Why Jimin can NEVER “fix” his Busan Dialect | BTS Analyzed
Jimin is known in BTS for his dancing, and it's his turn to be analyzed. I'll talk about what makes his Korean speaking unique, including his usage of Busan dialect, and polite speech.
There are only two more videos remaining in this series, and the next episode (V) will be posted after 2 weeks.

Future Tense 것이다 vs 겠다 | Live Class Abridged
My most recent live Korean class was about the Future Tense forms 것이다 and 겠다, and how they're used differently. Both can be used to mean the future, but 겠다 can also be used when making assumptions about things in any tense.
There are only TWO remaining live classes before my summer trip to Korea, and then we'll go on break until the fall.

Cheongsongsa-ji Temple Site – 청송사지 (Ulju-gun, Ulsan)
The Cheongsongsa-ji Temple Site is located in Ulju-gun, Ulsan between Mt. Munsusan (600.1 m) to the north and Mt. Namansan (544.3 m) to the south. Rather interestingly, the Cheongsongsa-ji Temple Site is also a current and active temple named Cheongsongsa Temple. Cheongsongsa Temple was first built during the reign of King Hyoso of Silla (r. 692-702 A.D.). At the time of its original construction, Cheongsongsa Temple was quite a large temple that was equivalent to the size of a small village where the temple is currently situated. It’s assumed that the temple was closed in the mid to late Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). The reason for this belief is that the temple appears in the Jeungdongguk Yeoji Seungram, which was compiled in 1481.
When the temple was being rebuilt in 1917, under the watchful eye of the monk Chundam, a rather unreal event took place. The residents of the village that surrounds the Cheongsongsa-ji Temple Site were carrying an image of a seated Amita-bul (The Buddha of the Western Paradise) from the Banghyeonsa Temple Site to a temple in Mt. Odaesan. When they came to the front of the newly rebuilt Cheongsongsa Temple, the residents were suddenly unable to take another step forward. And suddenly, the weather turned and it started to pour rain. These sudden events made the residents realize that the right place for the Amita-bul statue was in fact at the newly built Cheongsongsa Temple, so they enshrined it there. According to the very same myth; but this time, during Japanese Colonial Rule (1910-1945), the Japanese attempted to remove the statue of Amita-bul and bring the statue to Japan. However, the Japanese failed when sudden winds and waves prevented them from leaving Korea. Hearing this, Chundam visited the habour where the statue was being held. There, he had a Buddhist service in front of the statue of Amita-bul. However, after conducting this service, Chundam fell ill with a lingering illness without any known cause. Afterwards, and suddenly one day, the image of Amita-bul appeared to Chundam in a dream. In this dream, the statue chastised the monk for not re-enshrining the statue back at the newly built Cheongsongsa Temple. Afterward, Chundam was able to recover but only after expanding Cheongsongsa Temple and re-enshrining the image of Amita-bul back at the temple. It’s unclear if the image of Amita-bul inside the Daejeokgwang-jeon Hall is the very same statue from the modern temple myth.
The Cheongsongsa-ji Temple Site is home to one Korean Treasure. It’s the Three-Story Stone Pagoda at Cheongsongsa Temple Site, which is Korean Treasure #382.
Temple Site LayoutAs you first approach the temple and temple site up a long twisting country road, you’ll first come across the Three-Story Stone Pagoda at Cheongsongsa Temple Site. This pagoda is a traditional three-story pagoda from Unified Silla (668-935 A.D.). It has a two-tiered stylobate (stepped platform), and the upper and lower stories of the stylobate have the same structure in which the pillar patterns are engraved on the corners and the centre. On top of the two-tiered stylobate rests a large base. Above the base is the body which is comprised of the main stones and roof stones. All are made from one stone. Of the three stories, it’s the first story that is especially tall and large, while the second story suddenly becomes smaller. The roof stones angle upwards at each of their corners. At the top of the pagoda, only the base to the finial still remains. From the overall style of the pagoda, it’s believed to date back to the 9th century. And during dismantling and renovative work conducted on the pagoda in 1962, a copper sarira case was found inside the pagoda that contained a standing bronze Buddha statue and about 30 additional items that included crystal, jade, and 16 glass beads.
The contents from inside the Three-Story Stone Pagoda at Cheongsongsa Temple Site.To the north of this Korean Treasure, you’ll need to travel a couple of the back alleys that belong to the Cheongsong-maeul (village). Eventually, you’ll come out on the other side and be welcomed by the grassy courtyard of Cheongsongsa Temple. Straight ahead of you is a rather large Daejeokgwang-jeon Hall. This main hall is fronted by two seokdeung (stone lanterns) on either side of the central pathway. The exterior walls to the Daejeokgwang-jeon Hall are adorned with two sets of paintings. The first of the two, which are the upper paintings, are the Palsang-do (The Eight Scenes from the Buddha’s Life). And the lower set is the Shimu-do (The Ox-Herding Murals).
Stepping inside the Daejeokgwang-jeon Hall is a rather long main altar. The central triad has a central image dedicated to Birojana-bul (The Buddha of Cosmic Energy). And this statue is joined on either side by Seokgamoni-bul (The Historical Buddha) and Amita-bul (perhaps the historic statue from the temple myth). To the left of the central triad is a shrine dedicated to Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Afterlife). And on the far left wall is a memorial for the dead. To the right of the central triad, on the other hand, is a shrine dedicated to Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion). And on the far right wall is a beautiful Shinjung Taenghwa (Guardian Mural).
To the right rear of the Daejeokgwang-jeon Hall, and up a set of stairs, is an open-concept Sanshin-gak Hall. This wooden pavilion has exposed sides with a large wooden roof over top. Stepping inside the pavilion, you’ll find a solitary stone image dedicated to Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit) at the back wall of the rustic pavilion.
How To Get ThereFrom the Ulsan Intercity Bus Terminal, you’ll need to catch Bus #2300. You’ll need to take this bus for 17 stops, or 25 minutes, and get off at the “Yeonghae maeul – 영해마을” stop. From where the bus drops you off, which is next to the Ulju-gun County Office, you’ll need to head west up “Wuit-jitonggol-gil – 윗지통골길” road from the southern end of the county office grounds. You’ll pass under a highway bridge twice, and the road will eventually become the bisecting “Yulri-jung-maeul-gil – 율리중마을길” road. Finally, this road will become “Cheongsong-gil – 청송길” road. And this will lead you right up to the temple and temple site. The walk will take you about 50 minutes, or 2.5 km, from where the bus originally let you off.
Overall Rating: 6/10The rest of the temple pales in comparison to the Three-Story Stone Pagoda at Cheongsongsa Temple Site. The pagoda is one of only a handful of Buddhist Korean Treasures in the city of Ulsan. The pagoda stands like a sentinel out in front of the village and the recently rebuilt Cheonsongsa Temple. In addition to this Korean Treasure, other highlights at the temple and temple site include the interior of the Daejeokgwang-jeon Hall and the rather uniquely designed Sanshin-gak Hall open-concept pavilion to the rear of the main hall.
The Three-Story Stone Pagoda at Cheongsongsa Temple Site as you first approach it. Another angle of the Korean Treasure. And some ancient writing written on the first body stone on the west-side of the structure. The back alley leading up to the modern temple through Cheongsong-maeul (village). The welcoming Daejeokgwang-jeon Hall. One of the Shimu-do (Ox-Herding Murals) that adorns the exterior wall of the main hall. One of the decorative dragons near the signboard of the main hall above the main entry. A look inside the Daejeokgwang-jeon Hall at the rather long main altar. The central main altar triad with a central image of Birojana-bul (The Buddha of Cosmic Energy) joined by Seokgamoni-bul to the left and possibly the historic Amita-bul statue to the right. The Shinjung Taenghwa (Guardian Mural) inside the Daejeokgwang-jeon Hall. The view from the modern main hall towards the Three-Story Stone Pagoda at Cheongsongsa Temple Site. The open-concept Sanshin-gak Hall at Cheongsongsa Temple. And the statue of Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit) inside the shaman shrine hall.Korean classes in April!

Colonial Korea – Bulguksa Temple
Bulguksa Temple is located at the western foot of Mt. Tohamsan (745 m) in eastern Gyeongju. Bulguksa Temple means “Buddha Kingdom Temple” in English. The name of Bulguksa Temple can have two possible meanings. The first is that traveling through the architectural landscape is like taking a journey through the spiritual realm of the Buddhas. So in a way, it’s an architectural manifestation of the celestial realm of the Buddhas on earth. And the second meaning is in reference to the Unified Silla (668-935 A.D.). More specifically, it’s a reference to the Unified Silla Kingdom building itself as a “Kingdom of Buddha.” In turn, this would help validate the Unified Silla Kingdom claim that it was a legitimate Buddhist nation.
Bulguksa Temple was first constructed in 528 A.D., which was also the first year that Buddhism was officially adopted by the Silla Kingdom (57 B.C – 935 A.D.) during the reign of King Beopheung of Silla (r. 514-540 A.D.). The temple was built to appease the wishes of King Beopheung’s mother, Queen Yeongje, and his wife, Queen Kim. Originally, the temple was named Beopryusa Temple or Hwaeom Bulguksa Temple. Later, the temple was rebuilt by King Jinheung of Silla’s mother, Queen Jiso (?-574 A.D.).
Then nearly two hundred years later, the construction of the Bulguksa Temple that we know today was started in 742 A.D. The design and financial backing of the newly built Bulguksa Temple came from Prime Minster Kim Daeseong (700-774 A.D.). However, before the temple could be completed, Kim Daeseong died in 774 A.D., and Bulguksa Temple was completed during the reign of King Hyegong of Silla (r. 765 – 780 A.D.). It was at this time that Bulguksa Temple was given its current name.
Throughout its long history, and prominent location in the former capital of Silla, Bulguksa Temple was destroyed several times; the first of which occurred in the late 13th century by the invading Mongols. During the temple’s destruction at this time, monks were also killed; however, the great temple artwork was hidden to preserve it, and the stonework also survived this sacking. Later, the temple was reconstructed and renovated several times during the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392) and the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). However, Bulguksa Temple was again destroyed; this time, however, by the invading Japanese during the Imjin War (1592-1598). All of the wooden structures, including temple shrine halls and pavilions, were destroyed at Bulguksa Temple.
After the destruction of the temple in 1593, another major reconstruction and expansion took place at Bulguksa Temple in 1604. And in 1700, the original layout of the temple was completely restored. In about a 200 year period, over 40 renovations took place up until 1805 at Bulguksa Temple. It was in 1805 that the temple started to fall into disrepair and was looted by robbers.
Bulguksa Temple was then initially repaired during the early part of Japanese Colonial Rule (1910-1945) from 1918 to 1925. And it was further renovated between 1934 and 1935. Then after the Japanese Colonial Rule came to an end, an extensive restoration took place from 1963 to 1973 under President Park Chung-hee (1917-1979). In total, some 24 buildings were renovated and rebuilt. During the 1980s and 1990s, Bulguksa Temple simply acted as a major tourist attraction. However, in the year 2000, the management of Bulguksa Temple was transferred over to the Jogye-jong Order, and the temple resumed its central role in Korean Buddhism, once more.
Bulguksa Temple, along with the neighbouring Seokguram Hermitage, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Also, Bulguksa Temple is home to 7 National Treasures (the most at any Korean Buddhist temple), and an additional 6 Korean Treasures. Also, Bulguksa Temple is a Historic Site.
Colonial Era PhotographyIt should be noted that one of the reasons that the Japanese took so many pictures of Korean Buddhist temples during Japanese Colonial Rule (1910-1945) was to provide images for tourist photos and illustrations in guidebooks, postcards, and photo albums for Japanese consumption. They would then juxtapose these images of “old Korea” with “now” images of Korea. The former category identified the old Korea with old customs and traditions through grainy black-and-white photos.
These “old Korea” images were then contrasted with “new” Korea images featuring recently constructed modern colonial structures built by the Japanese. This was especially true for archaeological or temple work that contrasted the dilapidated former structures with the recently renovated or rebuilt Japanese efforts on the old Korean structures contrasting Japan’s efforts with the way that Korea had long neglected their most treasured of structures and/or sites.
This visual methodology was a tried and true method of contrasting the old (bad) with the new (good). All of this was done to show the success of Japan’s “civilizing mission” on the rest of the world and especially on the Korean Peninsula. Furthering this visual propaganda was supplemental material that explained the inseparable nature found between Koreans and the Japanese from the beginning of time.
To further reinforce this point, the archaeological “rediscovery” of Japan’s antiquity in the form of excavated sites of beautifully restored Silla temples and tombs found in Japanese photography was the most tangible evidence for the supposed common ancestry both racially and culturally. As such, the colonial travel industry played a large part in promoting this “nostalgic” image of Korea as a lost and poor country, whose shared cultural and ethnic past was being restored to prominence once more through the superior Japanese and their “enlightened” government. And Bulguksa Temple played a large part in the the propagation of this propaganda, especially since it played such a prominent role in Korean Buddhist history and culture. Here are a collection of Colonial era pictures of Bulguksa Temple through the years.

반면에 "On the other hand" | Live Class Abridged
There are only three more live Korean classes remaining before the summer break (I always take a break during my trips to Korea). The most recent class I did was all about the grammar form 반면(에), which means "on the other hand." The full class was over an hour and a half long, but you can watch the summary here which is under 7 minutes.

My Book, For the Love of Time, For Sale on Amazon
My second collection of short stories, and my second book published this year, is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.
From the troubled neighborhoods of inner-city Chicago, to the great woods of northern Michigan, to the idyllic campus environs of universities in South Korea, the short story collection, For the Love of Time: Tales From Home and Abroad, transports the reader to manifold destinations around the world. In these seventeen short stories composed between 2009 and 2022, the author, Andrew Lawrence Crown, introduces us to a multifarious assortment of characters, ranging from Native American warriors and princesses, to Vietnamese exchange students seeking opportunity and adventure through work and study abroad in South Korea, to forlorn expatriate professors and would be authors harboring fantastical hopes for renown and prestige in writing and letters, to strong-willed Asian wives and lovers striving with persevering fortitude to lead their wayward husbands and suitors away from the abyss of despondent dissolution and back into the dignified fold of common decency and honor. The stories in this volume, peopled by a multinational, multiethnic, and multiracial amalgam of characters from across the globe involved in foreign affairs of a romantic rather than political nature, promise to provide those willing to devote the time to reading these tales from home and abroad, with a literary experience as poignant and enlightening as it is entertaining in its examination of the attributes of love, art, and the pursuit of literature and philosophical wisdom as a way of life.
