Inside, you will decode:The Social Code: Master the art of sseom (the "something" stage) and mildang (the push-pull game).The Life Code: Uncover the real meaning behind birthday seaweed soup, moving-day jjajangmyeon, and the ever-present sheet mask ritual.The Drinking Code: Learn the complex etiquette of the soju bottle—the two-handed pour, the head turn, and the empty glass rule.The Class Code: Understand the "Spoon Class System" (geumsujeo vs. heuksujeo) and how it fuels the plot of your favorite romances. 
Each chapter gives you a "Decoder's Playbook" for real-life situations and "Level-Up Vocabulary" to sound like a pro.
