Does anyone in this newsgroup read Korean? I just watched the latest
episode of New Girl and was wondering what the billboard in the last
scene actually says. If they explained it, I missed it.

The billboard said: I'm a model.

Thank you. I wish they had made the effort to explain that for the
benefit of the large majority of North American viewers don't read
Korean. (Or did I miss the explanation?)

They didn't explain it, but a search the next morning on the internet
revealed the answer to me. I was hoping for something funny like 'I
used to be a fat kid'.

Just curious: where did you find it? Perhaps there are some websites I
need to know about to answer this kind of question ;-)

That would have been better than "I'm a model". :-)

I don't recall. I just did a search on NEW GIRL KOREAN BILLBOARD and
then clicked on several links all of which said the same thing: 'I'm a
model'.

"I want my '70s back."

"I should be in Israel."

Plenty of better choices than the overly subdued payoff of: 'I'm a Model'.

But those two were in the ep.

I am a Korean

literally, it is that " I am a model"

but more exactly " I am a model tho?" like that

" Ain't i a model?" like that

I find it a bit annoying when writers insert jokes that only a small
subset of the viewers could possibly understand - there can't be that
big a percentage of the New Girl audience that is literate in Korean -
and then they don't explain it to the rest of us, even though we can
sense there is a deliberate message being sent.

So it's an inside thing for those who do know the language.

type it into google translate and you get I'm a model. Which is what he kept saying in the episode.
