My student presented me with this portrait of my 실체 [sil-che = “true character, essence”].
Apparently, it turns out that my true character is that I’m a couch potato ajeossi demanding food.
I asked, who’s going to be bringing me my food – in the picture I’m demanding “밥 줘” [bap-jweo = “gimme food”].
She explained that my “double” (some kind of doppelganger, it seems) would be waiting on me. I said that sounded convenient.
