When you search for the word 입, you'll find that one of its possible meanings is 入 (enter).

When you search for the word 구, you'll find that one of its possible meanings is 口 (opening).

Together, 입 and 구 form the word for 'entrance' which is 입구 (入口). You've just learned two Hanja

Wait, what are 'Hanja'?

Hanja are borrowed Chinese characters with Korean pronunciation. They are to Korean as Latin is to English. For example, the Hanja 書 means 'book' and it's pronounced as 서.

Why should I learn the Hanja?

1. You can use Hanja to clarify a homonym
● For example, the word 눈 could mean 'eye' or 'snow.'
○ Write 눈 as 눈(目) when you mean 'eye.'
○ Write 눈 as 눈(雪) when you mean 'snow.'

2. You might see Hanja in a newspaper
● A Korean word may be written in Hanja instead of Korean in a formal newspaper article.
○ For example, the city Busan (부산) might be written as 釜山 in a formal newspaper article.

3. Some Hanja appear in multiple words
● For example, 電/전/lightning appears in the words
○ Electricity/전기/電氣
○ Battery/전지/電池
○ Electrician/전공/電工

Q. How much is shipping, and how long does it take?

All of our products are shipped from Korea to the rest of the world, so a global shipping fee applies to every order. Shipping costs and delivery times vary depending on your country.

To see exactly how much shipping costs and how long it takes to reach your country, just click Calculate and see the shipping cost below the Add to Cart button.

Q. When will my subscription box ship?

Our subscription and curated boxes (Daebak Box, Daebak K-Beauty Box, SnackFever, and Collab Box) ship right after a 2–3 business day processing period from the time your order is placed.

Q. How do recurring subscriptions work?

For recurring subscriptions, your next order is automatically created exactly 3 months after your original order date. Once that order is generated, it ships after the same 2–3 business day processing period.

Q. ⚠️ Important: Can I order products from different brands together?

Please order items from the same brand together, and avoid mixing different brands in a single order.

Each Korean brand we carry uses its own shipping carrier, so combining products from different brands in one order may result in higher shipping costs. For example, Brand A may ship via FedEx while Brand B ships via Korea Post, meaning a mixed order is handled as separate shipments.

To keep your shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing a separate order for each brand.

Returns & Refunds

Returns

We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it: unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You'll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

For individual brand products (all items other than our boxes, such as Daebak Box, Daebak Beauty Box, SnackFever, and Collab Box), returns, exchanges, and refunds are handled directly by the respective Korean brand. Once you contact us, we will connect you with the relevant brand and share their instructions, as each brand manages its own return and shipping process.
