"No pasa nada" is a Spanish phrase meaning "It is OK" or "Calm down." It is an epitome of Mexican spirit, according to Christian Burgos, a Mexican TV personality in Korea.

"We use it all the time," Burgos said. "I think it represents our positivity even under tough situations." Likewise, he and his friend Martinez Rojas Luz Maria, the head of the Mexico Tourism Office in Korea, have been presenting a new view on Mexico for Koreans, dispelling Koreans' prejudices against the country and its people.

The Korea Times recently spoke with the pair at a Mexican restaurant at Gwanghwamun in both English and Korean!
