• Meet the students of a BGCF Korean Class  　Busan City and the Busan Global City Foundation have been offering free Korean classes for foreign residents in Busan. In this issue, we meet some enthusiastic students who share their stories.■The gracious neighbor in Busan　Jindi, a visitor from China, has been living in Busan for three months while her daughter studies in the city. She began learning Korean to manage everyday situations such as talking to neighbors, ordering food, and visiting banks. Her favorite Korean expression is "편해요 (pyeon-hae-yo)," meaning "comfortable," which she uses to describe her life in Busan. "It's really convenient and pleasant to live here," she said.　She recalled a funny experience from her early lessons when she used formal endings like "습니다 (seum-ni-da)" with everyone, making her sound like a news anchor to younger people. Despite the language challenges, Jindi said Busan has been welcoming to foreigners. "Busan is a fantastic global tourism city with beautiful beaches, great food, and warm-hearted people," she said, adding that free translation support from Busan Global Village helped her at a hospital. "For foreigners who don't speak Korean well, Busan is a very comfortable place to live."■The warmhearted mother by the sea　Mayang, from Indonesia, has lived in Busan for a year and a half, finding comfort and kindness in the coastal city. Her motivation to learn Korean began when her young son was hospitalized soon after their arrival, and she struggled to communicate with doctors and nurses. 　"I realized I had to learn Korean for a better and more comfortable life," she said. 　Among her favorite Korean words is 바다 (ba-da), meaning "ocean," which she finds beautiful and straightforward, a word that connects her love of the sea in both Indonesia and Busan.　Mayang recalled an embarrassing yet funny moment during a Pilates class when she casually greeted an older classmate with "안녕 (an-nyeong)" instead of the more polite "안녕하세요 (an-nyeong-ha-se-yo)." 　She laughed at the memory, saying it taught her a valuable lesson about Korean manners. 　She described the people of Busan, especially older adults, as warm and welcoming. "They always smile and greet my son kindly," she said. 　For Mayang, Busan's friendliness and seaside charm make it a city where life feels genuinely at home.■The thoughtful economist from Qingdao　Wuying, a doctoral student from Qingdao, China, has spent the past two years in Busan studying economics while learning Korean. He chose the city for its closeness to home and its pleasant climate, describing Busan as "comfortable and convenient." 　Balancing his major and language studies has been challenging, but he finds progress rewarding. "At first, I couldn't understand what people were saying, but now I can catch some sentences and express simple ideas," he said with a smile.　He called Busan a welcoming city with easy transportation, diverse food, and friendly people. "You can go anywhere by bus or taxi, and the people are very kind," he noted. 　Though he enjoys Korean music, he laughed, "I like music, but I'm not good at dancing." For Wuying, life in Busan is not only convenient but also fulfilling, a place where studying, culture and everyday life blend harmoniously.Watch interview feed : ClickStart learning Korean! : bgcf.or.kr

The fireworks start at 7 p.m. At 7:15 p.m., Hibikiya Omagari Hanabi will present a special show of traditional Japanese fireworks.　The main event begins at 7:35 p.m. with fireworks set off against the iconic Gwangandaegyo Bridge.The view from Jangsan MountainThe view from Geumnyeonsan Mountain　Although the Busan Fireworks Festival is centered at Gwangalli Beach, there are several spots citywide that offer excellent views of the show. For smaller crowds, head to Marine City, Dongbaekseom Island, or Jangsan Mountain in Haeundae-gu District or Yonghoman Bay Reclamation Pier or Yongho Starlight Park in Nam-gu District. 　Additionally, people can find excellent vantage points on Geumnyeonsan or Hwangnyeongsan mountains.　As the chilly sea breeze sweeps in toward the end of the final fireworks display, bringing warm items such as a blanket or jacket is highly recommended. To stay comfortable throughout the event, consider preparing light snacks and a mat in advance to fend off hunger or evening chill. While the splendid scenery pairs beautifully with a drink, please enjoy responsibly and in moderation.

Life

• [My Busan Story] True power comes from calmness 　"My Busan Story" is a special series by Busan's English-language newspaper, inviting foreign residents to share their unique perspectives on life in the city. From unforgettable experiences and travel episodes to small everyday joys, these stories highlight the diverse voices that make Busan feel like home. This month, we introduce the story of Rosliakov Fedor from Russia.Rosliakov Fedor in the kendo armor, "bogu."　When I first started practicing kendo at Pusan National University and then in Eunsanjae Dojo, I was drawn to it by both curiosity and a sense of admiration for the discipline and philosophy behind traditional martial arts. As an international student in Korea, joining the Kendo club was also my way of immersing myself deeper into East Asian culture and building connections with local students.　However, the path was not easy. Many of the basic techniques were difficult for me to master. Despite being physically strong, I found myself struggling with movements that required precision, rhythm, and above all, relaxation. My seniors noticed that I was often too tense and relied heavily on physical force rather than smooth and efficient technique. They gently pointed out that in kendo, true power comes from calmness, not from brute strength.　It took me a while to understand the true meaning of these words, but this insight changed my perspective. I realized that this tendency to overexert myself wasn't limited to Kendo - it was a reflection of how I approached challenges in life. I often tried too hard, pushing forward without enough composure, which only drained my energy.　To address this, I began not only refining my basics in the dojo but also practicing yoga and meditation outside of training. I learned to breathe, to observe and to let go. One of the most unforgettable moments was when I was allowed to wear the "bogu," or armor, for the first time and had my first real match. Although I lost 1:2, I won the first round, and the experience brought me immense joy and a sense of growth.　Kendo continues to be a meaningful part of my life - not just as a sport, but as a path of personal development and quiet strength.
• [INTERVIEW] "I don't regret opening a business here in Busan for a single moment" Andreas, the CEO of Turmbräu 　"If I Were Reborn, I Would Live in Busan Too," a web series on BusanTube, the city's official YouTube channel, has released its fourth episode. The series features people from various backgrounds as they share their experiences of living in Busan. 　The videos offer a glimpse into life in Busan as experienced by non-Koreans, highlighting the city's unique charms from a fresh perspective. For this edition, we spoke with Andreas, a German brewmaster featured in the latest episode. As the owner of a German-style brewery, he shared his journey of running a business in Busan and reflected on what it means to craft German beer in his new home.Q. Could you please introduce yourself?A. 　My name is Andreas, and I am the CEO of Turmbräu. My family owns a brewery in Southern Germany. Together with my wife Jeongmin, we started brewing beer in Busan in 2020. We primarily brew traditional German beer styles, such as lager, wheat and rye beer, as well as local collaboration beers, such as an IPA for the restaurant Baohaus and a sour beer together with Ggulggeok House, Süden and Sans Souci. Q. What are some of the benefits and challenges of operating a brewery in Busan?A.　Busan is a great place for brewing beer because there are plenty of festivals in the summer and an increasing number of tourists from Korea and abroad. 　The business itself is not easy, though. It involves a lot of physical work, and scaling is always a challenge because equipment and operating costs are high.　At least in Busan, I can relax and have a beer at one of the beaches after a tough day!Q. What was the biggest cultural difference you noticed when you first started doing business in Korea?A.　The biggest difference is speed. People here don't have much patience, and I could see that from the beginning, especially when we renovated our brewery building or started making business contacts. 　I am used to things proceeding more slowly, but here in Korea, things get done right away. Workers will often drop by to give you an estimate on the same day, and sometimes they'll even start working right away. In Germany, most of these things will take weeks or months.　One thing that made this difference obvious to me was when we opened our brewery after about 8 months of preparations, from finding a suitable location to serving the first beer, all our Korean friends and family basically said, "Finally, what took you so long?" My German friends and family said, "Wow, you're already open? How is that possible?"Q. Since starting your business, what has been your proudest moment?A.　The proudest moment was when my parents came to our Brewery for the first time to try the beer. When brewing beer and making food, we always have those customers in mind who have been to Germany and know the original taste. With my parents, this was even more important to me, and I am very happy that they genuinely enjoyed the beer and food at Turmbräu in Busan.Q. How do you hope to further develop the brand of German beer made in Busan?A.　We want people to associate our beer with quality and authenticity, much like they do with beer brewed in Germany. Our advantage is that our beer is brewed locally in Busan and served to our customers immediately after lagering, when it has its perfect flavor. It doesn't have to be shipped in a container for several weeks before people can drink it. 　We believe Korean customers tend to associate imported beer with higher quality, which is something we want to change. Quality beer brewed right here in Busan with the best ingredients, brewing methods and passion. That's what we stand for.Q. What goals or plans do you have for the future in Busan?A.　One of my big dreams for the future is exporting Turmbräu beer made in Busan back to my hometown in Germany. That would be a very meaningful achievement. Q. Do you have any advice or words of encouragement for aspiring entrepreneurs in Busan?A.　Starting a business is never easy, especially in a competitive market like craft beer. But I don't regret opening a business here in Busan for a single moment. It's a beautiful city with friendly people who turned out to be even more open-minded and supportive than I expected. My advice would be to stay patient and persistent － building a business takes time, hard work and consistency.
