Oh, Konglish

Oh, “Konglish.” They try so hard, bless them.

Truth is, they probably don’t. I compared this one time with a Korean friend to when westerners get tattoos with some kind of foreign language to show how hard they are. Will it really matter if the Korean characters are a little off when you’re showing it off in, say, New Jersey? Think about it: dark and dork might be worlds apart in meaning, but in terms of them visually, they’re not so distant, are they? Exactly.

Here is a selection of gems I got just in casual shooting over the last several months. There will certainly be more, much more to come should I actually make an effort.

Taste and enjoy your happy time.

Drugs are illegal in Korea, so I assume this is referring to cilantro.

These are inferior to those “two star” ones, obviously.

Obviously superior in every way.

The world best coffee.

I wonder what A.P.T. stands for? Something important and “star classy.”

We’ll make you are special.
