4/1 Talk about how Koreans use personal stamps.

Personal stamps are used to seal the deal on official documents.
* seal the deal: 날인하다, 계약을 체결하다.
ex> I need to think about this decision before we seal the deal.

They are also used when opening a bank account or when buying property.
* open a bank account:
* buy property: 부동산을 매입하다.
ex> He was opening a bank account to be used for his business.

These tiny personal stamps hold a lot of power.
ex> In my family, my mom is the one that holds a lot of power.

You should always keep tabs on your stamp because it's as good as your signature.
* keep tabs on: take care of
ex> Keep tabs on all your personal information to prevent identity theft.

You can have your name carved in Chinese or Korean characters on a stamp.
* have one's name carved: engrave one's name
ex> I had my girlfriend's name carved on a bracelet for her birthday.

Some large stationery stores also have a dojang corner.
* stationery store: 문구점
