The purpose of this paper was to research the history of Korean restaurants in Manhattan, NY in the 1960's-1970's. These Korean restaurants were the pioneers in the globalization of Korean food.

In the 1970's, the number of Korean restaurants increased to more than 18, and their main menu items were divided into three types: Korean fusion menu such as 'Lunch Special' for American customers, beef barbecue menu for American and Korean customers, and Korean traditional menu for increasing Korean immigrants.

The purpose of this study aimed to examine the perceptual pattern of the Korean coda consonants by Chinese learners of Korean. Given that Mandarin allows only two nasals (/n, ŋ/) in the coda position, it was predicted that Chinese learners of Korean had difficulty in discriminating Korean coda consonants. In the experiment, the subjects were 21 beginner-level Chinese learners of Korean. They participated in the discrimination task four times a year in which they were asked to choose the right Korean coda consonants after listening the word from Korean native speakers. The results demonstrated that 1) Chinese learners of Korean improved their perception of the Korean coda consonants. 2) But Chinese learners of Korean performed differently according to the type of Korean coda consonants. Korean consonants /n, p, k, m/ showed significant differences, but /l, ŋ, t/ did not.

Objectives: This study reports on the efficacy of using Korean medical treatment for suspected gastric ulcer. Methods: We treated a patient with suspected gastric ulcer using Korean medical treatments (herbal medicines, acupuncture, and herbal acupuncture therapy). We evaluated the results using a numerical rating scale (NRS) to measure abdominal pain. The degree of gastrointestinal symptoms was also evaluated using the Korean Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (KGSRS). The generic health status was evaluated using the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) scale. Results: The NRS and EQ-5D scale scores were improved after the treatments. The change in the KGSRS scores showed that the patient's abdominal pain was relieved. Conclusions: The results of this case study suggest that Korean medicine therapies may be effective in the treatment of suspected gastric ulcer.
