Questions from No Short Cuts To Korean.
1. Would you like to live in Korea ?If so,which celebrity you wanna meet?What will you say? I would love to live in Korea however I wouldn’t really go to meet celebrities. I want them to live your own life. If I saw one I probably wouldn’t even recognize him (I ran into Kim Jae Wook and I didn’t recognize him! – he wore a face mask and his military clothes though but still). But If I could say something I would just say that I love their music/dramas/movies and to keep up the good work.
2. Do you have a mannerism?What is it? Whenever I say I am pretty I do a really distinct hairflip that annoys my friends and didn’t even noticed I was doing until my friends pointed it out so trying to be a good girl and stopped doing it.
3. What is an ideal day for you? Just hanging around in a park with good friends, talking, having fun. Maybe enjoy a glass of wine or some 치맥 and just enjoy eachothers company.
4. If you could meet a person in the past who will it be? Marilyn Monroe. She is absolutely gorgeous and very charming I would want to know her secret.
5. What is your favorite subject in school and why? I don’t go to school at the moment, but in High School I loved biology and dissecting things. I especially enjoyed dissecting a starfish. I am just a curious human being that wants to know what stuff looks like, inside and out!
6. What is the most exhilarating thing you’ve done when you were young? Does 17 count as young? I traveled to Mongolia on my own when I was 17, defiantly a exhilarating experience.
7. What is something you can’t live without? make-up
8. What is the recent Korean word/phrase which seems to be running through your mind? 너무 힘들어 이해해주세요
so again I have been gone for a couple of weeks. I worked 40+ hours and almost litteraly eating myself due to stress and all I felt like doing was sleeping.
But fear no more, I’ll be back next week-ish. But first I want to thank the awesome people that nominated me for the Libester award. I didn’t expect to see that when I returned to my dashboard. But greatly appreciate it!
So I won’t be back to my usual posting schedule yet first I will be answering all asked questions and at the end I will nominate my five blogs.
I have told you my real name before, Wietske. However I have another name that I frequently use. Kang Seungmi. Kang Seungmi is my Korean name, if you have watched the video above you will know how I got that name. Now I will tell you how I got my last name.
My Korean last name is a whole other story and I only obtained it 2 months after I got my first name. I never imagined having a Korean first name, let alone a last name. I love my Dutch name, it’s unique and I think it truly reflects on who I am. I never wanted a Korean name, and I put up with all the butchering of my name because I would never ever ask someone to give me a Korean one.
Then my Korean name was given to me and I used it on a daily basis, if people couldn’t remember my name I told them just to call me Seungmi and that’s that. I didn’t even think about adding a last name.
Then on the day one of my best friends flew back to the Netherlands something interesting happened. She really didn’t want to leave, and rather leave with me. I would be flying back a week later and totally understood how she felt.
She cried and told me I should also leave that day, to ease her pain. Although I did want to ease the pain leaving Korea is something I hate and I would never ever think about leaving early. She knows that too, told me it was okay and then she fetched the freshly printed ticket from the machine. However she did not get one but 2 tickets. Someone must have forgotten her ticket, a person called Seungmi, Kang Seungmi.
And from that very day onwards I was not just Seungmi, I was Kang Seungmi. Me and my friends still laugh about this and she still complains that I should have left that day with her. She had my ticket so why did I stay!
Tell me, do you guys have a Korean name? tell me what it is and how you got it, I would love to hear some more interesting stories!
I recently found out about this website through my tumblr and I just had to share this with everyone else. My Korean Husband has funny and very recognizable comics. Like this one for example, now I don’t have a Korean husband, or even a Korean boyfriend. But I have enough Korean male friends that react in a similar manner. So if you have ever been to Korea I present you here with another website that can keep you occupied for hours – sorry-.
While you are at it, also check her Tumblr, and her facebook and follow her on twitter.
