Literal Meaning
Do not drink your kimchi soup first.
Usage
Used to warn someone not to get ahead of him- or herself in a project or in planning for the future.
Kimchi soup is spicy and is usually eaten with rice to help reduce the sting; therefore, this proverb suggests that a person wait for the rice to arrive before drinking the soup because the person might be in a fix if the rice arrives late or not at all.
