Could you recommend me Korean universities with a good Master's degree for graphic design in English?

You're smart to think about this early, since architecture and graphic design are a pretty natural combo in Korea's design industry. KAIST's graduate school of design runs a fully English-taught master's in industrial design that lets you focus on visual communication, and their facilities are genuinely impressive. It's in Daejeon rather than Seoul, about an hour by KTX, but the student housing is cheap and the campus is quiet for studying.

For a more Seoul-based option, Sogang University has a graduate program in media engineering that covers a lot of graphic design territory in English. It's not a pure design department, but the tech focus pairs well with an architecture background and Sogang's campus is right by Hongdae where all the design studios are. Most of these programs will expect a portfolio that shows some design thinking even if your bachelor's is in architecture, so start collecting your best studio work now.

honestly if you're doing architecture first, you might want to check out Yonsei University. their architecture program is pretty solid and they have a graduate school of communication & arts that does graphic design related stuff in english. it's not a pure "graphic design major" but more like visual communication design which is basically the same thing here

also Kookmin University has a decent design grad program with some english courses, especially in their techno design department. it's less famous than hongik but the facilities are newer and the professors are more chill about mixing different design fields. just keep in mind that "english taught" in korea often means only 30-50% of your classes will actually be in english, the rest you'll need korean for

Hongik University is probably your best bet for graphic design in English, it's the big name for art and design here. You might also look into Ewha Womans University or Seoul National University, but their English-taught design programs could be more limited.

the whispering thing is real but its not about the sauce lol. that guy runs a 2am handoff with the chicken supplier, they drop off fresh birds from a farm near Chuncheon three times a week instead of using the frozen stuff most hongdae spots rely on. thats why the texture hits different, not the sauce itself. if u go back ask for the neck & wing combo off menu, its cheaper & honestly the best cut they do

the thing nobody mentions is that Dogdogdog's sauce gets its body from cheong, the Korean rice syrup, not sugar. thats why it coats the wing so thick and stays glossy instead of going sticky. i asked a guy who worked there and he said they also add a splash of maesil (plum) extract at the end off the heat. that fruity tang under the garlic is what you're tasting. go on a weekday before 6, weekends the wait hits 40 min easy.

honestly the "secret sauce" thing is prob just marketing. every fried chicken place in Seoul has a version of that story. the real difference at Dogdogdog is they double fry in rice bran oil and toss the wings in the sauce twice, once right out of the fryer and again after a 30 sec rest. thats where the crunch comes from, not some mystery ingredient. if u wanna taste the actual base, order the banban half plain half spicy and dip the plain one in the spicy sauce yourself.
