꿩 먹고 알 먹는다 (Kill two birds with one stone)

꿩도 잡고 알도 먹는단 뜻으로 한가지 일로 두가지 이익을 얻음(일석이조)
    — Killing pheasants and eating eggs means getting two benefits with one thing (killing two birds with one stone)

Literal Translation: If you eat a pheasant, you also eat the egg

When to use it: This Korean saying can be used to describe circumstances in which you take one action and gain two benefits at the same time. Consider the scenario when you need to clean the exterior of your home. You find money on the ground while cleaning. From one activity, you gained two advantages (a clean home and money).

Example:

"Mom, I'm going to do volunteer work twice a month starting this month."

At Hyeon-seo's words, Mom was surprised and opened her eyes.

She said, "You say volunteer work? How did you come up with such an admirable thought when you were just trying to play every day?"

Hyunseo was excited to see her mother smiling brightly.

It was the day she finally went to her volunteer work for her first time. Hyun-seo decided to go to the nursing home where her grandmother and grandfather lived and help her clean. Her mother walked her to the front.

"Hello, Hyeonseo."

Hyeon-friend seo's Song-i, who had arrived first, greeted her enthusiastically as soon as she stepped out of the car.

Hey, you said you were volunteering to be with Song, right?

At her mother's comments, Hyunseo grinned and remarked,

She stated: "because my favorite, Songi, enjoys volunteering. She works as a volunteer, so I frequently see Songi. As a result, she enjoys eating pheasants and eggs."

Sosoksok Our saying implies to catch a pheasant and obtain an egg simultaneously.

Culture Story

The resident bird known as the pheasant can be found throughout Asia, including Korea, Japan, and northeast China. Local birds are year-round residents who do not migrate. A huge, vividly colored male in Korea is known as Jangki, and a little, bland female is known as Katturi.

In the past, people liked eating pheasant meat, but it's hard to find these days. Although it is unfortunate that there are no delectable pheasants, there is a saying that says to substitute lesser chickens for them: "Chicken instead of pheasants."

Pheasant meat was used to make jangjorim, po, dumplings, or was grilled. Pheasants can be caught in a variety of methods, but the approach that involved teaching a falcon to hunt was the most common.
