Pann: Hardest question of Samsung's entrance exams

1. [+148, -11] 1. The rest of them is a part of something but 1 is the whole thing.

2. [+114, -0] This was written in an article, OP isn't lying ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was Samsung exams indeed.

3. [+87, -3] The comments are clueless. When you apply for major companies, you have multiple choice tests, not interviews. After you pass the test, you qualify for an interview. There are answers for the questions. What do you know to claim that there's no specific answer?

4. [+46, -2] Characteristic of this type of question - they don't tell you the answer.

5. [+40, -2] I thought of 3. So what's Samsung's answer?

6. [+26, -5] 1. Only 1 can circulate without stopping.

7. [+24, -11] Am I the only one who thinks it's 3? Usually, it's spring-summer-autumn-winter or winter-spring-summer-autumn but since it's autumn-winter-spring, it doesn't feel like it starts from the beginning.

8. [+18, -3] The answer is 4. Morning, afternoon, evening: the Sun. The day is divided by the Earth's rotation. May, June, July: the Sun. The months are divided by the Earth's cycle of revolution. Autumn, winter, spring: the Sun. The seasons are divided by the Earth's cycle of revolution. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: religion. It's not decided by time or temperature, people made 24 hours for convenience.

9. [+15, -0] Isn't the answer 4 since it uses "on" for preposition but the rest uses "in"? As an English major, this was my first thought ㅋㅋㅋㅋ In the morning, In May, In Summer, On Sunday.

10. [+14, -1] 1. The rest is clearly meant to indicate time but morning/afternoon/evening can also mean breakfast/lunch/dinner.

(tn: words like morning/breakfast are the same in Korean)

Phone call anxiety?

Pann: I thought I was the only one who did this

When someone you don't know well calls you - you mute the phone and ignore the call
When someone you know well calls you - you contemplate for a moment, ignore the call, and text them "Why did you call me?"
When you end up answering the call - You don't know what to say and you're too lazy to answer. When the call drags on, you put it on speaker and browse Facebook and talk lamely. After hanging up, you think, "Ah, talking to someone on the phone is so awkward."

-

1. [+329, -278] Is this a new mental illness?

2. [+321, -62] I even avoid calling my close friends... Please don't call me, it's so awkward.

3. [+267, -32] It's so me... I feel like it's a waste of time because I don't know how long the phone call will be.

4. [+152, -10] I hate it when I'm on the phone with my friend while I'm busy and my friend is on their way to home, and they hang up as they reach home.

5. [+97, -149] Why are so many people mental? This must be the result of not learning basic manners at a young age. People like them have no social skills.

6. [+95, -4] I thought this was talking about me.

7. [+77, -8] Wow, I actually find phone calls more comfortable. I talk more on the phone than in person. During school break, I used to talk to my friend for 2 hours at night everyday ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The friend got charged over $50 for phone bills.

8. [+75, -2] Me... I even hate calling my close friends.

9. [+61, -1] There's no way I can get a boyfriend. I see couples posting screenshots of calling their significant other for an hour on Facebook. How do they do that? I wanted to set a record like that in middle school, so I asked my friend to help and we did set a record. We just did our own things on the phone without saying anything.

10. [+55, -1] Agreed ㅋㅋㅋㅋ If it's from a number I don't know, I don't answer the call. I'd text them "Who is this?" and save their number on Katalk to see their profile picture.

11. [+49, -40] It's puberty.

12. [+41, -1] Phone call anxiety is real. I also mute the phone and don't answer the call. After a couple of hours, I'd text, "Sorry, I was busy and couldn't answer." I really hate phone calls, please don't call me.

13. [+33, -21] This place is full of outsiders.

14. [+31, -0] But texting would take 30 minutes whereas a phone call would take 2 minutes.

15. [+28, -6] This is a little... I think your social skills are very lacking. You can't avoid phone calls forever. I think it's something you should fix.

Front shots of sparrows

Pann: Front shots of sparrows

1. [+184, -3] They're cute but they look like ajummas that nag all the time ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+142, -1] I could never see their faces because they're so tiny and fast ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hello

3. [+82, -1] Angry bird

4. [+36, -0] They look determined even before they speak ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+31, -2] I'm flustered because this is very different from the image I thought.

6. [+28, -0] Their feathers must be fat from the cold weather ㅋㅋㅋ Why so mad

7. [+24, -1] They look really stubborn.

8. [+17, -1] So cute ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Animals are love.

9. [+13, -0] They're wearing black blusher.

10. [+12, -0] Serious and cute.

Which group of shops would you choose to have near your home?

The group you choose will be reachable from your home within 1 minute. The other group will be 30 minutes far.

Group 1: Starbucks, Mom's Touch (chicken & burger), Dunkin Donuts, Tous Les Jours (bakery), LOHBS (beauty store), Subway

Group 2: Angel in-us (coffee shop), Daiso (dollar store), Olive Young (beauty store), Paris Baguette (bakery), Burger King, Baskin Robbins

-

Pann: If these shops were to be made within 1-minute distance from your home, which group would you pick?

1. [+284, -31] 2222222

2. [+178, -13] Definitely 1.

3. [+113, -15] 1111111

4. [+43, -6] Isn't it obviously 1? Daiso and Olive Young are a must but you could buy their stuff in hoards so I think it's fine to have them 30 minutes away. You could just go to LOHBS if it's emergency. Starbucks is the best cafe and Subway and Dunkin are good to have nearby for meals. Angel-in-us is so inconsistent. Mom's Touch has more selections and are better than Burger King. Tous Les Jours and Paris Baguette are pretty much the same. You can drop by Baskin Robbins while going to Olive Young or Daiso. I hate myself for being serious about this...

5. [+24, -0] At a glance, I'd choose 1 but 2 is more comfortable to have near your place. Daiso, Paris Baguette, and Baskin Robbins need to be around your place so that you can go to them in slippers.

6. [+20, -1] 2222222 Everything aside, there's no substitute for Baskin Robbins.

7. [+18, -0] It's 2 for sure but not Angel-in-us ㅋㅋ

8. [+12, -0] 2 just for the Burger King.

High-waisted pants get mixed opinions?

Pann: Pants that get very mixed opinions

1. [+610, -7] I find pants that come up to your pelvis more uncomfortable. It feels like my bone is getting squeezed.

2. [+453, -15] I really hate low-rise pants. They press my pelvis really hard and I have to worry about my underwear showing, ugh.

3. [+235, -4] Mid-high pants are perfect.

4. [+89, -1] Do the shops even sell low-rise pants anymore? I only see high-waisted or mid-high pants.

5. [+78, -3] The person who invented high-waisted pants deserves an award.

6. [+65, -5] From the front, high-waisted pants make your legs look longer. But if the person doesn't have firm hips, the hips look really sagging and big from the back ㅋㅋㅋㅋ That's why I don't wear them.

7. [+35, -0] The pants that are short on both the top and bottom are the worst. They make my legs look shorter and show my underwear... Pants must have a long top and bottom!

8. [+30, -3] Mid-high is the best... My lower belly is fat and the pants cover it perfectly. My belly looks less fat.

9. [+28, -0] Those who like them: skinny people. Those who hate them: non-skinny people. I'm not skinny and they hurt my stomach, so I avoid high-waisted pants ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+26, -0] Slacks high-waisted pants are so pretty and comfy.

11. [+22, -0] High-waisted pants go really well with crop tops.

12. [+18, -1] I hate high-waisted pants ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Top is too long.

Gucci's new tote bag

"Vintage tote bag that brings back the vibes from 1970~1980's which was a period full of practical and useful designs"

$1300

Pann: Gucci bag that's going viral for its pretty looks

1. [+95, -0] When I see things like this, I feel like the designers are testing the consumers for how stupid they can be. But if this ends up becoming a trend, people will even buy the fake ones.

2. [+74, -0] No matter how I look at it, it looks like a laundry bag~

3. [+70, -0] That's a laundry bag.

4. [+24, -0] Are they testing the consumers? "Let's see how much they will buy as long as our brand name is stuck to it..."

5. [+20, -0] It looks like the laundry bag in my home.

6. [+14, -0] Without the logo, it would look like you're going to do groceries.

7. [+9, -0] Gucci is losing it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ In the beginning, their designs targeting the young audience were great but they're reaching now ㅋㅋㅋ The Gucci grandpa who passed away will be coming out of his grave to kill the designer.

8. [+9, -0] It's better to buy a laundry bag from the dollar store ㅋㅋ

Pann: Physical defects that decrease the quality of your life

1. [+431, -3] Please include irritable bowel syndrome ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+291, -2] 26) Acne. F*ck.

3. [+227, -7] Why is hair not on the list? I have so much hair... I even have hair around my nipples. Am I the only one? It's so frustrating.

4. [+68, -0] Canker sores should also be on the list... It's so painful.

5. [+59, -1] 5) Excessive sweating is such a b*tch. I sweat even when I have a sudden turn in emotions. I always high-five with the back of my hands and wash my neck every second period and wipe it off with tissue. I hate summer the most.

6. [+53, -0] Atopy is the worst. When I used to have serious atopy, I always put my head down. When I saw myself in the mirror, I wondered if this was really a human face. My skin looked cracked, red, and bumpy... I could only envy and cry when I saw people with good skin.

7. [+50, -0] Where's irritable bowel syndrome? This sh*t drives me crazy. Every time I'm nervous, my stomach hurts and growls so bad.

8. [+44, -0] TMJ disorder, f*ck...

9. [+40, -0] F*cking rhinitis, I have two mountains of tissue beside me right now.

10. [+39, -0] Vaginitis is the most painful one and I can't even tell anyone about it.

11. [+35, -1] Shut up if you don't have balding. Balding drives you crazy and there's not even a solution.

12. [+31, -0] 26) Armpit smell

13. [+28, -0] 26) Migraines

14. [+28, -0] Can you include acne and text neck syndrome... It's so stressful.

Japanese-themed pub in Hongdae gets replaced with North Korean-themed pub

New North Korea-themed pub

Pann: A big Japanese-themed pub in Hongdae is gone

1. [+432, -3] What the f*ck, is the landlord crazy or something?

2. [+319, -5] The picture of Kim Il Sung... Gives me goosebumps.

3. [+114, -2] Would people even go there? People might go to Japanese-themed pubs because they like the Japanese vibes but who likes North Korean vibes?

4. [+101, -2] I hope the pub flops. Those who go to the pub will be seen as North Korean spies.

5. [+54, -7] Seeing the things that are happening recently, unification under communism doesn't seem too impossible.

6. [+51, -7] I hate North Korea more.

7. [+46, -0] Wow, they're putting up a picture of the person who caused 6.25 War and killed a lot of our ancestors. This is like putting up a picture of Hitler in Europe to run a pub.

8. [+45, -0] They must be out of their mind.

Siblings preferred by men & women

Sibling wanted by men
1) Older sister (58.1%)
2) Younger sister (19.3%)
3) Younger brother (16.4%)
4) Older brother (6.2%)

Sibling wanted by women
1) Older sister (41.4%)
2) Younger sister (24.6%)
3) Older brother (17.1%)
4) Younger brother (14.9%)

Why men don't want a hyung:
- He threatens my life
- He hits me often
- He orders me around

Why men want a noona:
- She'd take care of me like mom
- She'd give me allowance
- It's hard when you're young but better as you age

Why women want an unnie:
- I can tell her everything
- We fight often but she's also my best friend
- We can rely on each other as we age

Why women don't want a younger brother:
- I have to take care of him
- He's younger but he tries to act older
- There's biased treatment for brothers

=

Pann: Sibling relationship preferred by men & women

1. [+203, -8] Everyone prefers an older sister. As someone who's an unnie, I feel bitter. You can see that everybody wants to be in the comfortable position and don't want to be the one who has to take care of others. I hate being the oldest sister. And noonas don't want a younger brother but younger brothers want a noona because the noonas will cook the meal for them. Men hate fellow men and women also hate men.

2. [+116, -7] I'm a woman with a sister, I think being sisters is the best. We can share makeup and clothes, go shopping together, ask for opinions, and share our feelings.

3. [+110, -1] Men expect noonas to act like their mom? Wow

4. [+51, -1] Considering the lives of the kids excluding the parents, I think being sisters is the best. When I see my mom and aunts, they seemed to fight when they were young but as they aged, they became best friends and started traveling and shopping together.

5. [+38, -2] At least a younger brother can be cute. Having an oppa is the most useless thing. I have to treat his wife like my unnie, too. It's so annoying.

6. [+29, -1] I'm the oldest sister with one younger brother. I agree with every reason to not want a younger brother.

7. [+28, -2] I want a younger sister, I want to take care of her. My oppa is so freaking useless.

8. [+23, -1] I like my unnie as much as my parents ㅋㅋㅋ Sisters are either best friends or strangers. My friend and her sister treat each other like a stranger.

20-years-old woman turns into a flower boy after a haircut

Before:

After:

Pann: What happens when a 20-years-old woman cuts her hair short

1. [+606, -32] Many Western women cut their hair short but Western men don't find them masculine at all because in the West, the looks of men and women are very different in terms of build, beard, and etc. So when a woman has short hair or even shaves her head, they don't find it masculine. However, Asian men find it masculine when Asian women cut their hair short because most Asian men have a small body build. Even on TV, you can notice that male idols' body build is no different from girls. That's why we think this woman looks like a handsome flower boy.

2. [+292, -4] Wow... Her face alone would be so popular by women.

3. [+271, -23] She turned from an average girl to a handsome guy.

4. [+153, -3] She can beat any average guy, so handsome ㅋㅋ

5. [+151, -10] Seeing how an average girl transforms into a celebrity after a haircut, I realize how ugly Korean men are.

6. [+82, -1] I had short hair during middle school, high school, and university. The advantage is that you never get harassed sexually. Those who sexually harass women think as long hair = women. I have big breasts but no one looked at me and I never got harassed. My first sexual harassment was when I grew my hair to waist length. He touched my butt with his penis, ugh... Anyways, I recommend short hair if you want to be safe.

7. [+57, -0] Wow, she looks like Park Bogum. And her nose is so pretty.

8. [+56, -0] She looks like a deer and Park Bogum.

9. [+50, -2] She'll debut for sure if she appears on Produce 101.

All-black interior designs are bad in real life?

Pann: Interior design that's actually bad in real life

1. [+422, -2] I feel like there needs to be a pyramid in the center ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+276, -2] It doesn't even look clean... It looks gloomy.

3. [+241, -2] I think it'll make people depressed.

4. [+107, -1] As someone who lived in many places, a bright place is the best...

5. [+83, -1] You wouldn't be able to tell if there's a cockroach...

6. [+69, -1] I'm a homebody but if I stay there on the weekend, I'd feel like I'm in a coffin.

7. [+60, -1] It looks good only in pictures. It's really not good in real life. Don't ever use black for interior design. Black makes the space look more stuffy than white.

8. [+53, -0] There's a reason why people use colors like white blue or ivory for interior designs ㅋㅋ

9. [+41, -2] Even when I was watching Sky Castle, I felt stuffy.

10. [+39, -1] It'll be hard to clean since you can see every dust.

11. [+28, -1] This is totally my type and my current place looks like this. I'm satisfied. As someone who feels comfortable at a dim place, it's my preference.

12. [+25, -0] A hyung I know lives in a place like this. The disadvantage is you can't spot mosquitos. I want to freaking kill the mosquito that sucked my blood but it's gone within seconds. It's so annoying.

Picasso's drawing talent

Age 9 - Started observing and drawing human

Age 10 - Started grasping and drawing objects

Age 11 - Started drawing strategically for realistic portrait

Age 12

Age 14

Age 15

Age 50

Pann: Picasso's drawing talent

1. [+88, -0] I found this to be the most impressive. The drawings look abstract and simple but the process isn't simple. Art is cool. 

2. [+87, -1] I think you have to be talented to have your own style of drawing and to be able to express in your own ways.

3. [+82, -7] What's with these people making fun of the last painting ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Picasso's talent was already at its peak. He was trying to portray innocence of a child that can't be seen from adults.

4. [+47, -0] I looked at the first picture and thought it was so-so, but I was shocked that it was done at the age of 9... Sorry...

5. [+25, -0] It reminds me of this anecdote of Picasso. A painter brought a realistic painting of a cat and told him, "I can draw well like this. Your drawings are like a kid's." Then Picasso said, "A drawing like this?" and drew the exact same cat in a few minutes...

6. [+24, -0] The fact that he thought of going through the process shows he's a genius.

7. [+22, -0] Do you not realize how great fauvism is... If there weren't artists like Picasso, the contemporary art would've been behind for a few centuries. In the past, art was only about drawing a person or an object as realistic as they could. But since the creation of cameras, they didn't need to draw the same thing anymore. Fauvists are those who revolutionized and opened the new era of art. The drawings that no one can understand. You take these random drawings for granted, right? If there weren't artists like him, we would've had this type of art much later.

Swimming isn't an exercise for losing weight?

Pann: The reality of swimming diet

(Pann talks about how swimming makes you eat a lot)

1. [+174, -9] I thought this was about SNSD Sooyoung.

2. [+174, -2] You end up eating a lot, pooping a lot and sleeping a lot. Your stamina increases so much and you become very healthy in general ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+135, -3] I recommend swimming for those who have zero strength. Once you come back from swimming, you don't even have energy to eat and just pass out.

4. [+53, -2] I've been swimming for 15 years. Swimming isn't an exercise for losing weight. The temperature of the water is below the temperature of your body. So in order to maintain your body temperature, your brain tries to thicken the skin fat and it increases your appetite more than any other exercise. If you want to lose weight, you have to do weights to increase your basal metabolism and then do cardio.

5. [+51, -1] Everything aside, swimming completely ruins your hair and skin...

6. [+45, -2] Even when you go to a water park or a wave pool and just float on a tube, you get sleepy and pass out as soon as you get home ㅋㅋ

7. [+43, -0] Swimming ruins my skin so much, though ㅠㅠ

8. [+41, -0] After I finish swimming, I walk towards the shower room and in that moment, the craving for cup ramen is so strong.

9. [+40, -2] Hul, I was gonna sign up for swimming classes next week ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+34, -0] If there's a swimming instructor or a fitness trainer that tries to introduce you to swimming to lose weight, they're either a fraud or have no idea what they're doing.

11. [+30, -0] I have to eat rice cake skewers after swimming. Or else I'll pass out on my way home.

12. [+25, -0] Of all exercises I've done, swimming made me eat the most. I'm just so hungry ㅋㅋㅋㅋ After swimming, I could eat a whole pizza with 8 slices.

Willis Haviland Carrier
Born on Nov 26, 1876
Created air conditioner on Jul 13, 1902 when he was 25

Pann: The age of air conditioner creator when he created air conditioner

1. [+343, -1] He saved more people than any other doctor.

2. [+300, -3] He's the greatest person in history.

3. [+131, -11] He's more amazing than Edison.

4. [+61, -2] We shall worship him as the god of summer. Everybody should have a mini statue of him in their pocket and cherish it all the time.

5. [+55, -0] I also believe that the person who created a washing machine deserves Nobel Peace Prize.

6. [+48, -1] At this point, is there anyone who can create an air conditioner that doesn't use too much electricity?

7. [+38, -3] He saved more people than Jesus.

8. [+34, -1] November 26 should be a holiday for the creator of air conditioner.

9. [+30, -0] I would've died if there was no air conditioner.

10. [+26, -0] Father
