@ianthetechie Haha, I'm glad you find my posts in Korean mixed script interesting. Hanja isn't essential for learning modern Korean, but it's still a lot of fun, eh!

@hongminhee yeah, I think even my father in law's use of Hanja is a distant memory, but I think it's a beautiful cultural artifact, and has some artistic elegance in the conciseness.

It's also literally fun(ny) for me because it opens up more kinds of word play. For example my wife informs me that I am the only person in the world who would think of calling this 광주(光酒), but she thought it was funny anyways :P
