Korean Vocab #8 [Big Bang Special Edition]: Dae Sung Has Small Eyes!


Everyone is still in the Big Bang ALIVE mood. From it's release, to Running Man, to Big Show! The Big Bang Alive hype is still going on so I was thinking of making a Special Edition flashcards for Big Bang! Although Top had one flashcard for himself earlier on but it's OK he'll be in this Special Edition too! Had a hard time to think who to start off with but Running Man helped me to decide!

Today's Korean Vocab:
작은 눈 jag-eun nun: Small Eyes

Dae Sung the 미소 천사 (mi-so cheon-sa: smiling angel) is always welknown for his small eyes! Especially when he smiles or laughs! He was even proud of his small eyes when he was in Running Man:
na  nun (eye) i  jag-a (small) do i-reon-geo  chal bon-da-go!!
Eventhough my eyes are small I can still see this very well!
Breaking It Down:
작은 jag-eun: Small. It is often used with an object behind this word because it is used to describe that it is small.
nun: Eyes

So with this formula: JAG-EUN + OBJECT, you can use with anything!
작은 눈 jag-eun nun: small eyes
작은 코 jag-eun ko: small nose
작은 입 jag-eun ib: small lips
작은 얼굴 jag-eun eol-gul: small face
작은 손 jag-eun son: small hands
작은 머리 jag-eun meo-ri: small head
작은 집 jag-eun jib: small house
작은 소리 jag-geun so-ri: small voice
작은 가방 jag-eun ka-bang: small bag

Other Tips:
The opposite of SMALL, is BIG (sorry if I sound lame). So how do we describe BIG? We use the word 큰 keun. Pronounced as in Kentucky Fried Chicken's "Ken".

Similarly the formula would be: KEUN + OBJECT

큰 눈 keun nun: big eyes. TOP would have this!
큰 코 keun ko: big nose
큰 얼굴 keun eol-gul: big face
큰 손 keun son: big hands
큰 집 keun jib: big house
큰 소리 keun so-ri: big voice which means loud. Some times you listened in Drama "큰 소리 하지마!" (keun so-ri ha-ji-ma) means "do not be loud!"


Her Korean Things Says
I can't stop laughing at Running Man's Big Bang episode especially when it comes to Dae Sung! He discovered so many compared to TOP! Don't worry Dae Sung, we still love your voice so much although you have small eyes. Small eyes are sometimes sexay!

To end the post, let's celebrate with Dae Sung's solo from Alive Album. His voice never fails to make us feel GOOD! Shout together with Dae Sung: "Yeah-ee-yeahhhh!!!!"

Guess which Big Bang member will be up next?
