Busan is a southern port city in South Korea and is considered the second capital of the nation.

According to Kevin Nam in KISJ, aka the "Jong-ro boy", it is a famous city for needing a "rowing boat" to travel around the region and is also notorious for lacking electricity.

However, according to a teacher in KISJ, it is a better city to live in than Seoul - the capital for the following reasons.

Seoul vs Busan

--> Do you have rowing boats as main transportation?: Busan wins
--> Can you catch fish?: Busan wins
--> Can you catch seaweeds when turning on the faucet?: Busan wins
--> Is the air quality good?: Draw

Result: Busan wins by 3 to 0

Nevertheless, Busan is an awesome city with good seafood, but the famous Marine City is not a good place to live in, as they are full of arrogant riches.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
