Why is soup cooked hot enough to remove paint? And since it's in an iron bowl it takes like 20 minutes to cool down. I'm always staring at it waiting to cool.
And second issue. How do you expect me to eat a soup made with bone-in fish? I'm picking bones out of the soup. |

Shhh, it'll be okay. We can get through this together.
First, I want you to lift your spoon off the table with your right hand. You are right-handed, aren't you? Doesn't matter! Use your right hand. Second, I want you to place your spoon in your bowl of hot fish soup. Stir counter clockwise 5 times while reciting, "Fishy, fishy hot pepper paste. Kimchi, kimchi hot stone pot." Look to your left. Look to your right. Now look left again. Is anyone looking at you? They are an agent. Blow them a kiss.
Place your spoon across your bowl with the handle facing east. Hover your head over the bowl. Inhale the steam. Does it smell delicious? Do you want to eat it? Not just yet.
Hold your chopsticks in your newly freed right hand. Open and shut the ends together 22 times. I'll wait.
Excellent. You are now ready use your chopsticks. Pick up one piece of kimchi from the top. This has been poisoned. Throw it in your cup of water. Take the piece directly below it. This is delicious. Eat it.
Assuming you have completed my instructions to the letter, you should now be filled with the knowledge to eat your soup. You don't need me anymore.
Godspeed, Who's Your Daddy?, and be well with your stew. |

Koreans think hot soup in summer cools you down, despite the world having figured out thermodynamics decades ago. |

The application of thermodynamics of bodies of organic materials is pretty complicated, most work in thermodynamics is done on mostly bodies of inorganic material like huge slabs of concrete or metal. Anyways, it's the spice that cools you down. Spice makes you sweat therefore releasing your body's natural cool-down defences. |

Which is clearly why KongGukSu and Naengmyeon are never served in summer and are scalding hot. |

Yes, that porridge is too hot, Goldilocks. Avoid nengmyun. That porridge is too cold. I recommend some jook. That porridge is just right...and the most akin to porridge.
Be thankful. Just consider it an assurance that bacteria are being killed in a country that, judging by the grimy bar of soap and wet rag next to many a bathroom sink, judges hygiene and sanitation so highly. |

Yes, because hot object + hot object = cooler object.
And as if Koreans needed a reason to sweat in the summer? How about the heat and stifling humidity? That do much for ya? |

its called a negative feedback system-homoeostasis, by making the body hotter through hot and/or spicy food is causes the body to cool down, which is why drinking really cold water can make your body temperature go up...
And actually Koreans traditionally ate 냉면 in the winter because,well, there is ice in it and there weren't always refrigerators... |
