Korea has been divided since 1948 between two different sovereign states, North Korea and South Korea. Korea borders Russia to the northeast, China to the northwest, and neighboring Japan to the east through the Korean Strait and the Sea of Japan (East Sea), and now let's talk about South Korea. I have made 5 different sections about South Korea that contain street food, Seasons, Icon Places, Conventional Clothing, and Famous Brands. Happy reading everyone.

1. Street Food



The tradition of Korean street food stalls has been around for more than six hundred years, where traders will sell their food in the neighborhood market. These ancient traders formed their own base of economic activity, which greatly helped those in the lower classes. Usually run by older women or men, these popular stalls have become part of the Korean Famous Food Culture, namely Tteobokki, Hotteok, Wallnut Cakes, Kimbap, Bundaeggi, Kimchi Fried Rice, and many more, but Korean food is the most popular is Tteobokki, who doesn't know Tteokbokki? okay let me explain it to you. so, tteokbokki is Korean confectionary in the form of tteok made from rice flour cooked in a spicy and sweet gochujang spice.

2. Seasons



Korea has four different seasons namely spring (March-May), summer (June-August), autumn (September-November), and winter (December-February). Changing seasons also means changing clothes. With temperatures varying according to the season, it is important to dress for the weather. The best time to visit Seoul is from March to May and from September to November, when average daily high temperatures remain below the mid-70s and travel costs are low. Somewhere between extreme summer and winter, spring and autumn are the two best seasons to visit Korea. In both cases, you will be welcomed by warm to warm temperatures and relatively dry conditions, especially when compared to hot & wet seasons.

4. Conventional clothes

The word hanbok itself actually means "Korean clothing". It consists of two main parts. On the upper body, men and women wear jackets called jeogori. For the bottom, women wear long, fluffy skirts called chima, while men slip into broad wide pants called wedges. Hanbok is known to be very comfortable, his loose silhouette provides ease of movement, influenced by the nomadic tendencies of the Koreans at that time. The origins of hanbok can be traced back to the Goguryeo Dynasty, one of the Three Ancient Kingdoms of Korea. Although the basic design of hanbok is barely changed, slight changes have been made here and there depending on the impact of different cultures. For example, due to the influence of Mongolian fashion during the reign of the Mongol Empire in the 13th century, jeogori for women was cut shorter above the waist. During the Joseon Dynasty, differences in social class were evident in the hanbok style. While commoners were very limited in using only cotton and white for their clothing, nobles were smothered in silk and bright colors of the rainbow. It was worn every day until 100 years ago, originally designed to facilitate ease of movement. But now, it is only used on special occasions or celebrations.
