If you own a Korean-made washing machine, you may have noticed that it plays a little tune when the cycle is finished. This is a common feature on many Korean appliances, and it’s there for a very practical reason: to let you know that the cycle is done so you can go and take your clothes out.
Of course, you could just set a timer to alert you when the cycle is finished, but the tune is a nice touch that makes the whole experience a little more pleasant. And who doesn’t like a little bit of pleasantness in their life?
So there you have it: the next time your Korean washing machine starts playing its little tune, you’ll know it’s just trying to be helpful.
