The 'only Koreans can do this' utensil skill

Found this on Ruliweb's humor board.

A spoon loaded with rice and chopsticks at the same time, over a bowl of jjigae. The caption calls it a skill only Koreans have. The poster just said "uh... I end up holding them like that sometimes too." In the comments one person said they use them separately because they hate holding several things in one hand, and another said you learn it naturally when there's nowhere to put them down. Can you do it? ๐Ÿ˜‚

vocab: ์ˆŸ๊ฐ€๋ฝ (sutgarak) spoon, ์ “๊ฐ€๋ฝ (jeotgarak) chopsticks, and the pair together is ์ˆ˜์ € (sujeo). One word for the combo, so the skill was inevitable

nowhere to put them down, makes sense

Tried this once and dropped both into the soup. The soup won

I tried it at dinner and now my wife calls me the utensil juggler. Not sure it's a compliment

Korean here. It's not a skill, it's survival. Small table, six side dishes, nowhere to put anything down

We barely use spoons with rice in Japan, so this looks like a circus act to me

'Only Koreans' is a stretch. Plenty of us hold everything at once out of pure laziness

lazy people of the world unite?

We do chopsticks and spoon together for pho in Vietnam too, but in different hands
