10 strange things in South Korea

In 2010, the capital of South Korea, the 10-millionth Seoul, received the honorary title of the capital with the best design. This city, whose age is confidently approaching two and a half thousand years, is really very beautiful and attracts crowds of tourists from all over the world every year.

The Koreans themselves are an amazing people who have managed to preserve many unique traditions, despite the onslaught of globalization erasing any national differences. Many of these traditions and features may seem very, very specific to European tourists coming to the country.

1. Toilet humor is very popular in South Korea.

2. Friendly hugs.

3. Plastic surgery is literally sweeping South Korea.

One of the most common operations in South Korea is eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). Both girls and boys, almost without hesitation, risk their health and go under the surgeon's knife only to acquire a "European" eye incision.

4. Motels for love pleasures.

5. K-Pop Music

Groups working in this musical genre usually consist of several boys and girls aged 16 to 24 years. K-Pop music compositions combine the features of rhythm and blues, hip-hop and electropop, and the lyrics often sound not in Korean, but in English. There are so many fans of this music that it is already considered a full-fledged international youth subculture.

6. Ajumma.

7. Alcohol abuse.

8. Identical outfits are a Korean youth trend.

9. Incredible speed of food delivery from restaurants.

10. Ultrashort skirts.
