Q. What would be Little Mermaid's last name, if she was Korean?
=> 인어공주의 성씨는?
A. 언더더씨
Did you get the joke? No? That's alright! At Mallo Academy, you get a Korean joke and a lesson for free!
'Under the Sea' is a famous OST from the Little Mermaid movie.
If you haven't heard it yet, it's an absolute banger, so take a listen below:
The punchline to the joke is '언더더씨' which sounds like 'Under the Sea'.
But this is only the first part of the joke!
성씨 means 'family name' or 'surname' in Korean.
The polite way to address someone in Korea is to use '씨'.
씨 means titles, such as 'Mr, Ms, Mrs'.
So, the polite way to address your Mallo tutors would be to call them: 민성씨 or 범진씨, and so on.
언더더씨 would be like saying: Ms. 언더더.
And that's the joke! Check it out told by 진쌤:
