My student is a 20-something Korean woman. She has a job that doesn't pay quite as much as she'd like, so when a friend suggested her for a position at a leading Korean company, she decided to apply.
The company surprised my student by calling her in for an interview quickly: tomorrow morning. She can't get the day off work on such short notice. What to do?
She has come up with a plan. Tonight is a 회식, a more-or-less mandatory dinner and drinking party with the boss and her co-workers. She has decided to pretend to be drunk tonight, so that tomorrow morning she can use a hangover as an excuse for not going into the office.
"That's very Korean," I told her. She laughed.
