Yep 식 is food, 구 is mouth. Number of mouth(s) eating food together = family.

I need advice from younger 🐠 who are closer to my son’s age than I am. He’s finishing up his 1st year in college and he’s gained the Freshman 15+. He plays a college sport, so he’s getting some activity, but with classes a hybrid of in-person and online, he’s not as active as usual and I think he’s enjoying unlimited food on his dining plan. I’ve heard jokes about the Freshman 15, but not seen how this plays out. Is this common? Do most people lose it when they adjust to college?

Hi peeps, Looking for thoughts on adding a social media feed to the homepage of our B2B Tech Industry website.

Maybe a banner ad on our homepage for the webinars is better? TYIA

People in Seoul, how does the 52 hour work law work out if you’re in consulting??

Working at T2 consulting company, I have the opportunity to go to Seoul for 2-3 years to help establish knowledge transfer and strengthen brand. I have spent 4 months on Korea previously and appreciate the culture and people (from my superficial understanding), however in non work setting.
I feel like it could be a great opportunity. However I do have some respect as I only speak very basic Korean and have heard bad stories about WLB. Thoughts/ Input on either?

Hey 한국🐠 I currently work in the US at a large game company (EA, Activision, etc), and interested in moving to Korea. I’ve had discussions with PUBG and NCSOFT in US but no luck in Korean offices. Advice for an American looking for roles in Korea?
