And it's on October 31st

That reminds me of Halloween

Nooo

You might think so

But it's very significant for Mexicans

The Day of the Dead and Halloween are so much different

(MIZY STUDIO) (EP.05 Exploring Mexican cultures) (Feat. Diana)

Hello

This is MIZY STUDIO

that introduces different countries' beauty trends and cultures

I'm Sohyun with cool undertone skin who loves K-beauty

The studio looks pretty scary today

Halloween's coming

I guess the guest is from the United States

Am I right?

Wrong!

Today's guest is from Mexico

I really liked the movie 'Coco'

I can talk about 'Coco' today

It's gonna be so fun today

Let's bring our guest then

Come join me!

Yay

Hello

Hehe

"Hola" is the only thing I understood

Would you like to introduce yourself in Korean again?

Hello, I'm Diana from Mexico

It's been three years since I came to Korea

And I work at a travel agency

Did you just say hi in Spanish?

Right

I'd like to learn a few words

Can you teach me some?

Hola~ ¿Cómo están?

Let's try it together

Hola~ ¿Cómo están?

I know "Hola" means hello

What does "¿Cómo están" mean?

It means "bye"

or "how are you"

Oh, hi, how are you

Right

What I just learned must be a Spanish greeting then

That's right and wrong at the same time

Mexican Spanish and Spanish in Spain are pretty different

The vocabularies and pronunciations are different

There are some words only used in Mexico

What are some words?

In Mexican Spanish,

"Qué lindo" and "Qué bonito" mean 'cute'

But in Spanish in Spain,

we just say "Qué mono"

Some words are different

When you hear someone talking,

you might find out

where the person came from then

Right

I can find out someone's from Spain

by one's pronunciation

In Korea, we can predict

where the person's from by one's talking

I think you can also figure out

if one's from Spain or Mexico

You're right

I already feel like

it's gonna be fun today

I heard Diana brought many interesting stories today

There's my favorite holiday in Mexico

And I would like to introduce it to you today

I can't wait!

Shall we start?

Great

Have you watched the movie 'Coco'?

I have

It was a touching movie

Is it a holiday related to 'Coco'?

Right

Day of the Dead in Mexico,

as you can see in 'Coco',

it's an important day for Mexicans

It's Día de Muertos in Spanish

Can you repeat it again?

Día de Muertos?

Muertos

What does it mean?

Día means day

And Muertos means the dead

So it's the Day of the Dead

Oh

It sounds like a scary day

No

It might sound scary

But it's not scary for Mexicans

It's a happy day

So briefly,

with grandmas and grandpas, people miss but passed away,

you can spend time together,

have a good meal,

and recall some good memories

That's the day for

So the family comes together

and bring back memories of the ancestors having a good meal

I think it's similar to ancestral rites in Korea

Right

They are quite similar

Interesting

There are fixed dates for the rites in Korea

I think there's also a fixed date for the Day of the Dead

When is it?

It depends on the regions

It's from October 31st to November second

It's not a single day

It's a three-day holiday

There is a meaning to each day

Do you commemorate different people each day?

You're right!

We commemorate the dead at a young age on October 31st

On November 1st,

we commemorate the dead who suddenly passed away

due to accidents like car accidents

November second is the most important day

It's for all the dead

I guess the last day is the biggest one

Right

There's an interesting story

These days,

we celebrate one more day

It's from October 31st,

but people also celebrate on October 30th, right?

Right

Can you guess what's the day for?

That's a tough question

Do you want a hint?

I have two

Two

(That's too easy now) Yes

This is too easy

Animals

Right

We commemorate pets on October 30th

These days, people also commemorate pets

on October 30th

That's a new trend in Mexico

A new Day of the Dead trend

Let's say it's a MZ generation trend

Good

On the table,

I see bread, candles, and flowers

It's well-decorated here

Can you explain what these are?

Yes

This is Ofrenda in Spanish

Ofrenda has food and other things

for the dead

It's like the ancestral rites table in Korea

They are similar

It's beautiful

Do they have meanings?

I'll tell you briefly

Water is very important

The dead might be so tired and thirsty

when they arrive at the Ofrenda

They need to drink water right away

And the bread

They must be so hungry, so they need to eat the bread

And there should be candles

They are to guide the dead to find the Ofrenda

Do you know what's most important here?

You can find out if you watched 'Coco' well

The flowers take up the most space on the table

That's correct

You're smart

They are called Merigold

Cempasúchil in Mexican

Cem...

Cempasúchil

The flowers are the most important

With the flowers,

we make the road to the Ofrenda

Following the road,

the dead can find the Ofrenda easily

That's a romantic and touching story

Are there fixed positions for each thing?

Not really

We just need the flowers

The pictures are also important

You can see whose Ofrenda it is

by the pictures

When I watched 'Coco',

I saw people getting paintings on their faces

Are the paintings also for celebrating?

Right

Skull paintings like in 'Coco' are so popular

It looks like this

On the Day of the Dead,

people all have these skull face paintings

Do the paintings have meanings?

On the Day of the Dead,

the dead come to our world

And we spend a great time together with them

So if we have a similar look,

we might spend a better time with them

Also, we are so thankful

to the God of Death

So we ask the god take good care of the dead

We dress up in a similar look

like the God of Death

I think the day is for

people to enjoy together

not separating the dead from people

I heard you get face paintings

And it's on October 31st

That reminds me of Halloween

Nooo

You might think so

But this is very significant for Mexicans

The Day of the Dead and Halloween are so much different

Can you tell me how they are different?

They are similar in the way

that we call the dead to our world

But the reasons why the dead comes are different

The ghosts come to trick people

on Halloween

So people dress up like the ghosts

to be scary

But on the Day of the Dead,

beloved dead come to join

and spend a great time together with the family

That's why they are different

On Halloween,

ghosts come to trick people

So people dress up like ghosts

to pretend like ghosts

But on the Day of the Dead,

people all enjoy together

When you think of 'Coco',

it's not a serious day, but people are all happy

I thought the Day of the Dead might be similar to Halloween

But I see they have very different meanings

Right

With Diana today,

I talked about the Day of the Dead in Mexico today

It was so interesting today

Actually, I didn't know well about Mexico other than the food like tacos and burritos

It was a great time today

to learn more about Mexico

How was it today, Diana?

I like the Day of the Dead so much

So it was great to talk about the day today

Do you want to say something to the viewers

waiting for October 31st?

The Day of the Dead is coming

Enjoy the day!

Let's try it together

Feliz Día de Meurtos!

'Feliz' means a great time

'Día de Muertos' means 'to spend'

Feliz Día de Meurtos?

Oh

Am I right?

Great job

Did you enjoy learning Mexican cultures with MIZY STUDIO?

With Diana today,

I talked about Mexico's Day of the Dead

Next time, I'll get face paintings

that people get on the Day of the Dead

Please look forward to the next video if you want to see it!
