After going to the dentist

작성일: 2025년 05월 15일 글쓴이: 광오

Those who have been to the dentist these days know that the current state of dentistry in Korea is getting crazier and crazier.

I had been having dental problems for a while, so I searched for a dental clinic and went there because it was close, had good reviews, and was tempted by the phrase “premium treatment with the latest equipment.” But from the entrance, something felt off. It was a classy place with a wedding hall-like interior and a group photo of 4-5 doctors with their arms linked on one wall.

First, I took an X-ray and was waiting when a staff member in a neat uniform approached me and guided me in. When I went in, he showed me pictures of my teeth on the monitor and started explaining. I had to have 4 cavities, 3 resin treatments, 1 I-Lay, and 1 wisdom tooth extracted…. He added that I had to have 2-3 rounds of root canal treatment, pillar reinforcement, and a crown. I broke out in a cold sweat for a moment and asked the price. After looking at my expression, he said the total was 1.4 million won….

I felt something was off, so I said I understood and escaped, but I went to a neighborhood dentist that a friend recommended, even though it was a little far away. It was a hospital with no advertisements and an ordinary appearance, but this time, the doctor came right next to the examination chair and looked at me. I have a cavity and a wisdom tooth that needs to be pulled. The rest are fine. Make sure to get a checkup once a year. I got the treatment and paid the bill, but it didn’t even come to 100,000 won.

It was a huge savings. After looking into it, most things like resin and Ilay are not covered, so the prices vary from hospital to hospital. It’s hard for patients to know that, so in the end, if you do everything they recommend, you end up being taken advantage of. If you do something wrong, it’s a world where you open your mouth and your bank account is also emptied without mercy. As soon as they see my condition, a person who is not a doctor but a director starts giving me advice?? Get out of here!!!

Pork, the healthiest food in the world

작성일: 2025년 05월 13일 글쓴이: 광오

A report was published overseas, and our country’s domestically confidential information was also exposed.. Recently, a report was published overseas that analyzed the nutritional components of 1,000 foods, compared the indices, and ranked them up to 100th place.

Pork fat scored 73 out of 100, which is higher than peas, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, etc. that we know to be healthy.

Pork fat, which ranked 8th Generally, pork fat is considered to be bad for your health, but in reality, it is rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as molasin, the main component of olive oil, and also contains various vitamins, so it is said to be good for fatigue recovery and immunity

However, since about 38% of it is saturated fat, excessive consumption can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease or obesity, so it was announced that it is ideal to eat it with vegetables rich in fiber, and fortunately, that is already the case in Korea. ㅎㅎㅎ Also, it was said that it is best to directly fry or boil pork and use it without refining the oil, and that is already the case in Korea. ㅎㅎㅎ Since the world stopped eating it because it is bad for your health, Korea has been consistently consuming it and managing its health? However, the right amount is still an unsolved problem…. Moderately consuming it. ㅎㅎ

What happens if your SIM card gets hacked in the US?

작성일: 2025년 05월 09일 글쓴이: 광오

There’s a lot of talk about this SKT SIM hacking, and there are a lot of posts like this.

If it were in the US, it wouldn’t have ended with a SIM card replacement….. That’s right!! If it were overseas, all users would have filed a class action lawsuit, the company would have gone bankrupt, and the company would have disappeared in one day. If it were in the US, the company would have disappeared overnight..

Looking at overseas lawsuit cases, McDonald’s hamburgers were sued for failing to manage obesity risk because they contained more calories than advertised, and Starbucks was sued for $5 million for deceiving consumers by putting too much ice in their iced coffees. In overseas countries, even small mistakes can result in lawsuits. However, in our reality, we can’t change it because of a shortage of SIM cards, and we can’t even get a pass. Should we just accept this case as it is?

A paper bag for $300?

작성일: 2025년 05월 08일 글쓴이: 광오

These days, they say they buy things like this. Embarrassing luxury goods. I’ll tell you about items that are exactly what the saying “unnecessarily expensive” means.

1. Prada Money Clip The luxury brand Prada released a Money Click for $185, or about 270,000 won. No matter how you look at it, it looks exactly like the paper clips you often see in offices. A paper clip for an office with just the Prada logo for 270,000 won?

2. Supreme Bricks A limited edition Supreme logo brick released by street brand Supreme The regular price was 30,000 won, but it was sold for over 1 million won in the cell market. Gosh!!! It is still being traded on the Internet for 100,000 to 300,000 won. Is it right to buy a brick for 2,000 won with this amount of money?

3. Balenciaga Grocery Shopper Bag Balenciaga released a 100% recycled material eco-friendly Grocery Shopper Bag. But doesn’t this look familiar? It looks exactly like the shopping baskets that mothers carry when they go to the mart. The release price is 400,000 won, and it acts as a very high-end shopping basket?

4. Jil Sander Vasari Bag A paper bag, also known as the Vasari Bag, released by the German luxury brand Jil Sander It looks like it should hold baguettes or potatoes. This paper bag, which seems to be seen a lot at marts and markets, costs 300,000 won. ㄷㄷㄷㄷ It’s ridiculously expensive even though it’s made of high-quality PVC material.

Starbucks is going down

작성일: 2025년 05월 07일 글쓴이: 광오

Why do the 2030 generation currently flock to Starbucks? Starbucks, once a symbol of coffee culture, is losing popularity among young people.

A Starbucks employee posted a question on an online community, “Why do people go to Mega Coffee or Compose instead of Starbucks?” and over 700 comments were posted. The main reason the 2030 generation is turning away from Starbucks is said to be the taste compared to the price. There were many reviews saying that the espresso had a strong burnt taste compared to the expensive price, and there were also considerable complaints about the store environment. There were criticisms such as lack of seats, uncomfortable chairs, loud noises, and changes in the taste of drinks due to paper straws.

Starbucks is currently in an ambiguous position. Its taste and atmosphere are behind those of local cafes, and its cost-effectiveness and efficiency are behind those of low-priced coffee chains. Many people now say that Starbucks is a place to go only when the gift certificate expiration date is approaching.

Changing consumption patterns are also noticeable. The coffee culture of the 2030 generation is becoming more diverse, such as ordering Mega Coffee through a delivery app or enjoying a home cafe while working from home. The store manager also said that these days, there are many customers only when a new menu is released or the day before gift certificates expire. It seems that attention is focused on Starbucks’ future actions to see if it can capture the hearts of young consumers again.

What olive oil should you not buy?

작성일: 2025년 05월 02일 글쓴이: 광오

Even if it’s free, you should never use this kind of olive oil. A while ago, someone who cooks told me a surprising tip. They say there are olive oils that you should never buy. I’ll tell you about olive oils that you should never buy at the mart.

First

Avoid olive oil in clear and plastic bottles. They can quickly become rancid and may deteriorate depending on the surrounding temperature. And oils become rancid quickly when exposed to light, so you should buy olive oil in dark bottles.

Second

Never use products with multiple origins. Products that maintain a certain level of quality are not made by mixing oils.

Third

Don’t be fooled by the word pure. Pure is another expression for low quality. Pure grade products are products that have gone through a refining process such as blending. Lastly, it is better to buy small quantities rather than large quantities. In the case of oil, since it quickly deteriorates after opening, it is best to buy it little by little and eat it quickly.

Korean products with the world’s largest market share

작성일: 2025년 04월 30일 글쓴이: 광오

Surprisingly, Korean products have the world’s largest market share What comes to mind when you think of global products in Korea? Galaxy, TV, air conditioner? There are many Korean products that we would never have thought of that are dominating the global market

1. Kim Kim, Korea’s representative side dish, is actually a global star. Kim accounts for 50% of the global Kim market. Japan and China also produce Kim, but Korean Kim is said to be overwhelming in quality and taste, so many people from overseas are looking for it.

2. Small Coins Small coins are metal discs that are processed before coins are made. Surprisingly, a Korean company called Poongsan has a 50% share of the global small coin market. It is said that as many as 40 countries make their own currency with Korean small coins. That means that the euros, Southeast Asian currencies, and even African currencies that you touch when you travel abroad may have been made with small coins made in Korea.

3. Aloe Drink Do you know the brand called Aloe Vera King? This brand, which you can sometimes see at convenience stores, looks like a foreign brand at first glance, but it is actually a Korean brand. What is even more surprising is that this brand accounts for 76% of the global market. It is exported to over 160 countries and is said to be selling like hotcakes as a healthy drink in the US, Europe, and South America.

4. Butane Gas Did you know that 90% of the world’s butane gas is made in Korea? In particular, Korean butane gas is recognized as safe butane gas overseas due to its excellent explosion prevention technology. Nine out of ten butane gas in the world are made in Korea….

The razor is Dorko!

작성일: 2025년 04월 28일 글쓴이: 광오

Did you know that there are only 4 countries in the world that can make high-quality razor blades?? One of them is our country Human facial hair is stronger than you think, so if the razor blade is not sharp, the beard will break instead of being cut. But if you make the razor blade sharp, the blade will become dull easily, which is a dilemma. That’s why coating technology is needed to increase strength and protect the skin.

This small razor blade is said to be a measure of the country’s fine metalworking technology. The world’s strongest razor is Gillette, with 120 years of history. Gillette has monopolized the market by controlling offline distribution channels. However, as the online market grew in the 2010s, companies that challenged Gillette’s stronghold emerged, the most representative of which is Dollar Shave Club. Many companies use Korean razor blades, and in 2016, a whopping 57.2% of razor blades distributed in the U.S. online market were domestically produced.

But many people in Korea know this company, Dorco, as a Japanese company. It is a Korean company that started in 1955 as Dongyang Light Metal. It still invests 15% of its annual sales in research and development, and currently exports to over 130 countries, trimming all kinds of beards. ㅎㅎㅎ

4 Dark Patterns to Avoid When Shopping Online

작성일: 2025년 04월 25일 글쓴이: 광오

Four Patterns I’m Being Scammed About Without Knowing About Coupang Online shopping malls like Coupang use a dark pattern, which is a deceptive screen. There are four main types.

What is a dark pattern?

It refers to a deceptive sales technique that induces consumers to make mistakes or unreasonable expenditures for the benefit of the business.

1. Fraudulent purchase

This is an act that induces unexpected spending by making it difficult for consumers to notice Last time, when Coupang raised its monthly membership fee, they pushed the purchase They also delayed the change in the monthly membership fee and made it so that people would agree

2. Odo-type

When you enter the Coupang app, you often see “Special lectures only available today” Even if you enter through a discount pop-up window like this, the discount rate is usually low or the product is sold out, and usually there is a button like Do not show today in such pop-ups, but Coupang does not have one

3. Pressure type

They say it’s about to be sold out, and they display the number of remaining items on the product, but honestly, even if it’s sold out, you can buy it anytime if you get it delivered again, but if they put up a phrase like that, it clouds the rational judgment of consumers.

4. Interference type

Even if you try to cancel your membership, they hide it by all means and when you finally find it and try to cancel it, they ask you several times if you really want to cancel it and they interfere tremendously. It is said that this is so vicious that in the US, they have made this dark pattern a law as a consumer protection measure.
