Is this a Spanish children song or what is it all about? (song in "Grasa" YT series)
I am a beginner learner of Spanish. Recently I've found a Spanish series on YT called "Grasa". I don't understand much from what they say, I only catch some words here and there, but I can still follow the story more or less with the visuals.
There is one recurring motive in this series - the song they sing to calm someone down. Every character in the movie seems to know it so I assume that it must be either a very famous song in Spain or some sort of children song maybe? Or is it just a made-up song for the series? Since my Spanish is still rather poor I can't really find it by putting lyrics into google. Can someone help? What is this song and how come every person in this series seems to know it?
Here is the timestamp of the video where they sing it for the first time:
@21:50

여행 계획
요즘 모두 사람들이 여행을 너무 좋아해요. 유명한 관광 나라에서 (famous tourist countries/spots) 사람이 너무 많아요. 그래서 저는 여름에 여행 안가요. 다른 이유가 비행기표 여름때 너무 비싸요.
제일 좋아하는 여행 목적지 (travel destination) 대만이예요. 대만에 대해서 다 좋아해요. 날씨가도 좋고 사람들이 친절해요 그리고 음식 도 맛있어요.
대만 날씨가는 폴란드 날씨가보다 완전히 달라요. 대만 날씨가 더워과 습해지만, 그러게 더 좋아해요.
그 나라가 언어 모를지만, 배우고하려고 해요.
아시아 여행 가려면 여권이 필요해요.

What is the difference between those two? ("part-time" and "abroad" in 한국어)
What are the differences/nuances of those words? According to dictionaries, they have the same meaning.
"시간제로" vs. "파트타임으로"
I want to say "part time" but not like a student job, but a normal job only shorter hours, if that makes sense...
and
"외국에서 vs. 해외에서"

Korean bookstores - date stamps on the books?
Hi, I have a question about Korean bookstores.
I bought some books while in Korea. The cahier lady put a date stamp on the edge of the pages on my books - red date stamp, of the date I bought the books on. What are those stamps for? I tried to find an answer to this question on google, but I only found an explanation about publishers putting these markings on books so they know which books were already in circulation and which are brand new. But this stamp was put by the cashier when I was buying the books, so this explanation doesn't apply here. Does anyone know what they are for? Maybe this isn't even a Korean thing and maybe it is a common practice in other countries too (?), but it is the first time I saw sth like this.

My career (제 경력)
저는 독일 대기업에서 인사부 일했어요. 공부했서 시간제로 일했어요. 거래처과 제 업무가 괜잖았어요, 근대 동료들과 제 과장님 진짜 실했어요. 사실 급여가도 쫌 낮았어요. 부장님들이만 출장을 갔어요, 그리고 정상적인 (normal/regular) 동료들 사무실에서만 일했어요. 그 일을 그만두게 댔어요.
저는 지금 직장 안 다녀요. 세러은 이력서과 자기소 게서도 써요. 해외에서 (abroad) 일하고 싶어요. 영어 지격증을 필요해서 영어 시험을 봤어요. 그 영어 시험이 너무 비싸요. 떨어졌어요 두려워 (I'm afraid I didn't pass the exam).

Difference between -게 됐어요 vs. -게 되었어요
I have recently learned the -게 되다 structure, but depending on the source, they either teach forms for all three tenses ( -게 돼요, -게 됐어요, -게 될 거예요) or use -게 되었어요 in every possible sentence without changing the tense. What is the difference between those two? What is the more natural way to use it?

meaning of 백수 (?)
I've recently came across this sentence: "나 백수야, 돈없어"; the word 백수 was translated as "jobless/unemployed". However, when I've tried to search for word 백수 in the dictionaries, they showed completely different meaning. What does 백수 mean and is there any other word for "unemployed person" in Korean?
