Rules

Be respectful to others.

Insulting, disrespectful, racist, or unhelpful comments and posts may be removed. Simply telling a user to look up the answer themselves, without providing any additional information, is also considered unhelpful. Repeatedly breaking this rule will result in a ban. We're here to help each other.

Keep things on-topic.

r/Korean is specifically for studying and practicing the Korean language. Posts and comments that are about Korean culture or Korea in general should not be posted here.

Use our Bi-Weekly Free Talk thread

The following may ONLY be posted in our bi-weekly Free Talk thread (pinned to the top of the subreddit): entertainment recommendations (TV shows, movies, videos, music, webtoons, podcasts, books/stories, news, games), study buddies/groups, tutoring, "ask me for help" posts, tattoo translations, and general shoutouts. Any posts outside of this thread will be removed.

Help us help you.

Low-effort posts, including posts with very little information (too little to help other users), and posts that are vague may also be removed. Frequently deleting posts and reposting is also not allowed.

Self-promotion posts only containing a link with an overly short description may also be removed. In addition, you may not request that users directly contact you as part of self-promotion. Instead, include a link. Use "Message the Mods" for any additional questions.
