I think a better expression would be "to regulate fermentation." Kimchi lasts quite a bit longer when stored in kimchi fridge, because (I assume) fermentation almost stops, due to consistently low temperature. But obviously you

Coming from the other side, you can make traditional kimchi fried rice and top that with mozzarella and run it on microwave for 30 seconds (or put it in an oven if you want to be fancy). Perfect match.

While we're talking about cool boring technologies... I once heard that Seoul's Bus Terminal Station, line 9, was a particularly difficult case. Line 9 had to go beneath existing line 3, but it couldn't go too deep because i

My neighborhood in Seoul got a new subway line while I grew up, I believe they used cut-and-cover (it was almost at the outskirt, so they didn't have anything else underground) and it took several years. So, while it's doable, it&

As a South Korean, I can ensure you that you won't find a single South Korean online who's upset that our country is "robbed" of the chance to give Kwon a slap in the wrist. When it was announced a while ago that Kwon w

Unfortunately, South Korean legal system is very lenient on financial crimes, and everybody suspects Kwon will get a slap on the wrist if he's sent to Korea. The fact that Kwon himself was fighting to be extradited to Korea should tell

That's just a generic argument that does not really address why South Korea is uniquely horrible in terms of fertility rate. Someone mentioned Finland: it has fertility rate of ~1.3, which is almost double of South Korea (around 0.7

Hmm, that doesn't match my experience. It takes me a lot more time to put dishes into the dishwasher, because it has different places for cutlery, bowls, dishes, and so on, and of course the existing structure never matches my bowls&#

I play piano as a hobby, and the funny thing is, if my hands are so cold that I can't zip up my jacket, there's no way I can play anything well. I know it's not quite zipping up jackets ;) but a human playing the piano does

Even for the same amount of living space, apartments are way more efficient. A typical apartment unit is surrounded by other units up/down/left/right, so only two sides are exposed to outside air. A single house is exposed

The story is even wilder: because Yoon was a former prosecutor who went after the previous conservative president Park, when Moon (the previous liberal president) appointed Yoon as chief prosecutor, it was initially widely opposed by conser
