- IT 강대국 (kang-dae-guk: a strong nation) 대한민국 (Dae-han-min-guk: Republic of Korea)
As a local Korean, who has been observing Korean digital tradition from distant, I typically really feel that I could also be overlooked of the middle of fast-changing know-how evolution, significantly in communication know-how. I’m a median one who makes use of know-how in my day by day life with out main points, however I generally really feel it’s overwhelming to attempt to meet up with the velocity of know-how development.
If I used to be dwelling in Korea, my psychological exhaustion in know-how could be extra intense solely as a result of there are lots of technological choices to boost the standard of life. Superior know-how is deeply immersed in fashionable Korean life from 근무 (geun-moo: work), 가사 (gah-sah: housekeeping), 육아 (yook-ah: childcare), 교육 (gyo-yook: training), 의료 (eui-ryo: medical care), 통신 (tong-shin: communication), 교통 (gyo-tong: trandsporation) to 물류 (mool-ryo: logistics) – the listing appears countless!

If we use know-how for the fitting goal, the advantages from it are super. Please take into account, for instance, how technological advances have benefitted Koreans by controlling the unfold of COVID-19.
When COVID-19 had simply damaged out, the Korean authorities instantly created quite a lot of sensible apps that facilitate the Korean residents’ security. As an illustration, if there are any COVID constructive take a look at leads to your neighborhood, you’d get a discover in your telephone. The discover, after all, received’t let you know the non-public info of 확진자 (hwak-jin-ja: the confirmed case).

Communication know-how in Korea has been readily accessible. It facilitates establishing systematic social distancing laws, self-covid testing and different preventative measures nonetheless in use immediately. At the start of the pandemic, when no one appeared to know what to do towards the virus, this type of system positively helped ameliorate public confusion.
The Korean authorities bought praised by many nations as a result of they did a wonderful job stopping the virus from spreading all through the nation and in conserving the case numbers as little as they might underneath the circumstances. The Korean authorities and the native well being departments had been proactively selling the citizen’s participation in the course of the pandemic utilizing know-how apps. This was the proper device for Koreans, who’re already accustomed to using know-how in day by day life.

2. 전세제도 (jeon-sae-jae-doh: lease a home or a room on a deposit foundation)
There are primarily 3 ways to have a house in Korea; 월세 (wol-sae: month-to-month lease), 전세 (jeon-sae: lease a home on a deposit foundation) and 매매 (mae-mae: deal in, purchase and promote).
You should buy or lease a home, that could be a 매매 system. When you select 월세 (wol-sea: month-to-month lease) cost, you should pay a comparatively small quantity of 보증금 (boh-jeung-geum: safety deposit, key cash) with month-to-month lease each month.
With a 전세 system, you’ll be able to lease a home paying an enormous portion of the home worth as 전세 보증금 (jeon-sae-boh-jeung-geum: deposit cash for leasing a home). You may take 전세 보증금 again when the contract ends. When you select 전세 cost system, you don’t must pay month-to-month/yearly lease.
What did you consider the Korean housing cost system? I consider 전세 is a novel idea that Koreans take care of after they lease a home.
