Growing up, Chuseok always meant a table set up in my grandma's yard, making songpyeon, staying up late talking with cousins. Back then I had no idea. This isn't just "some Korean holiday." Once you actually understand Chuseok, Korea gets pretty entertaining. Here's why 🚗 The whole country stops moving, once a year Roads around Chuseok get so packed people call it "the great national migration." A normal 3-hour drive can turn into 8 hours. And everyone still goes. Because family. 🥮 If it's not half-moon shaped, you failed The signature Chuseok food is songpyeon — not just a dumpling. You mix rice flour dough, fill it with sesame, beans, chestnuts, and shape it into a neat little half-moon. The whole family sits together and makes them. If yours comes out lopsided, getting teased is basically tradition. 🙏 Then things get serious In the morning, families hold a ritual called charye to thank their ancestors. The whole mood shifts from playful to reverent for a bit. Does your country have a day where everyone has to gather with family? What's the signature food on that day? 👇

I’m curious about everyone’s story 👀 For some people, it started with K-pop. For others, it was K-dramas, Korean food, a friend, a trip to Korea… or maybe something completely unexpected. And sometimes one small interest turns into learning the language, watching more Korean content, making Korean friends, or even planning a trip to Korea. So I want to know what was the very first thing that made you interested in Korea? And do you still love that same thing now? 😄 👇 Tell me your story in the comments!

How did you spend your Friday night? In Korea, we call Friday night “Bulgeum (불금),” which literally means “Fire Friday.” 🔥 It’s a fun expression because Friday nights are usually when people go out and enjoy themselves after a long week. As for me, I had pizza and fried chicken with my friends, along with a bottle of wine. 🍕🍗🍷 It was such a fun and relaxing night! How about you? What did you do on Friday night?

1.SEOUL - Seoul is the best city in Korea. Palaces and skyscrapers exist side by side — you can party in Hongdae one night, then head to Gyeongbokgung Palace the next day to wear hanbok and take pictures. Great food, cafes, shopping, K-pop Pretty much everything you can experience in Korea is in Seoul. 2. BUSAN - Busan has amazing beaches. Go to Haeundae or Gwangalli, eat some fresh raw fish, and just look at the ocean — that's real healing. Listening to the local dialect is fun too. There are also lots of pretty old villages worth stopping by. 3. GYEONGJU - Gyeongju is a city of history. Silla dynasty relics are scattered all over the city, so if you're curious about Korean history, this is a must-visit. It's even nicknamed "the museum without a roof." And oddly enough. 4. JEJU ISLAND - Jeju Island is Koreans' favorite vacation spot. There are countless beautiful beaches all over the island, and it's been used as a filming location for so many dramas and movies that you'll probably recognize a few spots. So, which one do you want to visit the most?😁
