Dive into the poetic depths of the Korean language with Episode 53 of the Essential Korean Podcast, where Kay샘 unravels the complexities of 'ㅆ을까'—a grammatical form that captures the poignant musings of past choices and the bittersweet tang of what might have been.

In this episode, we dissect a poignant scene from a movie, parsing the emotion behind 'ㅆ을까'. Then, we groove to the beat of Psy's song '어땠을까', unpacking the layers of retrospective longing woven into its lyrics. With grammar and practical language lessons, we’ll explore how this unique expression shapes narratives and conveys deep emotions in storytelling.
