I looked at Felix’s Korean back in 2021, and at that time he had only been in Stray Kids for a few years and was still polishing up his Korean skills. I noted that he’d improved a ton since his debut, and wanted to take another look at him down the road to see how he was doing. So now five years later in 2026 I take another, more in depth look at his Korean abilities, as well as analyzed how he sounds overall.

Would you choose to raise your kid in Korea? Why or why not? I discussed some pros and cons of raising a family in Korea and some of the reasons why people prefer being in Korea. I also talked with a special guest (Hyunwoo of TTMIK!) and he also shared some of his personal reasons for raising his kids in Korea.

Who’s your favorite Stray Kids member, and why is it HAN? Well, I’d pick him as my favorite as a Korean teacher for a few reasons. Check out my detailed analysis of how HAN speaks and writes Korean!

Korea has a franchise called 두끼 떡볶이 (shortened to 두떡) which is an all-you-can-eat style 떡볶이 restaurant, and it SLAPS… so much that this video is not sponsored at all and I only wanted to show you what it’s like. But honestly I wish they’d sponsor me because I’ve already been there twice and plan to go again. For the price it’s surprisingly about the same price as what I usually spend when I only get 떡볶이 (since I always get a bunch of 순대 and 튀김 anyway). Since my kid also loves 떡볶이 I took him along for our first experience, and helped him to make the sauce and everything.

This time I’m taking a look at all eight members in the group Stray Kids! We’re halfway through the series, and it’s 현진’s turn. Which group should I analyze next? Let me know through my Patreon page and I might make another series later this year.

2025 had a lot of major issues in Korea, but many of them disappeared from conversations as quickly as they came up. This includes celebrity news, popular snacks and trends, and events that affected specific areas. But several issues from 2025 are still being talked about in 2026, and are issues that nearly everyone in Korea is fully aware of. As a Korean learner, it’s important to also be aware of culture and what things are important to Koreans, so I put together a list of the five biggest issues from 2025 that you should be aware of.

We’re up to the third episode in my series about Stray Kids! This time it’s Changbin’s turn, and I talk about everything from his wordplay to his handwriting.

I’ll be posting one of these videos each week for all eight members.

Sometimes even when you make a Korean mistake, nobody corrects you – even if you ask them to correct you for practicing Korean. Of course Korean teachers and tutors will try to help, but why not others?

My friend (who’s not a teacher) and I talked about why this happens and what you can do.

I spent weeks analyzing each of the members in the group Stray Kids in order to find out more about them. Last week I looked at Bang Chan, so today I’ll be analyzing Lee Know – the main dancer.

Most medicine I know was developed recently using labs, and for a good reason – it works. But Korea also has a branch of medicine known as “한약,” and some of these items have a long history – some as many as hundreds of years. Find out what sorts of medicines your Korean friends are taking when they get sick, as well as what their ancestors took, in today’s newest episode of my podcast “Into Korean.”
