🎧 ZamZamPod EP.3: “Study freedom or café nuisance?”  
Have you heard of the term *'카공족 (Ka-gong-jok)'*?  
It refers to people who study in cafés — a unique trend in Korean café culture.

Some café owners are frustrated by customers who stay for hours with just one coffee.  
From “No Study Zones” to dedicated study cafés, let’s talk about this growing phenomenon!
