I practiced the lyrics of 사랑을 했다 by iKON. I have always liked this song and listened to it a lot of times. But before I started learning Korean, I did not know the specific meaning of each line in the lyrics. It was a great song with a mix of love and sadness. I think I learned a lot of new words by going through the lyrics.This song also have a lot of repeated words, so I can see the same word with different sentence structure. This helped me to learn more about the grammar and sentence structures in Korean.
I found a great website called wattpad. https://www.wattpad.com/572623886-learn-korean-through-k-pop-lesson-6-ikon-%EC%82%AC%EB%9E%91%EC%9D%84-%ED%96%88%EB%8B%A4
This is a website that can teach me Korean through KPOP songs. The above link is the webpage for the lesson on 사랑을 했다 by iKON. It picked out a section in the lyrics and break it apart in a few parts to teach.
This is the section it picked out of the lyrics. The website analyzed each line individually. It breaks the line into the corresponding sentence structure explains each individual part in terms of meaning and grammar. Here is the analysis of the first line in the section.
This website has been a help in terms of helping me learn this song. I think I can continue to learn more Korean using this website on other K-pop songs.
Yesterday, I went to a Korean restaurant with my friends and had bibimbap. Then I went home and wanted to learn the history of this dish. The name of Korean Bibimbap means “mixed rice.” A bowl is loaded with rice at the bottom, and topped with a selection of Sliced beef, a selection of sautéed vegetables called namul, and several sauces, usually soy, doenjang (a soybean paste that provides a salt and umami kick) and gochujang (chili pepper paste adding a spicy kick). An egg is then cracked on top just prior to serving. Bibimbap is only about a century old, but it derives from Goldongban, a dish involving the same concept, which emerged during the Joseon Period (14th-16th centuries). Goldongban had a ritualistic component. People ate it on the eve of the lunar new year, allowing people to clear out their pantries at the year’s end, throwing whatever was left over into their rice bowls, tossing it together, and considering it dinner. The first time bibimbap is mentioned by name is in a late-19th century cookbook, Siuijeonseo. Various theories suggest that it was a tradition dish for farmers during the harvest, as it could be easily made in large quantities to feed farmers. Most dishes seemed to be invented by people at the time because it best suits the situation.
