Dear Korean,
I recently learned of the word "마음". 마음 is a very interesting and beautiful word; it's often heard in K-pop songs. Are there other interesting words like it? My wife thinks 달콤 is a word with many meanings, too (though Google only offers one meaning: sweet).

Very interesting question, but a difficult one for the Korean to answer with his dried-up sentimentality. So he will give this one to the readers. What are some Korean words you think are interesting and/or beautiful?
Got a question or a comment for the Korean? Email away at askakorean@gmail.com.
