How to Say "I'm Sorry" in Korean – A Glass with Billy Episode 1

미안합니다. 죄송합니다. These are just two ways that Korean people say "I'm sorry." But these two phrases don't work in every situation. In some cases, you'll want to use the verbs 안타깝다 or 안됐다, or the phrases 어떡해요 and 유감입니다. Each one is a little different in meaning, and also has a different use.

I met up with Jonson Lee from SpongeMind to chat a bit about this question. Check out his website (and also his YouTube channel) for more~!

Find out their differences, and when to use them, in this first episode of the new series "A Glass with Billy."

Korean War Stew - BUDAE JJIGAE (부대찌개)

BUDAE JJIGAE (부대찌개) originally means "army soup" and comes from the Korean War (1950-1953).

It's the perfect fusion of American and Korean cuisine, made with food that was common after the Korean War.

There are many ways to make it, but all of the recipes share most of the same common ingredients - tofu, canned ham, cabbage, rice cake, green onions, and even ramen.

Watch me enjoy some 부대찌개 here~

Korean Grilled Ribs – GALBI (갈비)

갈비 (GALBI) is one of, if not THE BEST dishes that you can try while you're in Korea. But it's certainly not cheap.

Of course, all kinds of Korean BBQ are worth trying. And there are a lot of kinds you can try, including 삼겹살 (SAM-GYUP-SAL), 보쌈 (BO-SSAM), and others. This dish is on the next level above everything else.

The smoky flavor you get from the meat, the varied and beautifully-arranged side dishes, the fancy atmosphere of sitting at a table in Korea and having the meat cooked for you (instead of cooking it yourself), and the dipping bowls you get for adding an extra bit of flavor to your meat. All of these combine together to create one of the best food experiences that you can try while visiting in Korea without burning a hole in your wallet.
