안녕 아리! 👋🏼 Thank you for another GREAT podcast! As I finally watched 오징어 게임 a couple weeks ago, it was very interesting to see the political narrative that drove it. Thanks for sharing these insights with us!

Please see my voicemail script for this week below:

1. 골프 치는 거는 진짜 심심하다.

2. 브로콜리가 좀 심심해요.

3. 심심한 위로를 전합니다.

감사합니다! 💜 좋은 하루 보내세용! 🤗

안녕 리사👋 Thanks for your podcast review! It means a lot to me ㅠㅠ💖 You did a great job with your Korean speaking as always! I'm impressed (and agree😅) with the first sentence. You did great using 거 for making a gerund. You can also make the sentence shorter using 건 instead of 거는. It would be 골프 치는 건 진짜 심심하다. Either way is fine!

항상 감사합니다 for completing my podcast with your lovely voice! 리사도 좋은 하루 되세요😄

안녕하세요!

팟캐스트를 듣고 메시지를 부렸어요. 이번 팟캐스트 화가 너무 재밌어요. 오징어 게임을 안 봤는데 앞으로 보고 싶어요. 그리고 저는 내년에 대통령의 election을 따라갈 거예요.

메시지 중에 이렇게 말했어요:

1. “안녕하세요! 저는 이앙입니다.”

2. “배 고파 죽겠다.”

3. “김치볶음밥이 좀 심심해요.”

4. “잘 부탁드립니다.”

감사합니다! 이번주 잘 보내세요!

안녕하세요, Ian👋 Happy to hear that you enjoyed the podcast :D This election is very interesting because of these two extremely different candidates. The ex-factory worker candidate is winning in most recent polls.

Thanks for sending me your voice message! Your pronunciation is really good and your sentences are perfect! The only small thing to correct is your second sentence writing. There's no space in 배고프다. So it should be 배고파 죽겠다 instead of 배 고파 죽겠다.

새해 복 많이 받으세요🙏💖

"The front runner is a son of rich family who says poor people deserve low-quality food that doesn’t even meet safety standards. "

I can't fact check this but it honestly sounds like typical political propaganda. Same was when the American media falsely reported Trump saying people should drink or inject themselves with bleach to treat COVID.

The media did not falsely report that Trump suggested injecting disinfectant as a treatment for COVID. He made this comment publicly during a White House briefing, which can be seen in this video: https://youtu.be/33QdTOyXz3w?t=24

"The second runner is a handicapped man from a poor family. His family was so poor that he became a child factory worker at 12. His left arm is twisted from press machine accident. His campaign promises are the opposite of the front runner. "

What does his personal biography matter? Look at what his predecessor and party have done. Intimidating North Korean defectors into stop sending leaflets to North Korea. This is suppose to be the "good" party in your eyes? Moon Jae-In is a human rights lawyer. This is what a former human rights lawyer does? Whatever the other issues this is the worst sin.

Hi, dongwha! Thanks for your opinion. First of all, if you read closely, I didn't write that Democratic party is a 'good' party. I just talked about the extreme difference of the two candidates' economical background which reminded me the characters in the series. (Seong Gi-hun used to be a factory worker just like the second runner) And I didn't talk about Moon Jae-In at all. It's not about him at all;; Also I believe personal background does matter. It affects or determines the candidate's life and beliefs so we need to look through? it when we elect the President.

You said American media falsely reported about Trump in another comment. But this Korean candidate case is not false. To your and many Koreans' surprise, he really said it in front of many people. You can watch the video here 👉https://youtu.be/5KI5mRjOU8g?t=64👈 I don't have any reasons to spread false propaganda to anyone and especially my subscribers who are not Korean citizens;; His words made me think about a scene in the series in which (SPOILER!!) players are served poor-quality food (END OF SPOILER) so I wanted to share it with my subscribers.

And I have an update! According to most recent polls, the two candidates are neck-and-neck now. The election is getting very competitive!
