* go hand in hand with: ~와 함께 가다, ~와 잘 어울리다.
ex> You need to realize that getting a tan goes hand in hand with the increased risk of skin cancer.

Danpat is what Koreans call sweetened red beans.

Some other common toppings are small chunks of rice cake, bits of jelly and milk or ice cream.

Many bingsoo chains allow customers to create their own bingsoo.

There's nothing like sharing a giant bowl of bingsoo with your friends on a hot summer day.
