Blind dates are quite common in Korea. Learn more about Korean culture as you learn Korean with KoreanClass101.com! We finally get to see a blind date(소개팅) in action. Minho (민호), one of the characters in our story has gone on a blind date. We see another side of him that we may not have expected before. As two people are meeting for the first time today, they’ll be using very polite language(존댓말), essential on any blind date for meeting people for the very first time. So after you listen, remember to stop by KoreanClass101.com and leave us a comment!

I’m too young unfortunately. But wouldn’t it be fun. A friend and I once tried to set up a friend of ours to a blind date with a girl but he didn’t want to. ㅎ ㅎ

nope, it’s not really common here in singapore. we are a small country. the blind date might just turn out to be a friend or someone’s friend. hahahaha.
i heard over the radio that someone went on a blind date and it actually turned out to be her cousin. she said it was really awkward. hahhaa.

Whoa… 민호는 찐자 어색한 사람인데. 요리가 크림스프게티 안 먹고 싶했어! 다른 밥 주문했으면 좋겠어. 그렇게 했으면 더 재미있겠어! 함께 할 수 있잖아!
그리고 2차는?
조금 걱정하고 있어….

hey guys i try to listen to all lessons even when they are beyond my level
great grammar point , but i noticed in the pdf the example
chada - ga + eul/lle - challae ( sorry for using romaji )
that ” ga ” shouldn’t be ” cha ”
again this is beyond my level , i just want to be sure is not a typo
thanks for your hard work

I went on a blind date, and we ended up dating for 2 years. The only reason why we broke up is because of the long distance relationship we had after college. (He’s actually Korean-American and is one reason why I came to Korea! lol!!!)

Interesting. I’ve never heard the “저는 (name)라고 하다” introduction structure before. In English, I think only cartoon supervillains use the “I am called Dark Culex” introduction sentence pattern.
One question: I heard 현우 say at some point the word 상대방. I think it’s one of those words that has multiple meanings depending on the situation, and the Naver dictionary hasn’t been of much help. What does this word mean?

The word 상대방 means ‘the other person’ in a dialog or a sport game. 상대하다 mean ‘to face’ , ‘to confront’ or ‘to deal with’ and 방 here means ‘a person’ .
(ex)
양방 = both of the two (persons)
쌍방의 합의 하에 = under the agreement of the both of the two people involved
So 상대방 is used in various context wherever it can mean ‘the opponent’, ‘the other person’, or ‘the counterpart’
But you never call someone ‘상대방’ directly because it’s only used as a third person noun.
:-) I hope this helps! 도움이 되었으면 좋겠어요!
