I've heard this term before, but usually in the context of clothing. Tonight I heard it used strangely. Short story shorter, I was telling a taxi driver about how I'd lost my moped key today, and was kind of annoyed by it. He explained to me that there are worse things that could happen, like I lose my entire moped and not just the key, and hey, when we die we lose everything anyway. Added to that, tomorrow is a new year, so all of yesterday's cares are washed away. All this he attributed to Korean Style.

Confused

Maybe that is Korean Style, but considering how often I hear people sounding off with 'AISH!' over the slightest misfortunes, I tend to think it's just his style.


Please share your knowledge of Korean Style~~

You got to say it the right way.

Anything that Koreans do that they are conscious of its' being bizarre behaviour, but cannot rationalize. Korean Style!

Korean style is when they think something is different than the way we do something in other countries, regardless of if it is true or not.

examples:
great table and drink manners
clean cut appearance
delicious food
hard working/hard studying
