(Hangul is the alphabet of the Korean language: The history of Hangul is really interesting so I suggest reading about it.)

8.48% of my readers are in Korea. A lot of them are foreigners living in Korea but I do get some Koreans reading my blog. So on the Facebook page I do get some likes from people whose name is only in Hangul. I can read Hangul so I had no problem reading their name out. My husband wanted to point out they were Korean which was obviously already evident to me! hehe

However, I am starting to notice people who are not Korean using Hangul for screen names or on Facebook, so it is possible that they might not be Korean. But in this example they had a pretty obvious Korean name. (When this happened it was not actually the name Kim Minji. I didn’t want to use a real name and a Korean friend was here when I drew this comic so we just thought of a really common Korean name to use).

If you want to learn Korean or even are just interested in Kpop and/or Korean culture I recommend learning how to read Hangul. The romanizations of Hangul are so different from how Korean actually sounds and Hangul is pretty easy to learn. When I first started Korean classes our teacher told us to never rely on romanizations and the sooner we learn how to read Hangul, the better. Correct pronunciation is of course much harder but even just being able to read Hangul to yourself opens up a whole new world.

Also, currently 207 likes on Facebook! Amazing for this little blog I started earlier this year.
