayeonsa bangmulgwan).<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (17:00)<\/strong> Science.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">And I&#8217;m checking the price. It is actually 2000 won, meaning like 1.5 USD.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (17:10)<\/strong> Okay. So that is a great tip. The last one on this list I see is going to be in the South. Okay. This is going to be near Seogwipo city. This is Cheonjiyeon Pokpo.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (17:24)<\/strong> Which is Cheonjiyeon waterfall. I&#8217;m very mindful that this is one of my tourist traps that I mentioned way earlier but tell us about Cheonjiyeon waterfall during cherry blossom season.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (17:25)<\/strong> I know Ed was talking about this waterfall is kind of small. I mean when it comes only for the fall you can say that. But for the strolling trail it is beautiful and during the cherry blossom season it&#8217;s gonna be full blooming everywhere in the trail. So and especially this waterfall they open until 10 pm so I would recommend you to go there at night for strolling around to see the cherry blossom in beautiful night light.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (18:21)<\/strong> This is also a paid attraction. So again, maybe three, four thousand won. It&#8217;s not going to break the bank. But know that it is not free.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (18:25)<\/strong> 2000 won.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (18:31)<\/strong> 2000 won. That&#8217;s like a dollar and 40 cents or something like that.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (18:36)<\/strong> We have a lot more places for the trees and flowers, like theme parks. So you can pay like less than 10,000 won. You go in and you&#8217;re gonna see like many different plants, trees, flowers. So of course they have cherry blossom and many different kinds of flowers for each season. So yeah, there&#8217;s like many places in the West and East as well.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (19:02)<\/strong> Got it. Yeah. So a lot of arboretums and botanic gardens and various places that you can actually go.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">I cannot believe that despite having spent so much time on Jeju, I have never seen cherry blossoms on Jeju. We need to fix that. I need to make sure I&#8217;m back there in March next year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-9495\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"6\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-9495\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Handy Korean with Sora Ssaem (\uc324) <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-9495\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1eb62a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f1eb62a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60bcd39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"60bcd39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (19:29)<\/strong> So everyone knows how to say Sakura which is the Japanese version of cherry blossoms, but we should learn how to say that in Korean. And for that, it&#8217;s time for Handy Korean with Sora Ssaem.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (19:43)<\/strong> Wow. Wow.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (19:47)<\/strong> So Sora, how do we say cherry blossoms in Korean?<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (19:51)<\/strong> So in Korean cherry blossom is \ubc9a\uaf43 (beotkkot). It&#8217;s kind of difficult to pronounce.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">So the vocabulary for today is that I think most of you have heard of this from K-drama. \uc608\uc058\ub2e4 (yeppeuda). Which means pretty.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (20:12)<\/strong> Is there any other way to say something is pretty or good looking?<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (20:16)<\/strong> So \uc608\uc058\ub2e4 you can use this for the flower and of course for the people, a person who is pretty. So you can also like be surprised, wow you&#8217;re so pretty, and it can be also saying \uc608\uc058\ub2e4. And usually we use this for girls and women.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Also for handsome, it&#8217;s \uc798\uc0dd\uacbc\ub2e4 (jalsaenggyeotta). This is like for a person who is handsome.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (20:42)<\/strong> Okay, you wouldn&#8217;t use this for cherry blossoms.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (20:52)<\/strong> No, no, not really. I think this is only for human. And also animal. But not a thing or plant.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (20:56)<\/strong> Okay. So if I saw Hallasan, I wouldn&#8217;t say, wow, \uc798\uc0dd\uacbc\ub2e4.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Soraya (21:03)<\/strong> No.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Ed (21:07)<\/strong> Okay cool. So today we learned three different ways of saying something is attractive. For cherry blossoms and women I would say, \uc608\uc058\ub2e4! Okay, and Sora too, what the heck. And then if I was to see a handsome guy like Jaden, Sora&#8217;s husband, I would say, \uc624, \uc798\uc0dd\uacbc\ub2e4!<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">And if I was to see a mountain, I would go, oh, \uba4b\uc788\ub2e4 (meositta)!<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">If you would like to see how those words are written in Hangul or in romanization, we invite you to check out our show notes.
