"Dan-jang-yuh", frequently searched word that appears in korean search engine. I was curious of what that means, so I looked it up. In literal translation, "dang-jang" is fermented soy bean, one of the basic sauces used in many korean dishes. "Yuh", in korean used to describe female. "Dan-jang" was dereived from the actual term "jan-jang", expression used to describe less desirable situation. Today, "dang-jang-yuh" is used to describe a woman who's vain and shallow in character. Of course this term also applies to guys, "dang-jang-nam". Example was given to describe this term to further clarify the meaning. A woman who's sipping Starbucks coffee, also expensive in Korea, and reads Time Magazine in English. Having said all this, I present to you, "dang-jang-nam" of the day.
