Koreans use English a lot in advertising and business names. They throw it around like we use French, it instantly fancies up a place. Unfortunately, our two languages are different enough that the point they're trying to make doesn't always come across crystal clear to native English speakers. Here is a collection of the best Konglish (Korean-English) from my recent trip to Korea. Remember, this isn't meant to insult anyone...when I see Konglish it makes me smile. Hopefully, it'll make you smile too! =)
