Cushion Words: How to Say No the Korean Way
Saying “no” doesn’t have to damage relationships. In this episode of The Jung Studio’s Korean Podcast, we explore 쿠션어 — Korean “cushion words” that soften refusals and keep conversations respectful.
You’ll learn how to politely decline invitations, handle work or social requests, and express yourself honestly without sounding cold. We’ll discuss how tone and phrasing influence how others perceive your intentions, and why “cushion words” reflect emotional intelligence in Korean communication.
Ideal for intermediate Korean learners aiming to speak more naturally, this episode blends linguistic skills with cultural insight — because communication is more than just grammar.
