#5 Cultural Post

[Corinna Cho]

After researching on different aspects of the Korean culture, I found that the main factors that affect Korean culture is respect and nationalism. First, in regards to respect, researching on their clothing I found that they have these specific traditional clothing for respect for celebrations and events. This formal wear guarantees that people are dressed appropriately. For nationalism, it is also true even in clothing because even in the modern age people are wearing the hanbok. For instance, there is a designer that revolutionized the hanbok for more everyday look.
