This is my cultural Identity Poster.
I'll introduce 5things about Korean culture.
1. FOOD
Korean people mainly eat rice with soup and side dishes. Even in summer, Korean people eat hot soup.
Traditionally, there are three days that signal the beginning, middle, and end of the hottest time in the year. Korean people eat ginseng chicken soup that give energy to their body in hot summer. Some old people have eaten dog meat soup and they have believed that it is better for their health than other meat.
2. RELIGION
There are lots of devout Christians and churches in South Korea. People can find a church anywhere in South Korea. Christianity started by U.S. and U.K.'s missionaries about 140 years ago. 20 percent of South Korean go to church.
3. MILITARY
All Korean males have had to go to the military since 1951. Military culture has made strong male-centered culture and influenced Korean society to be divided into groups of women and men.
4. MUSIC
There are two popular genres of music in Korea.
One of them is trot that started since 1930s and other genre is dance music that is actually mixed genres, such as K-pop that started from 1990s. Generally, old generation listens to trot and young generation listens to K-pop.
5. NIGHTLIFE
There are lots of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, karaoke, PC rooms, saunas and hostess bars that open 24 hours in Korea.
Many young people hang out all night during weekend.
