A: Why are they boarding the plane first? We arrived here before them.
B: It's because they're a military family. In America, they are highly respected and receive certain special benefits.
A: I see. Totally understandable. Considering how much they sacrifice for our country, they deserve it.
B: Yes. They're defending our lives and freedom. It's great that their service is highly recognized.
A: What's the story behind the Dangun legend?
B: Legend has it that a tiger and a bear were given a chance to become humans.
A: That's... interesting. How?
B: They had to spend 100 days in a cave, surviving on only garlic and mugwort.
A: Wow, that sounds challenging.
B: Absolutely! The legend goes that the bear succeeded and became a woman.
She later married and gave birth to Dangun, Korea's founding father.
A: So, are you going to Greg's housewarming tomorrow?
B: I wish I could, but I have to go to a workshop. What a bummer.
A: Oh, it would be really nice if you could join us. I heard Greg has a really nice place.
B: That's what I heard too. Well, If it weren't for the workshop, I would definitely go.
A: Well, there's always next time. You'll be missed.
A: Is there a specific gift for housewarming parties in Korea?
B: Well, people generally like to bring laundry detergent, plants, or even toilet paper.
A: Wait, toilet paper? Why?
B: It symbolizes things going smoothly, like toilet paper rolling out. / A: That's interesting! Anything else?
B: Well, people used to give boxes of matches, wishing for their finances to be on fire.
A: Hey. Greg! Congratulations! Your place looks amazing!
B: Jane, welcome! Thank you. I'm really liking it here. Uh, did you have any trouble finding my house?
A: Not at all. Your directions were perfect. Oh, I brought you something. I hope you like it.
B: Wow, thank you! You really didn't have to. I told you to just bring your appetite.
Come on, let me give you a quick tour before we eat.
 

A: How was it for you to learn Hangeul? I know it's not easy for some people.
B: Oh, the basic characters were pretty easy for me. I learned it fast during my flight to Korea.
A: Is that right? You know, King Sejong and his team of scholars would've been very happy to hear that.
B: Interesting. So, Hangeul was created by a king? How awesome is that!   I wonder what his motivation was.
A: He really wanted to help people learn and write more easily.
A: There are 14 consonants and 10 vowels in the Korean alphabet system.
    So, here's what you do; you put a consonant and a vowel together to form a syllable.
B: Okay. That sounds easy. It's like building syllable blocks./  A: Exactly! I like the way you put it.
B: Thanks. It's fascinating to see how languages differ in their word formation.
A: Right. You can easily read words once you know the letters.
A: So, are we going to BIFF this year or not?/  B: Are you kidding me? Of course, we are going.
A: Great! I mean if you weren't going, I wasn't going to go, either.
B: What are you talking about? Going to BIFF has always been our dream, remember? I wouldn't miss it for the world.
A: That's the spirit. Guess what, I've already booked us tickets for a couple of movies./  B: That's my girl!
A: I can't believe we're finally here in Busan for BIFF!
B: I know! The excitement is so unreal!
A: And tonight's the big night! I've been counting down the days to see that film!
B: Yeah, same here. The trailer gave me goosebumps. And there's been so much hype about the movie.
    It's going to be an epic sci-fi adventure.
A: You're right. I hope the storyline lives up to the hype.
A: Well, that movie was just okay. What'd you think?
B: Yeah, it wasn't all that. Could've been more exciting, not enough action.
A: Exactly! The trailer hyped it up so much and it had such glowing reviews.
B: I know, right? I guess our expectations were too high.
A: Oh, well, at least we got to spend time together at the film festival.
