Aspiring to become an old Korean ajumma (아줌마)? Here’s what you need to get going…
A post inspired by these many similar-looking elderly women I pass on the streets daily or have elbow-jabbing me in my ribs to get on the subway here in Korea.

Reblogged this on 스마트 아줌마 Smart Ajumma and commented:
I found this amazing drawing about ajumma by Amy Slatem on her blog. Yes they’re sometimes rude but I think they didn’t mean it. (:
And I really like her drawing but most of drawings or images about ajummas are not very ‘friendly’, I know and I understand.
Really glad to see your reblog. I shared it on OINK. It’s doing very well there haha
Thanks Jackie!! (:
Hello Amy Slatem, My name is Jung Moon and I’m researching about Ajummas in Korea. I shared your drawing in my blog, is that okay? I really like your drawing about ajummas. Thanks. (:
Hi there 🙂 yes, that’s ok thanks!
I LOVE THIS. Are you in OINK? I shared there hahaha
Thanks Jackie!
No, I’m not in OINK?
Oh… the group is called Only in Korea. Your photo has garnered more than a hundred reactions already, people really like it ^^
All of us on OINK really love the photo, but majority of the comments are wondering why it says “Visa” instead of “visor”.
Thanks, I hadn’t updated it on the blog by mistake.
