Korean Culture Notes
Weekend Getaways: Short weekend trips (주말 여행 – ju-mal yeo-haeng) are popular in Korea, especially for couples. Coastal cities like Busan, Sokcho, and Yeosu are common destinations for enjoying the sea.
Couple Activities: Planning activities together is a significant part of dating culture. Suggesting unique experiences like a boat trip shows thoughtfulness. Matching outfits (커플룩 – keo-peul-luk) are also common for couples on trips.
Dining by the Sea: Restaurants with ocean views (오션뷰 – o-syeon-byu) are highly sought after, especially for seafood (해산물 – hae-san-mul) or grilled shellfish (조개구이 – jo-gae-gu-i). Enjoying the atmosphere (분위기 – bun-wi-gi) is as important as the food.
Importance of Planning: Koreans often prefer to have plans set in advance, especially for travel. Making reservations for transport, accommodation, and sometimes even popular restaurants is common practice.
