Korean words, 미라클 모닝

One example of living a [gat-ssaeng] life is the [mi-ra-keul mo-ning] habit.


미라클 모닝[mi-ra-keul mo-ning] comes from the book Miracle Morning by American author Hal Elrod.


미라클[mi-ra-keul]: Miracle

모닝[mo-ning]: Morning

 

😂🤣😆 Fun fact

The original book suggests starting your day at 8 a.m., but the Korean edition emphasizes starting at 6 a.m. instead! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Koreans are truly so diligent—it’s just their way of approaching life! 🌞😊

Korean words, 미라클 모닝

There’s even a funny story where some Koreans joked, "So waking up at 8 a.m. is considered a Miracle Morning?" 😂

 

So, in Korea, [mi-ra-keul mo-ning] refers to waking up before 6 a.m. to focus on self-improvement activities like meditation, exercise, studying, or reading. (For many here, a true Korean-style Miracle Morning starts at 4 or 5 a.m.! ⏰)


People who stick to the Miracle Morning routine consistently are often admired as living a [gat-ssaeng] life. 💪✨


✅ 미라클[mi-ra-keul]: Miracle

✅ 모닝[mo-ning]: Morning
