Hi guys, what do you consume when you can't poop lol? What's the Korean version of Fibemini? Thanks!

Hello. I am posting this for a close person who was assaulted and we both have no idea what to do next.

For context, my friend was at a friend's house with the friend's roommate, 3 people in total. The friend and the roommate are both men. They all were drunk and while my friend was sleeping on the couch the roommate sat on her legs so she couldn’t move and started groping her and even went as far as touching private parts directly. My friend was drunk and half asleep. After she realized what happened she called the police and she had to do a DNA test. The roommate was taken and I am guessing he was held for a certain amount of time at the police station. They have court tomorrow. I have never experienced anything like this before or know anyone who has. What are the next steps? How can I help her and what are good free services that’s available for support? Thank you any advice will be appreciated.

I'm currently looking for some snacks and sweets to bring back home for my friends and family, so I was wondering what your absolute favorites are.

If you had to recommend just one of each, what would they be?

Hey I recently went to Korea and live in America and was wondering what it may take to open something like a small taco/mexican food restaurant in Seoul. I really loved my time in that country and just want to invent a reason for how to come back + make some profit with some of the knowledge I have. So how easy/hard would it be to do this? I'm a total newbie and just need to get a baseline of general knowledge.

Hi, I’m planning to do a master’s in engineering at a regional university (not top 20) in Korea. I expect to graduate with around TOPIK 5. Would it be realistic to find a job there as a foreigner after graduation?

Thanks!

Hey all, has anyone transferred their stocks from a foreign broker to a Korean domestic one?

Was the process smooth? I imagine no taxation as there was no sale, just a transfer, but any high fees?

Thanks!

For example if I had my little dog in one of those backpacks with a bubble window and venting, would she be allowed into a pop-up if she stayed in the backpack the entire time?

I'm wondering if any of you need this kind of service. I'm currently doing some kind of internship 😅 and would like to know your thoughts.

Hi,

I will be moving to Korea soon. I am bracing myself to be confronted with an overwhelmingly pro-ai take there, but I would like to know more about any anti-ai movement that potentially exists in Korea. I currently live in the West, and the overall sentiment towards AI around me is very negative. I personally am against its use in daily life for ethical reasons. I was wondering if there are any Korean groups/influencers/media I could follow that are publicly critical of AI? I read and speak Korean if that helps.

Thank you!

Guys I have a question.

I don’t know if I’m overthinking this or what. I work at an academy which has five teachers. Me, one Korean and another foreign teacher including my employers. Weekly I have about 113 students and every week I get asked to check books and writing. At my previous school we were provided with writing textbooks so that the children can learn but this school has no writing books so I have to come up with the topics. Every week I have to set reading tests then check the tests including grammar tests. I overslept twice and was late to work and they gave me two written warnings stating that I would not be granted an LOR. There’s nothing I can do right. He literally just barges into my classroom and yells which has now given me panic attacks. I write daily reports every day and every Friday it’s a class report. I’m honestly exhausted.
