Korean culture is profoundly influenced by Confucian principles and this pervades not only personal lives but also business. Confucianism supports group harmony, respect for elders and authority, the importance of family, friendship, and ancestors, and also, tradition.
Korea's vibrant cultural legacy, comprising music, art, literature, dance, architecture, clothing, and cuisine, offers a delightful combination of tradition and modernity. At the present time, Korean arts and culture are attracting many enthusiasts around the world.
What is the most interesting thing about Korean culture?
Unlike other countries around the world, in Korea, when a baby is born, they are classed as being 1 year old. All birthdays are celebrated on the 1st January each year and every person becomes a year older. This can be confusing when speaking to a native Korean as their true age may be in fact a year younger.
I am all for group harmony, respect for elders, etc.!
