He came home from work the other night and wandered around the apartment for a good while with his backpack still on but his jeans were already off.
Tag: my korean husband (Page 104 of 128)
Koreans seem to have this open dialogue about people’s looks that I’m not that used to. As a society they tend to be image focused and people’s attractiveness comes up a lot in normal conversations. I think my husband has unnerved some Australian guys more than once by leaning in and saying, “You are very handsome” to them. That is completely normal for Korean guys though.
So pretty much every time I’m hanging out with a group of Korean guys, particularly if we have first met, they’ll ask me to choose who I think is the most attractive. It makes me so uncomfortable! They’ll keep asking me to do it though, so usually I will finally choose. My choice often surprises them because I have different taste in guys than Korean girls usually. At that point I hope it’s all over but then they want me to choose the next best guy and so on. I flat out refuse at that point because someone has to be last right? I don’t want to hurt any feelings.
I’m not sure if they get me to do this because I’m a married woman and it’s safe to do without any misunderstanding or if since I met my husband I’ve just been around Korean men a lot more. I knew Korean guys before I met my husband but I hadn’t had this situation happen that much. Now I always expect it but I’m no better at dealing with the situation. (Just asked my husband and he seems to think it happens a lot to me because I’m a married woman).
The funny thing is my husband knows me so well that he can easily predict which guy I think is most handsome.
Koreans and their shortcuts….
So if Mr Gwon says, “Your face!” to you, he is insulting you.
Well at least he feels better about himself! He burnt himself because he was eating in the Korean style of just eating right out of the pot.
Our conversation can change dramatically where one minute we are being sickly sweet and lovey dovey and the next we’ll be like, “You are stupid!” “No, you are stupid!” Always just for fun though.
So like a lot of other Koreans, Mr Gwon went to The Philippines to learn English. He really enjoyed it there and tried to learn some Tagalog as well. And don’t worry, I know everything he got up to in The Philippines and it was nothing too bad, even though it was in his free and single days. We’d love to visit together some day.
Those that follow us on Facebook might have noticed a few photos of him with One Direction cardboard cut outs. There have been some around for promoting concerts and their movie and he always wants a photo with them.
I think he is a bit hypocritical. He can be negative about Kpop groups that are marketed at teenagers and easily dismisses them, but he enjoys One Direction! Not a big fan or anything, but likes some songs and we’ll sing them at noraebang (karaoke).
I think it was a One Direction money box or something.
