Tang seems to involve the meat being boiled for a long time - 12/13 hours I've heard.
Not too sure about the rest.

Guk is clear, more like broth. Chigae is stew. You can throw anything in stew.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. |

I was eating 육개장 this morning, and I started wondering why isn't this a tchigae? The definition for tchigae is "large chunks of meat or vegetables left in the liquid," which pretty much sums up 육개장.
Dammit, I want answers!

That is so not the joke.
Will Smith's friend goes to the bathroom and when he comes back asks Will what he is getting.
Will says he is getting bibimbap and his friend says "What else?" So, Will replies with "Gettin Chigae with it" |

Tang: Thick, richer broth with more ingredients than a guk, but often less than a chiggae. Although several are spicy, the nomenclature tang do not imply heat strongly. Zum beispiel: chogae-tang, seolleong tang.
Jang: see Tang.
Chiggae: A stew. More ingredients than a guk, somewhat similar to a tang, but spiciness is implied by the label. I personally like to think of a chiggae as a robust tang with balls. Zum Beispiel: budae, kimchi, sun-dubu chiggaes. De-lisch.
Guk: Soup. Usually has less ingredients or less meat than the other forms of liguid meal as can be evidenced in the difference between Kimchi Chiggae and Kimchi Guk. The most representative example to the average Korean is miyeok-guk. Although hye-jang-guk seems to live outside this definition, it doesn't. Shut up.
Now, mods, this clearly, clearly deserves a sticky: not because it is that useful, but because it is evidence that Sparkles has been in Korea for as long as he has and still doesn't have a clue.

You forgot to throw Juks and Jeongols in the mix.  |
Juk: Rice porridge made by letting the rice grains pop and flake over the course of what is generally a 24 hour period. Varieties of combinations of different ingredients can be added to the mix--red beans, pumpkin, abalone, ginseng, pine nuts, vegetables, chicken, mushrooms and bean sprouts--some pretty foo-foo fusion versions exist as well.
Important Note: Should never be classified or associated with tangs, chiggaes, jeongols, and guks . I really have no idea what CP was thinking...
Jeongol: A hearty reduced soup that was upon a time a court delicacy and at a later time served to special guests, but at this time can be considered the bachelor food of the Korean drenched dining options due to the less than refined innovations such as mandu jeongol that include even the kitchen sink among their ingredients and are all in some way derivatives of budae chiggae.
Exeunt.

Tangs are prepared in the kitchen individually, each person has their own bowl.
The others can be cooked in the middle of the table and shared. |

Respectfully sir, no.
The gang can sit around a bowl of haemul-tang or maeun-tang and have fun with jung. |

Hmm.
Good point.
Tangs are from Venus, chigaes are from Mars. |

Following are the various soup-type dishes and their heavenly affiliations:
Tangs: Neptune
Chiggaes: Saturn
Jeongols: Uranus(of course)
Guks: Ganymede
Juk: The Further Apkujeong Regions of Teegeeack |

This I cannot dispute. Yet, neither can I accept it as a defining characteristic of guk-ness, and therefore you are dimissed with a derisive wave of my hand. |
