Looking for German to Korean Translator for wedding. Where to look? Fees?

check with the Goethe-Institut in Hannam-dong, they sometimes have a list of freelance translators who work with German and Korean for events. for a wedding ceremony plus maybe an hour of prep, i've seen quotes around 500k to 800k won flat, but that's for someone who knows the formalities. one thing people forget is the sound check at the venue, make sure the translator gets a quick run through the mic setup before the actual ceremony, it makes a big diff.

honestly the German Korean Association in Seoul might have a list of translators they work with, worth a shot. for weddings the rate is usually around 200k won per hour but some charge a flat fee of 500k to 1m for the whole ceremony depending on length. also make sure they understand both the German and Korean wedding traditions, not just the language.

if you're on italki or craigslist seoul you might find some german korean bilinguals who do freelance work on the side. for a wedding id budget around 200k-300k won per hour minimum, but some experienced ones charge a flat 700k-1m for the whole event plus rehearsal. also check if they've done weddings before - the flow matters more than perfect vocab during vows

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.
