  People met on my backpacking 195 - The problem of honorifics in Korean seen by the Germans
  
  Today I went to Pattaya Beach to work out again. I met two Germans who were quite humorous and remarkable. They were also sports enthusiasts, performing chin-ups and push-ups. They resembled typical Viking relatives, with robust body in their mid-60s. I was particularly drawn to the words and sketches on one person's shirt. "NO PAIN, NO GAIN." What astonished me the most was that I didn't talk to them first, but they did. "Hello?¡°
  
  "Yes, hi. It's a pleasure to meet you. You speak Korean. How did you know I was Korean?" I responded in Korean as a surprise, but that was it. They didn't comprehend me. We began speaking English exclusively after that. They were retired and long-time residents, too. They looked to be friendly.
  
  I said, "How did you know that I am Korean?" he replied. "I watched a lot of news about Korea, so I watched Korean dramas and movies, and I got used to the faces of Koreans." I questioned again, "Can you tell Korean from Japanese and Chinese?" "Yes, they are comparable, but there are distinctions. Koreans use a variety of facial emotions, including their eyes. "I agree. It's because Koreans can't conceal their emotions." They asked another inquiry.
  
  "I want to learn Korean, but it's extremely tough. There are too many honorifics in Korean. "Is there a simple solution to this problem?" That's a good question. I have a secret. It's quite simple. You only need to know two words. Whether your companion is a woman or a man, it is acceptable to use "nim" in the honorifics; simply insert "yo" at the end of the sentence. Try it. Any Korean will enjoy it. Because Koreans view everything with respect unless a foreigner says anything unpleasant, crude talk. Just remember "nim" and "yo".
  
  [*bumonim, eomeonim, hyeongnim, nunim, aunim, seonsaengnim, seonbaenim, sajangnim, hoejangnim, daetonglyeongnim, gamdognim, gisanim deung. masigo sip-eoyo, meoggo sip-eoyo, joh-ayo, silh-eoyo, pigonhaeyo, gibun-i joh-ayo, salanghaeyo, oseyo, gaseyo, gago sip-eoyo, sago sip-eoyo, mannago sip-eoyo, iyagihago sip-eoyo, hangug-i joh-ayo]
  
  They had previously been informed by acquaintances who had visited Korea that they gave up Korean honorifics because they were too complex. That's true. Because I used to teach Korean to foreigners at my business. The most difficult thing to teach and learn was honorifics. However, I wanted to remove their anxiety of meeting Koreans. I stated that outsiders should not communicate casually with Koreans.
  
  In general, Westerners place less emphasis on age than Koreans do. Nonetheless, they questioned my age. When I mentioned my age, a pal with a "NO PAIN, NO GAIN" shirt bowed to me. That meant I was seven years older than him. Their attitude, after learning of my age, appeared to be conversant with Korean tradition and culture. Even when they parted ways with me, they bent their heads in a Korean manner. Perhaps today's Korea is fundamentally different from the past. Of course, if Korea returns to the old ways, people will look at me with icy eyes.
  
  Anyway, I like being lucky. It is impossible without a prosperous Korea. So I'm grateful for Korea, which increases my worth. It is, of course, a precious gift of conversations. So I can say that confidently. When Koreans converse to people all around the world, they never despise, curse, or wish for the destruction of the Republic of Korea. Rather, they will proudly and actively wave the national flag, pledging to safeguard the Republic of Korea.
  
  I told them before our breakup. We will never forget the kindness of West German President Heinrich Lufke (during a summit with Pres. Park Chung-hee) and the people of W. Germany who assisted us during tough times (1964-1977). At the time, over 20,000 Korean miners and nurses went to West Germany. The foreign money of blood and sweat they transferred to their native nation, Korea, served as the cornerstone for today's flourishing Republic of Korea. I informed them that there's a wonderfully decorated German settlement on the southern shore of South Gyeongsang province.
  
  They stated, "We saw heartbreaking events at the time. When Pres. Park Chung-hee spoke in front of Korean miners and nurses, the two countries' presidents and the first lady wept. It was a very unusual scene." "That's correct. With tears in his eyes, Pres. Park Chung-hee promised the miners and nurses who had been sent to Germany. Of course, everything was fulfilled." They inquired what it was. I said, "Give me time, everyone. As the president of Korea, I will never let our descendants go abroad because Korea is poor like today. I will keep my promise.¡°
  
  At the time, about 20,000 Korean men and women in their twenties went to Germany to make dollars as nurses and miners. Today, S. Koreans in their twenties go to Germany to spend the dollars. I believe this is both a patriotic gesture and the driving force behind the world's only S. Korea, which is on track to reach $40,000 in a country where the per capita income is less than $100. Korea was able to pull off such a miracle because its people picked an outstanding leader.
  
  (*Note: In 1974-1975, hundreds of candidates for deployed miners swarmed in front of the foreign personnel office building in Donggyo-dong, near Sinchon, Seoul, starting early in the morning. The scenes from that period remain fresh in my imagination. Currently, the reverse is true. Job seekers looking to work in Korea queue up in front of the Korean embassy and consulate in their home country early in the morning. The same is true for Central and Southeast Asia, including Manila, Philippines.)
  
  *Today's story too begins with a dialog amongst people all across the world. That's why I am so grateful to the two Germans. The more I meet and speak with foreigners, the more I recognize the value of a national leader's patriotism, sound thought, courage, and honesty. That's because, like in Venezuela (Chavez) and Germany (Hitler), the fate of a whole country may shift in an instant. At least I believe so.
  
  Thanks for reading.
