Korean Culture Notes
Hiking Culture: Hiking (등산 – deung-san) is an extremely popular activity in Korea, enjoyed by people of all ages. Mountains are easily accessible, even near major cities, and many Koreans enjoy packing a lunch (도시락 – do-si-rak) or snacks to eat at the summit or a scenic spot.
Outdoor Activities: Koreans embrace outdoor activities, especially those offering great views or thrills. Paragliding (패러글라이딩 – pae-reo-geul-la-i-ding) has gained popularity in scenic mountainous or coastal areas like Danyang or Jeju Island.
Planning Together: Couples in Korea often enjoy planning trips and activities together. Discussing details like cost, schedule, and preferences, as shown in the scenario, is a common part of preparing for a shared experience.
Expressing Excitement: Showing enthusiasm and anticipation (기대돼요 – gi-dae-dwae-yo) for planned activities is common and considered positive. Sharing slight nervousness (조금 무서워요 – jo-geum mu-seo-wo-yo) is also natural, especially for adventure sports.
Importance of Scenery: Enjoying the scenery (경치 – gyeong-chi) is a significant part of outdoor experiences in Korea. Phrases appreciating the view are frequently used during hikes or trips to nature.
