I just got to LA this morning for the concerts, and Iโ€™m waiting in the hotel lobby to check in! I heard that the line for merch is hours long, so Iโ€™m getting nervous about whether Iโ€™ll be able to get there in time today ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Either way, Iโ€™m soooooo excited!! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’› Maybe Iโ€™ll make my script for this weekโ€™s voicemail about my concert experience! ๋„ˆ๋ฌด ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค for the vocab for the concert ๐ŸŽถ Iโ€™ll practice screaming the sentences from the crowd tonight! ์•ˆ๋…• for now! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ

OMG!!! So happy for you, Lissa!! You must be very excited! I believe the concert starts in just a few hours. Hope you have a great time ๐ŸŽ‰ You can brag about it by sending me some photos on DM ๐Ÿ™ I'll be very fine with that ๐Ÿ˜Š So happy to know at least one of my listeners can use the Korean words in time :D ์ฝ˜์„œํŠธ ์ž˜ ๋‹ค๋…€์™€์š”๐Ÿ’œ

๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค ์•„๋ฆฌ! I was (and still am) very excited ๐Ÿ’œโœจ๐Ÿ™ˆ I am a crazy person and bought tickets to all four shows ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I got nosebleed (far away) seats for all the shows, though, because we can't spend all our money ๐Ÿ˜… They have been sold out of the merch that I wanted to buy both days so far, so I will have to try again. I will DM you pics of the shows! I should have some pics of ์„์ง„์˜ ๊ท€์—ฌ์šด ํ—ค์–ด์Šคํƒ€์ผ that he wore during the concert encores that I can send to you! He wore pigtails the second night, which kept making the other boys giggle, especially ์ง€๋ฏผ ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Here is my script for this week:

๋ฐฉํƒ„ ์ฝ˜์„œํŠธ ๋„ˆ๋ฌด ์ข‹์•„์š”! ๋ณด๊ณ  ์‹ถ์—ˆ์–ด์š”! ๋ฐฉํƒ„์†Œ๋…„๋‹จ์€ ์ง„์งœ ์žฌ๋Šฅ์žˆ๊ณ  ์ž˜ ์ƒ๊ฒผ์–ด์š”! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ˜

์˜์–ด๋ฅผ ๋งŽ์ด ๋งํ–ˆ์–ด์š”! ๐Ÿ’œ ๊ท€์—ฌ์› ์–ด์š”!!

๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์ฝ˜์„œํŠธ์— Megan Thee Stallion ์™”์–ด์š”! ์žฌ๋ฏธ์žˆ์—ˆ๋‹ค!

๋ฐฉํƒ„ํ•˜๊ณ  ์•„๋ฏธ๋“ค ๋ณด๋ผํ•ด์š”! ๐Ÿ’œ

P.S. ์ง€๋ฏผ said, "๋ณด๊ณ  ์‹ถ์—ˆ์–ด์š”," to us one night, so I screamed it right back! Thanks again for the concert vocab! ๐Ÿ’œ

๋ถ€๋Ÿฌ์›Œ์š” ใ… ใ…  So you're doing ์˜ฌ์ฝ˜ which means going to all concerts of an idol in a city or a country. It's a Korean K-Pop fan slang which came from 'all concerts' in English. I received your pics and they made my day ใ… ใ…  ๋„˜ ๊ณ ๋งˆ์›Œ์š” ๋ฆฌ์‚ฌ๐Ÿ’œ

You did a great job as always with your Korean speaking & writing! Nothing to correct ๐Ÿ’ฏ So happy to hear that ์ง€๋ฏผ said the sentence! ๐Ÿ™ƒ I picked the right vocab!! Proud of myself ๐Ÿ˜Ž Hope you have a great time for the rest of your days in LA ๐Ÿ‘‹

Hi, ์ƒจํ…”์”จ๐Ÿ‘‹ Hope you go to a BTS concert soon! You did a great job with your Korean speaking! I loved that you sounded very natural and comfortable! Nothing to correct๐Ÿ’ฏ My Korean ARMY friend's bias is ๋‚จ์ค€ too! I love his charisma :D

I saw that you come to Korea next year in another comment. Good for you! Hope you have a great time in my country๐Ÿ˜ I might go to Seoul next year so if your school is in Seoul, maybe we could meet. It would be cool! ์ข‹์€ ์ฃผ๋ง ๋˜์„ธ์š”๐Ÿ‘‹

์•ˆ๋…•, Chantelle! I hope they will go to Scotland next year! ๐Ÿ’œ I really believe Europe will be their next stop, especially since it sounds like they are still unable to do live concerts in South Korea. Do you have a trip to Korea planned? I really hope to go there sometime soon, but I will have to wait and see. It would be so fun to explore South Korea and to get to use the Korean I have been practicing.

I love that you used ์˜ค๋น  in your script for this week. Such a cute touch! You always add cute tidbits to your voicemails, which I find so fun. ํ™”์ดํŒ…! โœจ

Awww, youโ€™re the sweetest! Thank you so much ๐Ÿ’œ I try to study everyday, even if itโ€™s for only a few minutes a day or if itโ€™s rewinding my K-drama to see how they express certain ideas using the Korean subtitles ๐Ÿฅฒ I also always think that your Korean is really, really good!! I miss your voice when youโ€™re not able to submit an assignment ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ™ƒ

Wow, are you doing a Korean study abroad? That sounds so exciting! Iโ€™m so happy for you! Maybe you will be fluent (or close to it) when you get back home to Scotland! What an amazing opportunity ๐Ÿ’œโœจ I hope to hear stories from your travels in your newsletter voicemails and comments! ์ข‹์€ ํ•˜๋ฃจ ๋˜์„ธ์š”!! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ

์•ˆ๋…•, ์•„๋ฆฌ ์ผ€๋ ˆ๋‚˜์˜ˆ์š”! I love Korean culture because it's really complex and there are many different sides to it. Getting to learn about the language and the food and its history is really interesting, especially since it's so different from what I'm used to in the US. With the language, I like that ํ•œ๊ตญ์–ด has so many layers so you can learn new stuff all the time. K-pop really stood out to me because it has a unique style to it, yet is always changing, plus the performances, songs and lyrics of many groups are very well done and just on point. (you can tell I'm a bit obsessed ใ…‹ใ…‹ใ…‹) That was longer than I expected ใ…Žใ…Ž!

๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค for the podcast this week, I hope the concert goes well tomorrow and just wondering, is your BTS bias ์„์ง„? ;)

์•ˆ๋…•ํ•˜์„ธ์š”, ์ผ€๋ ˆ๋‚˜๐Ÿ‘‹ Thanks for your 2 cents! I agree that Korean culture is very different from the US and western culture. I think that's one of the biggest reasons we get interested in each other's language, food, and music, etc. I love English because I feel like a different person when I speak it. I feel I become more confident and free? :D

Yes! My BTS bias is ์„์ง„๐Ÿ’œ He's sooo good-looking๐Ÿ™ƒ I love ์ง€๋ฏผ too for his dance. I also love ์ œ์ดํ™‰ for his rap ... I guess I love them all ใ…Žใ…Ž
