Hello Daegu, Fall has blown in quickly this year and we hope you all are enjoying the more moderate temperatures. We have another great issue set up for you this time around, including a piece about our favorite expat-run podcast called Korea Underground. It’s edgy, trendy, and their drunken soju episode is not to be missed! Check out how they got their podcast off the ground and have over 14,000 downloads under their belt already. Also, our October issue wouldn’t be quite complete without a review and photo essay covering last month’s annual body painting festival held in Duryu Park. Local writer and photographer, Gary Lynn, shares his behind-the-scenes glimpse of the spectacular art that went into producing this internationally-recognized event.

We would also like to welcome a new member to our Daegu Compass staff. Lindsay Mickles has been writing for us for the past few months and has officially joined our team as our new Assistant Editor. We’re excited to have her writing talent and professional photography skills on board with us!

Fireshow in the Kitchen 2046 Pan Steakhouse Ignites Daegu

• Written by Choi Jung Won Photos by Yang Mi Ra

Sunday provides a perfect excuse to go out and indulge yourself with delicious food. Whether it is a cheat day for regular gym goers or a romantic date with your loved one, picking and choosing over which restaurant to go is a special privilege given to you on this god blessed day.

If you are looking for a casual steakhouse at an affordable price, do not miss out ‘2046 Pan Steakhouse.’

Nested in the club district of Daegu Downtown (across the street from Thursday Party), vintage interior design and open kitchen will draw your attention as soon as you step inside 2046 Pan Steakhouse - only to find out ‘fireshow’ in the kitchen will take away your attention in just few seconds later. Lights are dim enough to make you feel relaxed and comfortable inside this establishment.

Variety of steak, pasta, wine, and beer is available in this modern steakhouse. Peruvian Salmon Seviche and Gazpacho Cold Pasta were my choice as starters. Gazpacho Cold Pasta – a Spanish style tomato based cold pasta – brings in freshness and spice as you take the first scoop of this rejuvenating dish,one of its kind you can only find at 2046 Pan Steakhouse.

9 different kinds of steaks are served in this restaurant, and only the finest meat are used to make juicy and tender steaks.

Pan Steak Prime is a chuck flap tail steak served with French style garnish of rucola, mushroom and garlic very rich in flavor. Interesting feature of this restaurant is that the steaks are served on a hot plate! A server will help you to ‘cook’ your steak based on your preference, while you can seat back and let the sizzling sound entertain you as you watch your steak is being

cooked. Combination of rucola, mushroom, and garlic on the side adds to the flavor. Warning – never, ever touch the pan!

Giant Steak is double the size of other steaks offered at 2046 Pan Steakhouse, served on a pre-heated hot plate along with mixed vegetable and baked potato with mustard butter sauce. Probably a best choice for gluttons / meat lovers!

You can check the size of the meat in the menu.

Special tip – unlimited wine (red/white) is available at 7,900won. Dry red wine may add extra flavor to the meal and since you can order unlimited amount, definitely agood deal you have to try.

2046 Pan Steakhouse offers a modern/vintage settings, visual entertainment, on top of all menus being offered at an affordable price. Business hours are from 1130 to 2400 on Monday to Thursday, 1130 to 0100 on Friday to Sunday. Menu is written in both Korean and English.

Bahn Mi Rico Vietnamese Style Sandwiches in Daegu

• Written and Photographed by Antone Nguyen

After almost four years of searching for Bánh Mì sandwiches in Korea, I was excited that a place had opened in Daegu! The place is called Bánh Mì Rico, which is located near Kyungpook National University. This small bistro fits about 14-18 people and is great for a casual bite. Upon entering, you’ll notice the large artwork illustrating the Bánh Mì ingredients.

On the right side is the front counter with a menu clearly displaying the Bánh Mì sandwich flavors and beverages. There’s a set menu option that includes French fries with basil and onion powder seasoning, and your choice of beverage. Beverages include the basic soda choices, a tea soda, various draft beer flavors, and the signature Vietnamese style coffee (a.k.a. Cà Phê).

Now onto the intricate details of how Bánh Mì Rico makes their sandwiches. These sandwiches borrowed the baguette from the French, but everything inside is an adventurous Vietnamese journey. All baguettes are prepared with rice flour, making it crispy on the outside, and moist and chewy inside.

You’ll have the dilemma of choosing five kinds of meat: Egg, Pork, Chicken, Fishcake, and Beef. All of the Bánh Mì flavors come stuffed with an interesting blend of vegetables and sauces. The vegetables contain pickled carrots and daikon, cucumbers, green chilies, and cilantro.

12

Bahn Mi Rico

During my first visit to Bánh Mì Rico, my girlfriend and I ordered the Pork and Chicken Bánh Mì. The seasoning of the Pork Bánh Mì somewhat resembled bulgogi. It’s topped off with all of the vegetables and then drizzled with buttery mayonaise, red pepper siracha, and soy sauce. I could definitely taste the sweet pork and the soy sauce. However, the spiciness of the siracha is mostly drowned out by the pork’s sweetness. Great choice if you’re looking for contrasting flavors.

The Chicken Bánh Mì had a more balanced flavor.

Chicken was tender and nicely seasoned, which brings out all of the flavors wonderfully. I could definitely taste the siracha and the buttery mayo this time. Also, the soy sauce’s flavor blended in more effortlessly. Underneath the top piece of the baguette is a secret addition, the chicken paté. Paté is usually made with chicken liver and various spices. In my opinion, this was the best sandwich overall.

While there’s some aspects of the Bánh Mì that had Korean influence, the sandwiches were good enough overall for another visit. For the second visit, four friends joined me. We ordered the previously acclaimed Pork and Chicken, and also tested our taste buds with the Beef and Fishcake Banh Mi.

The Fishcake Bánh Mì seemed generously seasoned. I agreed with my friends’ assessment of the siracha and soy sauce being overwhelming, feeling like a punch to the face. But fishcake has a typically neutral taste, so this was somewhat expected. It’s an adequate sandwich, but better suited for the bolder food connoisseur.

If you’re unsure about your journey into the Bánh Mì world, the beef is a nice starter. The meat was lightly seasoned, with gravy having an onion taste similar to the French Dip’s Au Ju sauce. It also has a bit of cheese mixed into the meat. We’re a bit surprised by the calm taste of the Beef Bánh Mì, but it was still a nice sandwich.

All of us agreed that the Pork and Chicken Banh Mi tasted the best overall. In our second visit, one of my friends and I noticed there were some other changes to the Bánh Mì recipe. Besides the more generous amount of siracha, the most noticeable omission was the chicken paté. I thought this was just a one-time occurrence, so I had to visit again.

On my third visit, the owner, Seung Jae Kim was present. (I also ordered the Egg Bánh Mì, which was respectable).

Since I had the opportunity to talk with Seung Jae, I asked him about his reasons for opening a Bánh Mì shop in Daegu (his friend also helped translate an-

14

Bahn Mi Rico

swers that he couldn’t fully express in English). He first encountered Bánh Mì while traveling in Vietnam, and he wondered why Koreans haven’t caught onto these sandwiches, despite it’s deliciousness. So he became inspired to bring this intriguing sandwich to Korea.

Then I asked him about his preparations of the Bánh Mì sandwiches. At that point, he admitted it was necessary to make changes to cater to the Korean taste palette. He stopped including the chicken paté because many Koreans shunned the taste.

When Seung Jae first made the sandwiches, he tried his best to keep the Bánh Mì’s authentic taste. I have to give him credit for pioneering this delicacy into Korea. Sometimes it takes time for people to be accustomed to unfamiliar tastes. But he’s dedicated to his shop and wants to attract a more diverse customer base. He assured me that he’d give the options of chicken paté and sauce amounts in the future. It was a really nice gesture from the owner. He has a great thing going with a unique product, and I’m confident he’ll be able to attract more customers. I know I’ll come back again, eager for his promised authentic preparation options.

Bánh Mì Rico is located just across from the Kyungpook University North Gate: Buk-gu, Sangyeok dong, 1321-5 ( 북구 산격동 1321-5, 대구) Open from 11am to 11pm.

Turn the Radio Up! • Written by Brian M. Van Hise Photos Courtesy of Korea Underground Translated by Yujeong Lee

What happens when you put three expat teachers in Korea, all in their 30s, in a room with a few bottles of soju and a microphone for 2 hours? No, not crank out 80s rock hits in a noraebang after an evening of devouring samgyeopsal and Cass. We’re talking about doing something a bit more productive: expat podcasting! Say hello to Korea Underground, a Pohang-based expat-managed bi-weekly podcast (that’s a lot of consecutive hyphens!) which has been on the air since the spring of 2014. 만약 한국에서 한 방에 두 시간 동안 모두가 30대인 세 명의 원어

민 교사를 소주 몇병과 함께 두면 무슨 일이 일어날까? 어느 저 녁날 삼겹살과 카스를 잔뜩 먹고 난 후에 노래방에 가서 80년 락 히트송을 불러대는 이야기를 말하는 것이 아니다. 우리는 지금

조금 더 생산적인 것에 대해서 이야기하고 있다. 외국인들의 팟 캐스트를 말하는 것이다! 2014년 봄부터 포함에서 외국인들에

의해 2주에 한 번씩 방송되는 팟캐스트, 코리아 언더그라운드를 소개한다.

After a run of unsatisfactory blogging attempts and finding inspiration in US filmmaker Kevin Smith’s “Smodcast”, Korea Underground founder Stephen Leavy “decided to stop making excuses and start recording. The conversational nature of our show makes it a lot more entertaining than a blog, which is mostly a one-sided conversation with myself, and it’s been a lot more successful, and entertaining.” 코리아 언더그라운드의 창립자 스티븐 리비는 별로 만족스럽지

Turn the Radio Up!

Korea Underground records out of Pohang and Gyeongsan (on the outskirts of Daegu) and consists of Leavy, from the US, along with Teresa Chien from Melbourne, Australia, and Dan, another American who joins the team on occasion. Recording together consists of, well first a little soju of course, and then sitting down comfortably in a soundproofed room with Leavy’s computer and mics up and running. Up until early this year, they had been recording with a big Blue Snowball mic, which did its job...if not a little too well. “It’s a decent little mic but picks up every sound in the room,” Leavy says. “In one early episode it actually picked up the growl of a guest’s stomach, which I later edited out. We all had to sit on the floor because any chair or sofa noise would have been as audible as our voices.”

The team has since tossed out the Blue Snowball in favor of AudioTechnica ATR2100 personal mics, so each host has his/her own. They also use a Behringer mixer to help smooth out the sounds as well. “We noticed a big improvement in overall sound quality since the upgrade,” Leavy says, admitting though that new equipment can be a bit finicky, so they are still working out some kinks. 코리아 언더그라운드는 포항과 경산(대구 외곽지역)에서 이루어 지며, 호주 멜버른에서 온 테레사 치엔, 가끔 팀에 참여하는 미국 인 댄과 함께 역시 미국에서 온 리비로 팀이 이루어져 있다. 함께 레코딩은 물론 약간의 소주와 함께 하며 방음처리가 된 방에서 리비의 컴퓨터와 마이크를 켜 놓은 채로 편안히 앉아서 하게 된

까다롭다는 것을 인정하고 여전히 그들은 몇 가지 어려움을 해결 하기 위해 고심하고 있다.

The Korean market for expat podcasting has a decent number of podcasts, all of whom bring their own unique content and style to their shows, which helps to alleviate any feelings of competition between them.

Korea Underground’s style was “conceived as a conversation you’d have with friends over beers and as such nothing is off the table for conversation (as those who heard our drunk episode will recall!) and we are sometimes NSFW,” says Leavy. However, he also adds that the show is responsible for adding factual and useful information for those looking to learn more

Turn the Radio Up!

about Korea from an expat perspective. He adds: “We will sometimes do interviews if I find someone I think is interesting enough but I wanted the show to be more about the conversations we have with each other than with guests and that’s what really sets Korea Underground apart from the other shows out there.”

외국인이 운영하는 팟캐스트의 한국 시장은 꽤 많은 수의 팟캐

것보다는 우리끼리 하는 대화에 더 집중을 하고 싶어요. 그리고 그런 편이 코리아 언더그라운드가 다른 팟캐스트와의 차별화된 다고 봐요.”

http://www.daegucompass.com

As if this wasn’t enough, Leavy says that he takes great pride in introducing indie bands to his ever-growing audience. “I always had it in my mind that Korean music was pretty much just K-Pop but once I started digging around I found a rich tapestry of indie bands, both foreign and Korean and they are making some great music.” He says that featuring this music on the show has elevated the program to new levels, levels unimagined when he first began the show.

Korea Underground has produced 27 episodes and has over 14,000 downloads. The podcasts can be streamed via their website at: http://www.korea-underground. com .

The International Daegu Opera Festival opens with a fabulous rendition of Aida. Aida depicts the dangerous, tragic love between Radomes, who is an Ancient Egyptian general, and his http://www.daegucompass.com

prisoner Aida, who is an Ethiopian princess. Aida is counted as a masterpiece by opera fans and critics around the world.

The performance is full of dramatic music, large-scale cast and crew, dazzling choreography and a beautifully designed stage. This production is directed by Jung Sunyoung, who has been praised for her exceptional and often times experimental approach to opera performances. The featured tenor is Lee Byeongsam and his counterpart is soprano Kim Bokyung.

Together they make the stage come alive, as they have collaborated with singers from other operas like Turandot. Expect to be impressed with this dramatic rendition of Aida.

Liquid Dive Dumaguete First-Class Flashpacker Resort

• Written by Scott McLaughlin Photos Courtesy of Liquid Dive Dumaguete

A few years ago, I was able to travel to this wonderful, new dive resort off the coast of beautiful Dumaguete, Philippines. This in-betweener resort has all the luxuries of an expensive resort without the overly extravagant cost. The resort is also home to an excellent dive school. Zoe, Time and Jim make your dive experience memorable and fun while placing your safety first.

That is one of the memories I’ve always remembered from my experience diving with them. They are dedicated to developing caring and professional divers-no matter what level of experience they have had in the past. If you are looking for adventure, without skipping out on a bit of luxury, head to Liquid Dive Dumaguete, Philippines.

Have you heard the term “flashpacker” being used a lot lately? Flashpacker resorts are basically like the resort version of champagne for backpackers. Travellers can get away from the all-inclusive resorts that offer nothing of the local lifestyle while still having a comfortable base to explore the region. Shared bathrooms and crowded dorms are something that backpackers become accustomed to, but flashpackers crave a bit more. The original ‘flashpacker’ resort in Dauin is Liquid Dive Dumaguete. It is your home away from home, a place where everyone knows your name, and like-minded travellers gather to share the local experience. Liquid Dive Dumaguete offers you 5 star services in a friendly, family run resort at affordable prices.

The resort looks out over views of the famous Apo Island and Siquijor Island while the backdrop is of the beautiful Mt Talinis. This secluded location gives Liquid complete tranquility and serenity.

The owners, Tim and Zoe, have lived in the Philippines since 2006 and have worked in the diving industry for over 15 years. In January 2011 the family relocated with their 2 children to Dauin and started construction of Liquid Dive Dumaguete. The resort rapidly gained a reputation within the dive industry and is well equipped to accommodate your holiday, diving and relaxation needs.

Another Colorful Day in Daegu â&#x20AC;˘ Written and Photographed by Gary Lynn

The day starts out partly cloudy on our way to Duryu Park for the 8th annual Daegu International Body Painting Festival (DIBF). As in past events, there were competitors from around the world for both categories: Fantasy Make-up and Body Painting. This two day event was a little different this year because there were 20 entries in the Fantasy Make-Up category, and while most of them were from Korea and China, two were from Russia. In the Body Painting category there were 30 competitors and most were from Korea but there were artists from China, Russia and Serbia as well. Also there was one entry from Japan, Miki Ueda and her model Ichihashi Haruna. She has been painting for three years and this was her first competition in Daegu and first time in Korea.

The categories are timed events. Fantasy Make-Up was the first competition which started at noon. They only had four hours to finish, whereas Body Painting had six. Each contestant had their own tent for preparation. In the middle of the afternoon it was hot and there were a lot of fans blowing to keep the models from sweating away the paint. In full make up, carrying their headdresses and accessories, several models said it was exhausting. After the Fantasy Make-up models went on stage the Body Painting models followed.

This event was coordinated in part by Sam Soohyun Jang, the Advertising & Event Planning Team Deputy Manager. He remembered me from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event and was instrumental in providing me the resources to write this story. With his help I had a chance to interview the judges, the artists and the models. By giving me a backstage pass, I was able to get some awesome pictures, over 250 pictures total. Several pictures were with two or more models standing together. He

also provided a translator (thank you Seoyang Kim, Victoria, without you it would have been so hard to communicate with everyone). While backstage I also had the chance to speak to the MC (Mistress of Ceremony), Chae hee Moon. She spoke to the models and the artist after each model went on stage.

She would ask where they were from, how they felt about being on stage, what inspired them and how old they were. The youngest artist was 17.

While the models were being painted, there were rock bands, dancers and other performers on stage.

There were also exhibition booths, a food court (with all kinds of different types of food) and face painting.

New this year was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Painting Experience Exhibitâ&#x20AC;?- Be the Artist. Here, you had the chance to paint a manikin, using real paint. The kids really loved this as it lasted all afternoon and well into the evening.

The judges were from all over the world. First, there was 28 year veteran, 2002 world champ, Bert Verstappen of the Netherlands. Next, returning for -continued on p32-

Gorging on Chimaek Daegu’s Chimaek Festival in Hindsight • Written and Photographed by Lindsay Mickles

The Daegu Chimaek Festival was at the top of my Korea Bucket List long before I moved here. I like fried chicken but I really like good beer--a festival with BOTH??--perfect!!

The week leading up to the festival brought some high temperatures and heavy heavy rains, but the weather held out and we had a perfect Thursday and Saturday!

On Thursday, we headed to Duryu Park around 6pm.

We wanted to see what the festival was all about and to decide if we wanted to go back at all. We were very pleasantly surprised. Though not busy that day, I was amazed by the size of the festival, the number of chicken vendors and the impressive variety of craft beer.

My friends and I walked around the park to make sure we saw everything it had to offer, before settling on a place for dinner. The chicken we had first was just ok (if I’m being generous), but I was a couple beers in, so I didn’t mind too much.

After dinner, we headed down to the main stage area, where we were treated to a concert by Olltii and Cheetah. My exposure to Korean music has been limited to K-Pop and traditional music, so seeing some Rap music was a welcomed change! My friends and I really enjoyed the music and wondered what else was in store for the rest of the weekend.

Gorging on Chimaek

I really enjoyed myself at the festival on Thursday and quickly made plans to return on Saturday with another friend. This time, we arrived around 4pm--the sun was blazing and the festival was packed! My friend Kiara and I bought some water to drink between beers (best laid plans and all) and set off on our Craft Beer Pub (well--stall) crawl. While sipping on some great beer, we walked around the festival to take in the sights and scope out the chicken places we’d try for lunch and dinner.

The place we chose for dinner was hands-down the best we had at the festival. We were walking around the main festival area and saw a long line in front of one of the stalls (that was our first clue). We then realized that they were giving out samples so we could determine which chicken we liked (bonus!) and we could see that all the food was very fresh! We were sold and were very, very happy with our choice.

http://www.daegucompass.com

After dinner, we headed back up to the craft beer area to start in on our last two beers and enjoy the belly-dancing show on the small stage. After that finished, we returned to the main stage where we witnessed some sort of norebang in front of a very very large crowd (those people had nerves of steel)!

After that finished, it was time for the daily EDM party with DJ One Two. After an afternoon of sipping on some good beer and eating some fabulous chicken, that was the best way to end our evening.

Ravioli, T-Bone Steak Gnocchi, Calzone

Needless to say, I will definitely be back next year!

Welcome to the Medical Tourism Promotion Booth!

• Written by Elizabeth Riggio Photographed by EXCO

Since 2009, Daegu Metropolitan City and EXCO have worked hard to market medical tourism to the world. They have done so via promotional activities such as promotional booths, familiarization tours, and so on. What is medical tourism you might ask? It means that people from different parts of the world come to Korea for the purpose of getting certain medical treatment. And Daegu is one of the best cities for such tourism.

In 2015, promotional booths were opened at 20 event venues and included various promotional activities such as basic health check ups designed to introduce participants to what medical tourism in Daegu could offer. Promotional booths were opened at eight international events including Preview in Daegu, International Green Energy Expo & Conference, and DIOPS. It offered unique experiences in medical tour programs to its participants. More booths will be opened later this year at such events as GIF 2015, Water Expo Korea 2015, TCI Global Conference, ISES Solar World Congress 2015, and DAMEX 2015. Even if you don’t participate in one of these events, you can come to the first floor of EXCO and visit a promotional booth for the event. The purpose of these promotional booths is to spark interest in the medical tourism of Daegu.

Before the promotion, they arrange a medical tourism course keeping in mind the event’s participants. The medical promotional team puts an online ad on the event’s website page and introduces Daegu’s medical tourism opportunity. Brochures and related products are distributed to participants’ hotels to promote their booth and programs.

In order to prepare the booth itself, the medical tour promotional team discusses with an event organizing committee how and where to set up the booth, keeping in mind the convenience of the location. Interpreters should be hired in order to limit language barriers, and local clinics contacted for medical service experience. In addition, there is often a person hired who is dressed as a Daejanggeum character. Historically, Daejanggeum was a nurse for the royal family in the Joseon Dynasty who learned to cook as well as provide medicinal services to the king. The booth also brings medical equipment such as machines that check blood pressure, BMI, medical beds, acupuncture equipment, and other hands-on materials.

40

Shaping Up for Life

During the event, the booth provides certain services. They include some form of medical consulting. For example, checking blood pressure and BMI with a doctor present who can consult with participants about the results. Participants can get their pulse checked by an oriental medicinal doctor as well. If needed or desired, participants can receive acupuncture therapy. Participants will be able to apply for the medical tourism program in Daegu that allows for visits to local clinics.

Services included with that are pick up service as well as interpreting services. There is also support available for medical fees incurred depending on total cost of visits. Additionally, participants can take a picture with the Daejanggeum to document the experience.

So let’s paint an even clearer picture of what is meant by “medical tourism.” The point of it is basically two-fold: to provide medical services and to give a tour of the city of Daegu.

In terms of medical services, one would be able to visit any type of clinic they would like from oriental medicine to dental clinics, dermatologists, general health, etc. Help with booking these clinics is also available. The tour is an option so participants can be introduced to some key spots in the city if they want. Transportation and interpretation services are offered for free no matter the size of your party, and times can be adjusted according to participant’s convenience.

http://www.daegucompass.com

Ju-hyeon Park has been an interpreter who has worked at medi tour promotional booths for four years, since 2012. She says she first got involved when she took a medi tour coordinator class offered by Daegu Metropolitan City and then began work as an interpreter at EXCO. She’s involved in promotion of medical tourism as well as interpreting for various medi-tourists. When asked about one of her favorite memories from working at a promotional booth she said that during the World Water Forum, a foreigner who attended visited a promotional booth and had a medical consultation about her shoulders with an oriental medicine doctor. She helped the woman visit a local oriental medicine clinic after doing acupuncture at the booth.

As a result, the woman could finish the forum in better shoulder condition. Ju-hyeon says that many medical tourists look to Seoul or Busan for services but that Daegu also offers quality service. She hopes people will learn about the advantages of Daegu’s medical tourism and visit Daegu.

Daegu Metropolitan City and EXCO work hard to run quality promotional booths for medical tourism at international events.

The goal is that foreigners to the city can experience Daegu’s quality medical service as well as consultation. If you are interested in learning more, please visit these booths to receive information about events to attend. At the very least, you can enjoy various medical products and souvenirs as well as receive a basic health check up!

Either way, you might not be aware that South Korea actually has a killer punk scene. And while it is true a large percentage of the scene is based in Seoul, there are Koreans and foreigners busting their humps to make things happen in Daegu too. The best way for Daeguites (Daegukin?) to check this scene out is Once a Month Punk at Retro city.

Retro City is a bar that opened earlier this year near Jungangno and Daegu Station. Retro City is owned and operated by Elkim Yoon and offers live music and events every weekend. The layout and vibe of the place is very unique. There is a big dance floor as well as numerous cozy little nooks for those who prefer their privacy. It’s a great place off the usual beaten path of the one street everyone goes to. Considering wide variety of acts and musical taste of the proprietor they were more than happy to host Once a Month Punk, an event put together by Redboi and Far From Home Booking to showcase punk, hardcore, and metal from all over South Korea.

Redboi, an American hailing from Minneapolis,, grew up amid the 80’s punk scene and has been immersing himself in the Korean scene and promoting the genre around the country since stepping off the plane two years ago by networking, selling records, booking and promoting shows, and simply showing Korean punks how it’s done. Redboi has been putting together Once a Month Punk since May, so it’s still very much a new thing.

The shows are on the fourth Saturday of every month and feature three bands from Korea’s punk, metal, and hardcore scene. Past events have included local punk band Food for Worms, acts from Busan like The Bankrupts, and hardcore bands Gwamegi and End These Days. The August show also featured Yuppie Killer from Seoul. Once a Month Punk has also hosted the occasional punk themed movie night.

If you want to hear “Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle” or “Turn Down For What?” five times a night while packed tight in an overcrowded bar, you know where to go. But if you’re looking for something a bit different and want to work off some stress (and calories) in a mosh pit or try out some crowd surfing, branch out and hit up Retro City every fourth Saturday for Once a Month Punk. The October 24th show will feature Korean punks The Veggers and two more bands to be announced. If you’ve got a band playing punk, hardcore or metal and are

interested in playing contact Redboi at: redboi26@yahoo.com Retro City is located at 15 Gyodong-gil, Junggu, Daegu. Just head north from H&M along the brick pedestrian walk for 5-7 minutes. Take a left when you reach Balaji, the Indian/Nepalese restaurant. It will be a couple doors down on your right, in the basement.

Gajok

Gajok means 'family' in Korean. That's the feeling you get when you step inside this wonderful Korean restaurant. Now, before you start to get a mental picture of the food it serves, just know that most of the meat is from the thigh and not the actual foot. What??? Yes, Gajok serves pig's foot for dinner.. But it's not like you are eating the hoof of the pig. In Korea, the foot and leg seems to go hand in hand, so it is similar to eating drumsticks (chicken legs).

Enjoy!

Daehan News / Two Ppul

Grilled over an open flame. That's the concept behind Daehan News and Two Ppul.

After selecting your choice of steak or pork, a server really heats things up as it cooks your meat with a mini blowtorch. Sounds hot, right? The Korean sides provided compliment the meal perfectly. The interior of both restaurants is in true Korean 'pojang macha' style where dining around a stainless steel table with clear plastic walls sheltering you from the elements.

So next time its Korean night, head on over to either of these meaty restaurants. <Daeghan News> Open & Close: 12:00-00:00 / Tel: 053-423-3990 Add: 6, Dalgubeoldaeto446-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu <Two Ppul> Open & Close: 12:00-00:00 / Tel: 053-422-1033 Add: 7-15, Dalgubeoldaeto446-gil, Jung-gu, Daegu 68
