What does “oppa” really mean in Korean?

Many learners think oppa simply means “older brother,”
but in Korea, this word carries emotions, relationships, and social signals.
In this video, we explore
why Koreans are careful with the word oppa,
how its meaning changed over time,
and when using it can feel natural — or uncomfortable.
If you want to understand Korean beyond vocabulary and grammar,
this video will help you see how language reflects Korean culture and relationships.

"What is the greatest invention in history?" Most people might think of the light bulb, penicillin, or the smartphone. But today, we want to look at inventions that are a bit closer to our lives—inventions that contain the unique spirit and wisdom of Korea.

From the Coffee Mix that fueled Korea's rapid industrialization to Hangeul, the alphabet designed for the empowerment of the people. These aren't just tools; they are solutions born from a deep love for humanity and a desire for a better life.

In this episode of K-jin, we explore the 'Why' behind Korea's most significant inventions: 

✔️ Coffee mix, made for busy people
✔️ Cyworld, an early social media from Korea
✔️ The world’s first rain gauge
✔️ Jikji, the first metal-printed book
✔️ Hangul, a writing system made for the people

"How old are you?" In many cultures, this is the ultimate rude question. But in Korea, it’s the very first thing people need to know. Why? Because without your age, a Korean person feels like they are "driving in a thick fog."
In this episode, we go beyond the surface. It’s not about judging you; it’s about survival. We’ll explore how age acts as a "Social GPS" that determines every verb ending and level of respect in a conversation.
