South Korea Way of Life

Because of South Korea economic and political ties with Western Nations they began to fall under the influence of western culture. Many Koreans who live in the rural area live in single-houses that are made of bricks or concrete blocks with roofs of cement tiles/slates. South Koreans clothing are like any European, American, Asian developed countries but "hanbok" which is traditional clothing worn on special occasion consists of long, full skirt, tight-fitting jacket on women and loose-fitting trousers,shirts, and jackets for men. Rice is a stable for many Korean dishes and is often served with a popular dish called kimchi that's made of highly spiced mixture of pickled radish and cabbage. Tea is also a traditional beverage and a popular adult drink is soju, makgeolli(rice wine), and western wine.

South Korean find reading novels, dramas,opereas, concerts and motion plays as a source of entertainment.

The covid lock down was temporary because Koreans handled the situation well. But for the street vendors it could've hit hard because there was a shortage since people didn't go out much.
