I have been exposed to the Korean language for years now through watching kdramas and listening to kpop. Because it's quite some time already, my ears have began to catch some familiar words/phrases from the lines of the actors and singers.
As part of my goal in learning Hangul (especially now that my trip has been officially set!), I am listing here some of the words that I have learned through the years. :)
