I lived in Korea for 5 years, and yeah, if I ever had enough money, I would buy some land here where I live in France and have a hanok built (with more modern amenities though, like double panned windows), I freak'n love hanoks, I've stayed in a few of them while I lived in Korea and always loved the experience

Koreans have played life-or-death identity game against the continent for about 2000 years. Language, alphabet, food, clothing, building, ...full. set. The problem is that here we are suffering population collapse. Politics is deeply divisive. And many people do not realize South Korea has become a major member of the West.

South Korea has most of what the world aspires to have. With a world-class manufacturing supply chain, such as semiconductors, batteries, biopharmaceutical production, shipbuilding, and defense technology, the future is very bright. South Korea is also a leader in cultural industries such as K-pop and K-dramas. The growing influence of Korean-speaking culture is driving the popularity of the Korean language and the Korean-related job market.
There's a long historical background why Korea, with its thousands of years of history, seems to have popped up out of nowhere in the 21st century. Firstly, from ancient times until the Middle Ages, trade and exchange between the West and the East required the use of the Silk Road, which was monopolised by China and China blocked access to Korea. The English name Korea is derived from the Islamic transliteration of the country's name at the time, Goryeo, which was used by Muslim merchants trading by sea with the Korean peninsula around the 12th century. This meant that the West had no access to Korea except by rough sea, except via the Silk Road, which was monopolised by China. Secondly, in 1543 a Portuguese merchant ship bound for China ran aground in Japan, marking the first direct contact between the West and Japan. This gave the Japanese access to muskets, and the introduction of this new weapon technology eventually led to the Imjin War, an invasion of Korea by Japan. It was also around this time that the Lead-silver separation method leaked from the Korean peninsula to Japan, which Japan used this method to become the third largest producer of silver in the world. Its vast silver production allowed Japan to greatly increase its power by trading with the West, which was eager for trade during the Age of Sail. Of course, even during this era, China and Japan blocked direct Western access to the Korean Peninsula. If the 20th century was a period of recovery for South Korea from the devastation of Japanese occupation and the ashes of the Korean War. It wasn't until the 21st century internet age, when people could easily access news and culture from other countries without having to travel by land or sea, that Korea was finally started to step out of the shadows of China and Japan and able to show the world the cultural soil it had been building for thousands of years. So that's why you feel like all the K-things is suddenly coming out these days. Finally, Every time you explore in Korean culture, you will see endless denigration of Korean culture by Chinese and Japanese nationalists who want to push Korea back into the shadows.
Just a modern history you can say it's influenced by western and Japanese but in really old past days like B.C. Korea and China are the only countries to rule everything everywhere and Japan at the time arr really governed by Korea and pots housing clothes everything shipped from Korean peninsula. The scene in your eyes are not built in only a few hundreds years but it's the result from 14000 years of Korean history.
How wonderful it is to blend tradition, with modern, and nature. American architects and builders such as Frank Lloyd wright, and Joseph Eichler had a similar vision.

Honestly, I am living in Seoul, the last architact really amazed me, that is in my opinion what is truly the Korean heritage, the first two just sounds somehow less impressive, since you can find similar elements with better design in Japan and China.
@business, this is really not understanding the industry AT ALL. Unfortunately, architecture and spatial design is very slow.

Wait, what ??? As far as i know. Chinese architecture is most decorative amd ornamentalist followed by korean(most colorfull also), while japanese has most simplistic and minimalist, sleak architecture . Whole japanese philosophy runs behind these things.
@@iamsheep modern Chinese unfortunately has went more into western Influence tbh. And abondoned some traditional thinking. Maybe Taiwan still has that but they are also heavy influenced by Japan.
@@D__Ujjwal the ancient buildings of Japan and Korea were all influenced by China. The imperial palaces of Kyoto and Nara were replicas of those in Changan (modern day Xi’an). The reason you think Chinese buildings are more decorative is because those are from the later Qing dynasty, whereas Korea and Japan are mostly influenced by China’s Ming, Song and Tang Dynasties
Those three East Asian countries are geographically close each other and it should be normal that they use the similar materials to build the houses. But as this documentary explained, Korean architecture has its uniqueness as like Japanese or Chinese architecture does. They put more respect to the mother nature while building houses or palaces. Ancient Korean people tried not to manipulate or change the nature that much due to the human’s needs, instead, tried to keep the original landscape and view in and outside of the house, which I really like this aspect. Also I think, it also meets to the current trends such as environment friendly, sustainable lifestyle.
Hàn Quốc và Singapore là 2 cái bẫy du lịch ở châu Á, họ quảng cáo rất nhiều trên các phương tiện thông tin nhưng khi đến nơi thì thấy thật là phí tiền khi đi du lịch ở 2 quốc gia đắt đỏ này.
