Here is a clip from a great Korean movie (My Sassy Girl / 엽기적인 그녀) which showcases three emoticons used by Koreans that you generally won’t find in America.
^^ is a gleeful face, .\/. is a mad face, and *____* is a smiling face. I’m sure you could already know that by watching the clip, but there’s the definitions anyways.
Is the video broken? Please comment so I can find a new copy. Thanks!
