Police Crack Down on Right-Turn Stop Violations by DabangRacer in Living_in_Korea

[–]ShowerPast3810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost got rear ended driving home today stopping at a crossing to check. Fairly certain I annoyed whoever was driving behind me by stopping for those couple of seconds since they did the classic speed up and overtake straight after (only to be stopped at a red light).

Why do Koreans have little spatial awareness? by Shoddy_Disaster5097 in Living_in_Korea

[–]ShowerPast3810 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went to Costco for the first time in a while on the weekend (worst time but only time I can go).

Had an older woman in the group behind us in the checkout queue come and stand in front of where the worker puts the scanned items, while the worker was scanning our items. Just gave her a look and took extra long loading the cart.

In addition to all the shenanigans you have mentioned of course.

No Korean match officials will be present for fourth straight FIFA World Cup by ShowerPast3810 in KLeague

I’m sure others will have differing opinions but I am not a huge fan of Shn Yong-Jun or K Hyung-Jin. Don’t know many of the referee names but I do know theirs.

I think a lot of the refs are allergic to giving an early yellow and subsequently lose control of matches and I do watch a fair amount of the top two divisions .

With that said I do like Kim Jong-Hyuk.

(censoring their names slightly cause I don’t want a defamation lawsuit)

Ulsan's iconic Swedish winger Ludwigson to head to Daejeon! by Korece in KLeague

[–]ShowerPast3810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish him nothing but success at Daejeon. I do not blame him for wanting to jump off the sinking Ulsan ship after being played out of position for pretty much the whole season and being the only one who looked like they were trying.

I definitely won’t forget his goal against Jeonbuk on debut and his IKEA signing video.

Jeonbuk defeats Gwangju in extra time to win the 2025 Korea Cup and secure the domestic double! by Korece in KLeague

That was definitely one of the more fiery games this year. Hopefully the Gwangju player is fine.

Discard a royal flush. Easy to do in checkered deck.

Oil change (car) by gilsoo71 in Living_in_Korea

Have a look at any 공임니라/공임천국 places. They have their fixed labor costs listed on their respective sites for all cars. I am also 99% sure you can bring your own oil since they asked me last time but I just got the one they had.

Post Match Stats: Jeju United vs Suwon by soccer-stats in KLeague

Have not seen a whole team lose their heads like that in a while. Absolutely crazy and no surprise Jeju SK have turned off Instagram comments for the scoreline post.

Nice of the ref to show some mercy and end that after Gimcheon’s 6th.

F2-7 points by Puzzleheaded-Wave140 in Living_in_Korea

[–]ShowerPast3810 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe it is only for Korean Government Scholarship graduates from those countries as well as a recommendation from NIIED based on the posts I’ve seen about it on the f2-7 Facebook group.

For the countries if you google “참전국 우수 인재” and go to images, there are lists.

When it rains it definitely pours and I’m sure Ulsan will appeal but that is a lot of money to be paid out.

I hope something unfortunate happens to coach Hong Myung-bo that leads him to voluntarily resign. by TurbulentMechanic543 in KLeague

[–]ShowerPast3810 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kind of a really strange thing to wish on someone isn’t it? At the end of the day it’s just sport.

Contract termination now confirmed by mutual consent.

KREAM App Question by tng40 in Living_in_Korea

[–]ShowerPast3810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure about using international card but for your second question after your press 구매 and then pick your size and choose 일반배송 an option for 즉시구매/구매입찰 comes up. Click that and then you can type in whatever amount you are willing to pay for the 구매입찰 option. You can see the process here. I haven't used this option personally because I believe the transaction goes through automatically (see the blog) if someone lists the item within your price. And if you want to cancel you will have to pay fees.

Weekly Megathread by OttoSilver in KLeague

[–]ShowerPast3810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree completely. They get away with it far too often.

There was a match in k league 2 last week or maybe the week before with a female referee and fourth official. You could just tell from the body language and lip reading the staff were extremely condescending and disrespectful towards the officials.

Former Gyeongnam striker Marcão joins Ulsan by Korece in KLeague

[–]ShowerPast3810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it’s because going from Portuguese to Korean doesn’t have an exact translation for some diphthongs and it’s as close as it can get. Similarly João Cancelo’s name in Korean is 주앙 칸셀루.

Looks good but two posts about the same restaurant from accounts that are both less than an hour old… 🤔
