Pitying someone comes from the heart. It's not a need. —EPISODE 3
Doom at Your Service, 2021
ID: four gifs showing Doom sitting on a couch, reading a book with the lights on, and Dong-kyung trying to sleep on the couch on her side of the house. Doom appears from the shoulders up, and she appears in a close up shot with her eyes closed. Staring at his book, Doom cheekily says "I have no heart since I'm not human". Almost asleep, Dong-kyung mumbles, "Don't lie. You said you felt the same thing I did… at the same time". Expressionless but clearly taken aback, Doom looks up from his book, stares ahead for a moment, then turns his head fully to stare at her. /end ID.

Round one: 사람, saram vs Aufhebung
(poll at the end)
사람, saram (Korean)
[ˈsʰa̠ɾa̠m]
Translation: Person
Korean is spoken by 50 million people in South Korea and 25,4 million people in North Korea. It is almost an isolate, a language unrelated to other languages, except that there’s another Koreanic language spoken on Jeju island whose speakers are switching to Korean. The Korean script, Hangul, is pretty interesting: It’s the only big writing system which is featural, which means that the way characters look are based on how the sounds they represent are produced in the mouth, so that similar sounds look similar.
Motivation: It’s one character off from 사랑 which means love and I think that’s neat. People are about love!!
Aufhebung (German)
[ˈaʊ̯fˌheːbʊŋ]
Translation: There is no English equivalent; it can be translated as "to sublate", "to abolish", "to transcend", or "to supercede" (also "to pick up", "to raise", "to keep", "to preserve", "to end", "to annul", or "to pocket").
German is an Indo-European language belonging to the Germanic branch and spoken in Germany by 80 600 000 people and 133 250 000 people worldwide. Or is it? That is true for Standard German, which is part of the Continental West Germanic dialect continuum stretching from the Netherlands to Austria, and including High, Middle and Low German dialects as well as Dutch. Standard German is a High German variety (High German refers to dialects and languages in southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria). Parts of the continuum aren’t mutually intelligible, but sinch Standard German has been the writing norm for centuries and used in education, media and administration, people can understand each other anyway since some regional differences have mellowed in the last generations, although some Low German dialects in the north are closer to Dutch than High German dialects in southern Germany.
Motivation: It's a unique German word that's important for Marxist and Hegelian philosophy, conveying the idea of the death of something while still maintaining the old within the new; to simultaneously abolish while preserving.

Koryo Saram - Korean Diaspora of the Soviet Union
In the late 1800s thousands of people mostly from Northern Korea went to East Russia to escape famine. Decades later another mass migration from Korea to Russia happened as people fled from Japanese invaders and were attracted by the Bolshevik's promise of free land for peasants. The Korean community thrived in the Soviet Union during the earlier years with many becoming high ranking Communist Party officials, but by 1937 even the family of these high ranking officials would be rounded up and shipped off in cattle trains to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan during Stalin's ethnic deportations. Some people did not survive the harsh conditions of this trip and their corpses would be left unburied at the train stops. Despite all of what they endured in the past, today majority of the Koryo Saram still live in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan where they've kept their traditional Korean customs mixed with the cultures of Central Asians, Russians and other ex-Soviet nationalities.
