A private academy in South Korea, i.e. not public schools. Foreigners who teach English in South Korea either work at a public school or a hagwon, though hagwons are not only for language. There are hagwons for all school subjects and a student will attend any kind of one depending on what subject that student's parents want him or her to focus on.
I feel bad for one of my students; she goes to nine hagwons throughout the week. Her parents must be really strict.

Get the Haggon mug.A korean name. Literally translates to "heartbroken lover." Based on the Korean folk tale Han-Won Bap Shin Am, about a villager who proposes marriage to the local princess. After giving Han-won his first kiss, she leaves him after a week, and he is heartbroken, and nows never to love again.
People named Han-won have been known to dislike certain types of people. For example, will not talk to tall, masculine men of Chinese origin.
Traditionally, Han-won is usually a name given by parents who expect their child to be anti-social. Parents predict their child's social behavior with an ancient Korean ritual. They go to the village restaurant and order the traditional Korean delicacy, Bi-Bim-Bap, which features a raw egg on top of rice and meats. By tradition, if the egg does not fully cook through, the child is expected to be anti-social.
Nowadays, more modern and urban Korean parents just use Han-won as a regular name, with no special meaning.
