More about South Korea
- ACEINLAND: Modern history of South Korea from World War I to today, covering all major events on politics, economy, society, and technology.
Culture
In Korea, pottery was already produced in the Neolithic stone (6000–2000 BC). Korean culture has always received impulses from China. The Kingdom of Koguryŏ (37 BC – 668 AD) is known as the cradle of Korean culture. It left thousands of barrows where nobles were buried. There, as in other old Korean empires, gold jewelry, lacquer bowls and lacquer boxes were made.
Bronze and iron casting has been known in Korea since pre-Christian times. Bells that were struck from the outside and sculptures are typical of the art of Buddhism in Korea. It flourished especially during the Koryŏ dynasty (918-1392) and left behind temples such as Pusŏksa, Seokguram and Haeinsa. In 1248, more than 81,000 wood printing plates with Chinese characters were completed in Haeinsa: The so-called Tripitaka Koreana is the oldest and largest collection of Buddhist textbooks.

Large palaces and gardens such as those in the capital, Seoul, date from the Choson Empire (1392–1910).
King Sejong (1418–50) had a script developed with the name Hangŭl. This made it possible to represent the Korean language better. Today, Hangŭl consists of 24 letters, which are written in blocks of syllables with up to 40 phonetic characters. However, the Korean script did not prevail over the Chinese script until the 19th century. Korean-language literature emerged from the 17th century. Adventure stories and short poems made up of three lines of verse, called Sijo, were popular.
The rapid modernization of South Korea from the 1960s onwards made Seoul in particular an international economic and cultural metropolis. From 2003, Songdo, a so-called Smart City, was built in the area of the nearby port city of Incheon. With the help of digital networking, it should allow a sustainable and climate-friendly life and effective work.
South Korea has a dynamic and diverse cultural scene. As a »Korean wave« (Hallyu) it has developed into a lifestyle and is also spreading to other countries. Above all, this includes K-Pop. His boy and girl groups and rap stars are popular in many countries in East and Southeast Asia.
The Korean film has been winning international awards since the late 1990s. In 2020, “Parasite” was the first Korean-language film to receive an Oscar ® for best film. As with the globally successful K-pop song and video »Gangnam Style« (2012) by the rapper Psy, the life of the new rich is caricatured in it. TV and Internet series (»K-Drama«) are also part of the Korean wave. The South Korean form of the manga, called »Manhwa«, has set a new trend as »Webtoon«.
Popular sports are soccer and baseball. The traditional »Ssireum« wrestling match is similar to Japanese sumo. After the Second World War, the martial arts Taekwondo emerged. South Korea is a stronghold of eSports.
