English What is the sign that foreign visitors see most often when they first come to Korea? It is probably "Coffee Shop" or "Cafรฉ." In fact, there are more than 100,000 coffee shops in Korea. It is common to find cafรฉs on every street, and sometimes even two or three cafรฉs in the same building. Because of this, Korea is sometimes called the "Coffee Republic." For Koreans, coffee is a part of everyday life. Many office workers stop by a cafรฉ before work or after lunch. It is also common to meet people who drink two or three cups of coffee a day. The most popular drink is the Iced Americano. Koreans often shorten it to "Aa" (์•„์•„). Some people even drink iced Americanos during the cold winter. There is a funny Korean expression for these people: "Eoljuga" (์–ผ์ฃฝ์•„), which means "I'd rather freeze to death than give up my iced Americano." If you visit a cafรฉ in Korea, you will often see people studying or working on their laptops. These people are called "Kagong-jok" (์นด๊ณต์กฑ), which means "people who study at cafรฉs." Most cafรฉs offer fast Wi-Fi and power outlets at many seats, making them a comfortable place to work as well as relax. Korean cafรฉs are also very different from one another. Some are famous for beautiful desserts, while others are known for their stylish interior design. There are animal cafรฉs where you can spend time with dogs or cats, and book cafรฉs where you can enjoy reading. Many Koreans even enjoy visiting different cafรฉs as a hobby. They spend the day taking photos, trying new drinks and desserts, and exploring unique cafรฉs. This is called a "Cafรฉ Tour" (์นดํŽ˜ ํˆฌ์–ด). Does your country have a similar cafรฉ culture? If you visit Korea, what kind of cafรฉ would you like to visit the most?

Is it bad to go to a funeral before a wedding?  A story about a man who had a conflict with his fiancรฉe and her mother after attending his close friend's funeral has recently become a hot topic in Korea. The story began with a post shared on an online community for office workers. A man went to the funeral of his close friend, who suddenly passed away, about four months before his wedding. However, after he returned home, a big problem began. His fiancรฉe and her mother did not think he should have gone to the funeral. This is because some people in Korea believe that attending a funeral before a happy event, such as a wedding, can bring bad luck. The man believed that attending his friend's funeral was the right thing to do. However, his fiancรฉe's family believed that traditional customs were more important. After the story was shared online, many people expressed their opinions. Most people said, "If it is your close friend, you should definitely go to the funeral." Others said, "Since the wedding was coming soon, he should have talked with his fiancรฉe first." In the past, many Koreans believed that attending a funeral before a happy event, such as a wedding or the birth of a baby, could bring aegun, or bad luck and negative energy. Today, many people no longer believe this. However, especially among the older generation, some people still take this traditional belief seriously. Because of this, people in Korea often have different opinions. Some believe that traditional customs should be respected, while others believe that our moral duty to other people is more important. What do you think?
