When I went to Seoul to visit my family, I interviewed my cousin’s two children. Yena is in her last year of high school, and Yesung is a first-year student at his high school. The interview was conducted in Korean, so it was a good opportunity to practice my Korean and learn a little more about life in South Korea!
Yena: We eat various different foods for breakfast, but I really like gyeran mari (rolled omelette) and kimchi jjigae. Sometimes I like to get malatang with my friend for dinner instead of eating dinner at home. Yesung: We eat the cafeteria food for lunch, which has a different menu every day. We eat a lot of Korean food for dinner, but ramen or hamburgers are my favorite dinners.
Yesung: We live in an apartment. It’s pretty boring at home; there are a lot of older, retired people in our neighborhood.
Yena: Mostly washing dishes, but whatever my mom tells me to do.
