BTS Summer Package 2019 in Korea

Sorry side thing for Steph. (Or whoever may be interested) If you're at all interested in leaning Japanese or Korean, I don't know what phone you have, but if possible download an app called takoboto (Android only as far as I know, helps the way a dictionary would, it breaks Kanji down to hiragana, shows stroke order, definitions) memrise or drops are good for memorizing hiragana and Hangul (but writing it is best way to memorize) I think the owl app whatever it's called is cool for learning to listen and speak but it doesn't help much with reading and writing. I also learned to just YouTube some of the Hangul pronunciations with the phonetic alphabet so better understand where my tongue and lips should move to certain sounds. It's easy to find a phonetic alphabet chart and where those sounds are placed in the mouth. :3 As for books, the #1 of all books ever is Genki. I had bought all the books before going to school for Japanese and turned out they are the textbooks we had to use 😂 but it's so comprehensive and easy to understand. If you can afford it, it's a must for Japanese. Korean, I use the BTS ones with the pens, but I can't say if they're better or not than something else since I'm still new to Korean myself, so check how comprehensive the lessons are, do they use too much jargon, is it only conversational that you'd never use in public, specific to traveling, ect. I personally prefer a more casual form of formal learning, but if you just want the basics to survive a trip, learn travel level. Oh and the app Papago will be the greatest thing you ever take with you traveling. Best translator in existence. Happy learning!💜

The はしい I was thinking of is a plank of wood type bridge but ad た to the end of it. Hashiita 😅 so I probably could've used a better example but it served the purpose I needed it to

2025-01-15 17:09:08 +0000 UTCYes! Historical dramas 100%! Starting with Hwarang lol but totally recommend.. I think it's called Child of a Gumiho? That's what got me into kdramas. Mr. Queen is hilarious. My Country is just amazing (based on historical events) oooh and this one is slightly modern, but Live up to your Name is so good too. Honestly, I prefer joseon era dramas to modern ones ngl On the topic of language and learning Korean and Japanese phonetically. Wes, you might be having an easier time learning Japanese not only from karate, but Japanese is a phonetically consistent language. As long as you know the alphabet is pronounced as the Spanish A E I O U and comes in consonant+vowel pairs (Sa Se Shi So Su, Ma Me Mi Mo Mu) you can easily replicate any word (with minor trip ups on incorrectly spelled words like Kyoto kyo-to is actually supposed to be Kyo-u-to where the u elongates the o to ō) where as Korean is an interesting mix of a Chinese-esque (for lack of a better word) language with Japanese loan words, which makes it very inconsistent. Some words, intonation matters, and some words sound very similar to their Japanese counterparts (yakusoku vs yaksok-he) and then you run into problems like you did with the kimbap/gimbap. K and g are the same sound and p and b are the same sound since they use the same Hangul characters. (They also have sounds you hardly see in English, or pay attention to, which romanized you don't always know which is which, like eo vs eu) You only see 2 of that in Japanese with the H sound in Hi starting with your tongue near the roof of your mouth at the hard pallete, then you blow air through in a hiss sound. It makes it nearly an S, and the character for づ sounds like it should be Zu, but it's actually Dzu. These kind of problems only arise from the romanization of Asian words where we have to guess how to write sounds that just don't exist in the English language. A problem that would be easily fixed if everyone learned the phonetic alphabet, but that's a struggle bus and a half 😂 you think Hangul and hiragana are hard? Pff I learned both in less than a week. Phonetic alphabet? I took linguistics 3 times and still can't get it down because there is just WAY too many e's but I digress.. Anyway my main advice for learning either language is to learn the alphabet first! It's so so important as a foundation for how words are being pronounced and it makes a bit difference in the speed of your learning and overall listening comprehension, plus with Asian languages, the words you're saying can be impacted by the characters used. Hashi and Hashi look the same in English right? Which one is bridge and which is chopsticks? I dunno but written like はし and はしい I know to write hashii for the second one, and pronounce the i sound longer than the first one. (Tangental. Skip if you're not interested in language learning) Another tip I have (and it sounds easier than it is) remember that the language you are learning might not be in the same language family as yours so you need to avoid comparing the words of another language into yours in your mind. Instead, apply them to pictures or scenarios, because they don't necessarily mean the same thing. Eg. Arigatou gozaimasu doesn't actually mean thank you, and sometimes you'll want to say sumimasen instead. Arigatou = something akin to "you have graced me. I am humbled" (super condensed. Look at this for the full thing https://youtube.com/shorts/-8iueDKWSNo?si=ar1Ze_ZEScJLX4DR) Sumimasen = Excuse me used in apologetic and grateful contexts and also to get someone's attention in a "sorry to bother you" kind of way. Scenario: *someone picks up something you dropped so you say* "aa, sumimasen" Scenario 2: *Someone does you a favor* "Arigatou gozaimashita" Both can be translated as "thank you" in fact, there is also "doumo" and "sankyuu" to say thanks as well. There's also a million ways to refer to snow and you have to narrow it down by if you're talking about snow in general, or perhaps the little tufts of it on the trees. In English? "Snow" or "Snow on trees" lol English lacks so much depth sometimes. We just don't have words for the things Asian countries like to express, so if you try to compare languages in your mind, you're gonna be so confused. Gods, isn't language incredible? I could talk about it forever 😂

2025-01-11 18:44:28 +0000 UTCOkay,about what you said at 45.05 about being able to pick more stuff up on k-drama and animes than bts content I think the reason is Bts content is real life,so the members will be some times talking over each other,the editor's notes will be there and The member's don't always say thing the most "optimally" ig,cause they are real people being translated,while k-drama and anime,especially nowadays are "artificial content" made also for the understanding over a larger demographic than their origin countries itself,The characters especially in k-dramas are speaking very easily understandable things.

2025-01-09 13:34:10 +0000 UTCspeaking of tradition alcohol, jin now has a joint traditional tonic liquor brand out in collaboration with bts’s chef friend mr paik jongwon (the one who featured in his traditional alcohol series and on a few eps of run bts) called IGIN. it’s super sold out of course but you guys might be interested in it! if you could get your hands on some, i’d love to know your thoughts on it since you were curious abt korean traditional alcohol!

2025-01-09 08:25:58 +0000 UTCi love how stephanie goes aw whenever tae does anything because that it is me too!! he seems too endearing to me and so sincere i basically get such cuteness aggression whenever he speaks so softly. maybe my maternal instincts are waking up lmao even tho the guy is older than me heheh

2025-01-08 20:35:16 +0000 UTC1:52:42 there is variation in how you write certain letters in Korean! The "standard" or keyboard version of the letters is very minimalist and overall angular and easy to identify but there are variations of every letter (usually more wavy, curved) and it's hard to identify if you only have the standard alphabet in front of you lol

2025-01-08 16:14:26 +0000 UTCah this one summer package is so nostalgic to me

2025-01-08 15:05:26 +0000 UTC51:13 for some reason it really tripped me out to see Jungkook's naked arm here ahaha I'm so used to the tattoos and he had similar hairstyles when he already had them so this looked like photoshop to me for a second haha

2025-01-08 14:34:25 +0000 UTC46:00 picking up words from BTS/kdramas is so true. I only recognize a few words but I met a young woman in Busan from the US and she was basically fluent in Korean JUST from watching kdramas! She had no training or formal lessons or anything but she could order/ask questions in the restaurant etc. perfectly! I was amazed

2025-01-08 14:27:00 +0000 UTC54:54 I could be wrong but that wave intonation you said you heard suga using is actually can be due to his dialect. Suga was born in Daegu their dialect is known for a wave like intonation. Also if you guys are interested i saw somebody recommending that already but there is a Korean teacher on youtube that did a series of each member Korean it's super interesting you don't need to know Korean to watch it he explain everything there you can look up on youtube " billi korean teacher bts" and it will show up I really recommend watching he explain everything from tge member's dialects to their unique way of speaking I don't know Korean but it was really interesting

2025-01-08 12:45:20 +0000 UTCIf you’re interested you could watch Korean Englishmen channel to get to know more Korean/ just the cultures overall. It could be like a crossover of sidemen and bts since it’s a British YouTuber hahaha

2025-01-08 09:31:33 +0000 UTCSorry for spamming but summer in Korea is WET. Like it's so crazy humid and there are also monsoon rainstorms so you're always wet from sweat or rain lol. Like my first day it was 36°C (96.8°F) but because of the humidity it was actually like 48°C (118.4°F). Honestly wouldn't recommend the summer for visiting. Even all the Koreans said it's best to come in spring or fall haha.

2025-01-08 09:13:19 +0000 UTC5:00 when I was in Seoul I went to a small hanok village in the city and stumbled upon a guided tour (the village had a sign saying there are free tours at certain times and since the latest one had started like 5 mins before I arrived I just joined them - later I found out that the group was just one very big family from the US and they had a paid tour guide and I just literally crashed their party lmao but NO ONE said anything or asked me why I just joined them 😭). The guide told us that the reason for people to sleep, eat etc. on the ground in those times was that there obviously was no central heating at that time and they used the heat/steam from the kitchen to funnel it under the flooring of the room next to the kitchen. So you basically had floor heating and thus staying further away from the floor (high beds, tables etc.) meant loosing that heat.

2025-01-08 09:06:56 +0000 UTCI've seen that 3J cuddle in so many "cute moments" compilations but I hadn't seen the og video yet haha. It's so fun too to watch something for the first time with you guys!
Lela
2025-01-08 08:57:57 +0000 UTC1:44 you saw the service area in JK's 2022 vlog :)
Lela
2025-01-08 08:51:25 +0000 UTCOh wow wasn't thinking we'd get such a long video from you still after your comment about flooding! Hope everything is ok
Lela
2025-01-08 08:48:23 +0000 UTCWish they would come to Canada and go to Banff or Jasper. Awesome for Winter Packages. Lol, saying a ton of winter destinations but not Canada 🤣🤣

2025-01-08 06:00:45 +0000 UTCOh, look up hwachae recipes! There are super simple ones and others that add more things to it. Start with the simple. It's yummy! Milkys you should be able to find down an international aisle at a supermarket or at an east Asian supermarket. It's a good drink too. Recommend both 😊
Marissa K
2025-01-08 05:31:23 +0000 UTCAh not quite. Season 1 of BV was after Fire, but before BST. So not quite wings era. First summer pkg was before BV. In around, I Need You, probably after.
Marissa K
2025-01-08 05:29:11 +0000 UTCif you're more interested in korean language and how each member uses it, there's a youtuber with a channel called "Learn Korean with GO! Billy Korean". He has a whole series dedicated to analysing. each member and how they speak korean. It's super interesting.

2025-01-08 03:15:15 +0000 UTCif i’m not mistaken in the soop started during covid cause they couldn’t travel for bon voyage. so this summer package took place in 2019 which would coincide with bon voyage s4. im not good with the dates but just to give u a general idea s1 of bon voyage started in wings era which i think was also the same year the first summer package happened
Angela
2025-01-08 03:02:34 +0000 UTCthis is probably my favorite summer package and i was lucky enough to buy it when it came out, now i can't wait for you guys to watch the winter packages!
nessa
2025-01-08 01:50:55 +0000 UTCfor learning Korean (and other languages too honestly), i feel like i do it unconsciously due to the sheer amount of Korean content i watch and interact with. similar to what wes said, sometimes i notice this one word that i hear a lot and then that kind gets stored in my brain permanently and next thing i know i move on to learn more words, repeating that process again and again. learning Korean felt like such daunting task before so i never actively tried to start, but now even when i'm looking away from the subtitles a little, i'm still able to somewhat understand what they're saying and even make out the difference between some of the dialects spoken.

2025-01-08 00:56:28 +0000 UTCMachu Picchu mentioned 🤩 I need to watch that reaction of yours, I'm from Peru!!! I really hope BTS come here for a trip or something, I remember V saying that he wanted to go to Machu Picchu!!

2025-01-08 00:48:59 +0000 UTCI really do agree about the language thing and picking up stuff when ur watching dramas and whatnot. I've technically been learning the language for as long as I've been into BTS which is about 7 or so years coming up on 8 but only about a year at the beginning and what I'm doing currently that I guess I count as active learning? if that makes sense. I notice it more now since I'm in an actual Korean language class at college but over the years even though I haven't been studying I've been picking up words that I hear often and now even though I absolutelt suck at Korean I have a much wider vocabulary than I guess some of my other peers. But I will admit that I am better at picking up things like vocabulary and language since a lot go hand in hand with cultural aspects which I'm incredibly interested in.
Key !!!
2025-01-08 00:19:56 +0000 UTCMy fav summer package 😊. Then the winter ones 🙌. Love the gliding and Suga as a water deer. Flooding, do you not have a permanent sump pump installed and get your weeping tile checked. 2 things essential in keeping your basement dry. You may have already done both, but just in case 😉 There is also mold resistant building material. There are a lot of innovation in building, it's just researching for the right thing. Look up clover lawns. There are pros and cons to it like anything. It's actually a bit of a trend. Perhaps I know of it as I look at a lot of gardening videos. I would actually do creeping phlox. You can walk on it and it's incredibly pretty
Marissa K
2025-01-07 23:20:06 +0000 UTChonestly I would love to have a clover lawn if I ever have my own home one day. I heard it's lower maintenance, needs less water, better for the soil (for some reason I can't remember), attract bees, and they're great for the environment overall.
