So far, soju...

I live an a small part of town where Korea University students go to eat cheap galbi and get wasted on soju. There's a lot of pride in what university you to go, and once wasted, they express this pride by gathering in a big circle on the street in front of my apartment and doing these chants/songs as loud as possible in the wee hours of the night.


The chants are led by a "cheerleader". There are only a few dozen of these people, all male, and these guys are apparently like the equivalent of the quarterback in terms of how cool they are. He stands in the middle of the circle and leads the chant with crazed agonizing screams. It used to keep me up at night.. Now I can tune it out quite easily, though I've near memorized a few of the tunes.
