KMK: The Naked Day

Opinion Satire

The 사무실

Transcripts from a “frustrating-when-it’s-happening”, but “funny-in-retrospect” foreigner-infused Korean workplace.
Gaston : Rolanda how do you say “jjimjilbang” in English?

Rolanda : Umm…maybe sauna or steam room or even public bath house.

Gaston : Ok.  Tells his co-worker to call it a sauna public steam bath.

Rolanda : Well…that’s not exactly…

Gaston Interrupts.  Rolanda I have to know…do you like jjimjilbang?

Rolanda : Nah, it’s not really my thing.  But some of my friends really like it?

Gaston : You don’t like being naked?  Ha ha ha!

Rolanda : Well, it’s that and I’m not really all that interested…

Gaston Interrupts.  Ha ha ha!  You should have to wear your bathing suit, but the others will be naked!  Ha ha ha!

Rolanda : Yea, well it’s just that I’ve never been to a sauna…

Gaston Interrupts. You know it’s kind of Korean culture.

Rolanda : Being naked?

Gaston : Ha ha ha!  Noooooo.  Jjimjilbang!  Of course in the men and woman together jjimjilbang, you shouldn’t have to be naked.  Ha ha ha!

Rolanda : Oh that’s interesting.  Wishing Gaston would stop referring to me being naked or anything related.
