South Korea and Teenagers

A South Korean teenager may often view two different figures of the country whenever news about their weather comes up. The first one simply shows the map of South Korea, while the second presents the entire peninsula engulfing North and South Korea. About 60 years ago, both countries had been at war with each other. But with the second map representing both countries being shown like this, reconciliation maybe conceivable. Tension may sometimes exist, but this is certainly an optimistic period, especially for the teenagers of South Korea today.

Regardless, with the coming of internationalism and the new generation, as well as the internet, it's been easier for South Korean teenagers to express their warmth to Japan, China, and other distant lands while taking pride of their Mongolian and Manchurian descendants.

The life of teenagers in South Korea today may differ from their counterpart in the past, but one thing is similarly important, and that is schooling. School is a South Korean teenager's focal point in his life. It is in their law to require children to finish studying up to the secondary level of education.

Principally, parents push their children to work hard for their entrance exam to be able to attend the best universities in town. This is because their future job and financial status will greatly be dependent on what school they've graduated, much like in any other country.

With the intensity of learning they're brought into, rarely would they be allowed to work in part-time jobs. There are even some parents who spend $500 or more just to make their children study the English language when they reach five as an early preparation to primary and secondary education.

However, despite the amount of work they need to do in school, South Korean teenagers still find some ways to have fun. Some schools sponsor up to 20 different clubs, including radio broadcasting, drama, newspapers, cartoon animation, and filming.

Off campus, gaming is a big part of the South Korean culture. Online gaming, in particular, has brought a lot of teenagers together, where big gaming events are held occasionally to gather not only South Koreans, but also other competing gamers from Asia and other continents.

The most popular game in South Korea maybe Starcraft, which may also be their most widespread televised game, being broadcasted on Ongamenet, MBCGame, and other TV stations.

The teenagers of Korea are also very fond of watching animated cartoons, as well as reading manga, which is a term described as 'South Korean comics' by many.

Although these make up most of what South Korean teenagers do for fun, music maybe considered their greatest form of entertainment, aside from sports. More likely than not, you'd see teens of this country listening to music when they're not studying.
