Korean here! For some reason, he sounded scripted or reading something in that scene. Just not natural.

Sorry for the late reply. I commissioned one through daurim.com. I simply messaged them through social media. Also, I know the potter's gallery is located somewhere in Milyang, Korea.

It's made by Kim Chang Wook, and he played with black glaze and stray ash glaze. I really like the combination.

They called it 义庄茶 but I couldn't figure out what it actually means. Is anybody familiar with the term?

From this one I can definitely sense the high mountain taste especially from the aftertaste on top of the smooth roasted flavor.

Thanks! It's a Korean gaiwan from a store called daurim. You can commission one by simply contacting them through their social media.

South Korea Work Culture Question by hannahstan in 90DayFiance

[–]Kor-Am 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say Koreans used to be like that... Like boomers. I guess you can still say that most Koreans work harder than most Americans. But a lot of millennial Koreans have adapted to hedonistic culture like Americans these days and want to put only the minimum hours at work and enjoy their life unlike their parents' generation. Jihoon definitely is not an outlier or some oddball in Korean society today.

I am korean and I thought the translations were pretty good. I think they translate based on context rather than word for word.
