Let's Study Korean Language !

When we want to learn Korean, the first step to do is learn to read Hangul (Han-Geul / 한글). Just info, in ancient times when people use the Korean Hanja writing, which is identical with the ancient Chinese writings. Only posts that include logograf (ideograf), in which each character represents a word or morpheme. For fluent reading and writing posts Hanja, Korean people have to memorize a lot of form letters, a result only the educated are literate. Then, in the mid-15th century, Sejong the Great (세종 대왕), Joseon dynasty king who reigned in Korea at that time, have an idea how to improve the literacy levels of the Korean people, that is by creating an easy to learn featural alphabet, Hangul.

Here I want to share a practical way of studying the Korean (Hangul characters). A Hangul character is composed of two or more units. The unit consists of a few consonants and vowels, namely:
14 basic consonants + 5 double consonants 

ㄱ

ㄴ

ㄷ

ㄹ

ㅁ

ㅂ

ㅅ

ㅇ

ㅈ

ㅊ

ㅋ

ㅌ

ㅍ

ㅎ

g

n

d

r

m

b

s

-

j

ch

k

t

p

h

ㄲ

ㄸ

ㅃ

ㅆ

ㅉ

kk

tt

pp

ss

jj

6 basic vowels + 15 derivatives (+ i, + y, + w)

ㅏ	ㅓ	ㅗ	ㅜ	ㅡ	ㅣ		ㅐ	ㅔ	ㅚ	ㅟ	ㅢ
a	eo	o	u	eu	i		ae	e	oe	wi	ui
ㅑ	ㅕ	ㅛ	ㅠ				ㅒ	ㅖ
ya	yeo	yo	yu				yae	ye
ㅘ	ㅝ						ㅙ	ㅞ
wa	wo						wae	we

Way of preparation of these units are generally above → below, or above → bottom right →.

From the picture above, note also that there are some consonants that would change the sound when placed under a (final), among others:

ㄹ: from 'r' so 'l'
ㅇ: from no sound to be 'ng'
ㅅ: from 's' so 't'     

In conclusion, for the control of Hangul, we actually only need to memorize the form of units 20, 14 base + 6 vocal consonant base. Moreover, we quite understand the patterns of improvisation in each unit, whether didobel, + i, + + w or y. This is what makes writing Korean (Hangul) is much easier to learn than Chinese characters or Hanja.

Infinite Kill All Music Chart

Just like the group’s name, Infinite is proving it seemingly has no limits.

Within a day of the release of the group′s third mini album on May 15, Infinitize has managed to take the top spot on the online music charts of Melon, Mnet, Cyworld Music, Bugs, Olleh Music and Soribada, giving them a clean and clear all-kill.

Additionally, on some of the charts, such as Cyworld Music and Naver Music, the tracks from Infinitize have managed to take all five of the top five spots despite heavy competition from such artists as Kim Junsu and IU.

Infinite had previously expressed confidence in the quality of their tracks in this album by stating that all the album’s tracks were title track-worthy.

After having successfully held its ”The Mission” five-city fan meeting tour on May 15, the group will hold its comeback stage performance on the May 17 broadcast of Mnet’s M Countdown.

INFINITE cares more about their looks now compared to their debut days

During an interview held at the Seoul Olympic Hall on May 15th, member Woohyun stated, “Many have complemented us that our looks have improved since our debut.”
He continued, “We weren’t too concerned about our looks when we made our debut. However, now we all receive special skin treatments and our make-up artists also pay more attention to details than before to try to help us look even better.”
‘Visual’ member L also added, “All the members are gradually finding their own style. Now each member has a hairstyle and stage oufit that suit them well.”
Regarding the question on who changed the most since their debut, leader Sunggyu answered, “I think it would be Sungjong, who recently turned legal. Not only his looks, but also his personality has grown more manly and mature.”
In addition, Woohyun stated, “We transformed our image for our comeback by cutting my hair short, Dongwoo dying his hair blue, and Hoya dying his hair purple.”

Hoya has been confirmed for new sitcom

Infinite's Hoya announced that he would be trying his hand at acting.
At INFINITE’s showcase for their third mini-album INFINITIZE that was held on May 15th, member Hoya remarked, “I will be trying my hand at acting this year. I have been confirmed for a new project that will be broadcast through tvN in the near future. It’s a role that requires me to use a dialect, so I am currently practicing.”
Hoya has been confirmed for tvN’s ‘Respond 1997‘, which will also feature other artists such as Seo In Guk, Eun Ji Won, Jung Eunji, Sung Dong Il, and more. It is a situational comedy , and the backdrop is the entertainment industry in the 1990′s.

Sunggyu Admits he was scared to travel by helicopter

Idol group INFINITE held their ‘Mission Showcase’ on May 15, traveling to five different cities by helicopter in a single day to introduce their third mini-album to their fans.
Ahead of their Seoul showcase, the boys held a press conference at Olympic Park.
Member Sunggyu shared his thoughts on traveling by helicopter for the first time. “It was my first time riding a helicopter, and at first, the members were all scared. I held on to my seatbelt,” he said. “But I grew accustomed to it, and we talked a lot about the performance and about our fans, enjoying the free time.”
In regards to their ‘The Mission’ showcase, the members said, “When we first started planning this mission, we asked ourselves if it would be possible to cover five cities in a single day. Thankfully, the members and the staff worked really hard and now we only have one show left in Seoul.”
The boys who returned with a much more grown-up image also shared, “We think that Sungjong is the member who changed the most.”
“Sungjong officially became an adult this year,” Sunggyu said. “He became much more masculine and mature. He is a rather tough and rugged guy, both on the inside and out.” But different from what was said about him, Sungjong who was seated next to Sunggyu gave a rather bashful smile, evoking laughter.

EXO-K interview for Heraldm (SEHUN)

“I’m very shy with strangers but once we get closer, I have the kind of personality to go until the end. I’m the mischievious style who likes to joke a lot. Haha. I’m a special case because I was offered to join SM during my 6th year of elementary school through street casting but I rejected it and
then during my 2nd year of middle school I passed the audition and got in. I started my trainee life then.”


“Rather than rivals, I want to become like Shinhwa seniors. I want us to become a long lasting group that will continue to promote even after 10 years. That’s why we talk a lot to each other.”
