Are people in your culture demonstrative of their affection for others in public? That is, do they kiss, hold hands, or hug in public?


Title: Korean have been changing.

“Humility is a virtue.”, Korean proverb says. In fact, this adage works in Korea. Most Korean are not boastful of their a strong point even though they think that those are their talents. Especially adults do not show their private selves. This inclination affects emotional expressions. For this reason, lots of Korean represent their sorrows or joys only to intimate people such as families or friends. In my case, sad feelings or affairs are not generally represented. This is because I think that bad feelings, thoughts or atmospheres affects the other man negatively. So I usually tell good things to my companions but as for bad ones, I do not tell or express.

The things, however, have been changed. Originally, Korean do not express their emotions easily. As time goes by, it comes to be easy to show their feelings, thoughts or themselves. In particular, youngsters do represent themselves positively. This is because people regard appealing themselves important in societies. They also express their feelings well. This disposition is conspicuous among the young and females. So you can see easily people hold hands or hug in public these days but it might be hard to see Korean kiss as Korean recognize kiss means loving each other.
