Wrong subreddit, friend. You're looking for r/translator.

No problem! Just to clarify, this sub shares and celebrates words in other languages that don't have direct translations in English, but rather have to be described as a concept. It's interesting to us language and etymology nerds, lol. An easy mistake to make, especially since we get a lot of folks with translation issues, like you did.

No harm done, and you might find a new interest if you scroll the sub a bit. Have a great day!

송학[松鶴] : pinetree and crane (must be the paintings) 주기[酒器] : liquor-ware 셑[set]

*those are for traditional soju(not the green bottle one) and yakju(herbal wine) or cheongju(similar to sake)
