So this weeks discussion I thought was very intriguing in getting

me t

o think about things from another angle.

The artifact that I

chose to talk about is the song “Magic Shop” by Korean Pop

group, BTS, on their album “Love Yourself”.

Over the past few

years Korean Pop, or what many refer to as “K

-

Pop”, has been

one of the

biggest crazes out there.

The Korean culture is very

artistic and generating many enthusiasts all over the

world.

Their music and even some of their television shows like

Squid Game has created a worldwide phenomenon.

As much as

South Korea has vaulted

into the 21 century they still have a

tight hold on to their past and cultural heritage.

The

Commisceo Global website (n.d.) talks about the importance of

the Korean family and how it is an “integral part of customs and

life in South Korea.”

It is also c

ustom for the eldest son to be

the one to take care of his parents when they cannot take care

of themselves.

When you enter into a Korean home you will

always take your shoes off out of courtesy.

Dining and food is a

way of building relationships, where

pleasure and business

constantly overlap (Hello, n.d.).

Somethings that people may not know is that families got

separated when the Korean peninsula split between north and

south during the Korean War back in 1953.

Unfortunately, these

families will not b

e able to see each other until there is an actual

peace treaty in place.

Currently, both sides have an armistice

agreement that initiated a cease

-

fire, and that has been the case
