Is there some trick to Korean kitchen sinks? Mine will not turn on. I also see no button for the garbage disposal. I searched under the sink, but nothing. I'm starting to feel more than a little inept. My bathroom works fine, so I know the water works. I even managed to figure out how to re-program my door lock, but the sink, the freaking kitchen sink, has perplexed me. It has one pull up handle and a movable shower head type faucet. Does anyone have any help they can give? Also, before anyone mentions it, I have not seen a landlord yet. I came home and there was a refrigerator in my place, but that's the extent. I'm still waiting on my other stuff.

Open the water valve.

Just under the faucet you will see a piece that you can take a flat-head screwdriver to. Take a flat-head screwdriver to it. Or a knife will work. Or maybe a spoon. You want to turn the screw counter/anti clockwise. That means turn it to the left. After you do that water will flow and spray with abandon.

Good luck, enjoy the new apartment.
