     얼짱 (Eoljjang) or Ulzzang literally means “best face”.

     기분 (Gi-boon) or Kibun is an important factor to consider in Korean culture when it comes to relationship. Kibun has no exact English translation. But it is mostly related to terms like pride, face, mood, mind, or feelings.      Kibun is one of the core values related to harmonious relationships. Hurting one’s kibun is similar to hurting one’s pride and losing dignity. Damaging kibun gives negative impact to one’s mental and physical health. And one way to avoid hurting one’s kibun is telling a ‘white lie.’ Also, one must have a good 눈치 (Noon-chi) to asses kibun.

         The flag of South Korea, or Taegeukgi (also spelled Taegukgi in convention) has three parts: a white background; a red and blue taegeuk in the center; and four black trigrams, one in each corner of the flag. These trigrams are carried over from the eight trigrams (Pal Gwae), which are of Chinese origin.           The general design of the flag also derives from traditional use of the tricolour symbol (red, blue and yellow) by Koreans starting from the early era of Korean history. The white background symbolizes “cleanliness of the people”. The Taegeuk represents the origin of all things in the universe; holding the two principles of yin and yang in perfect balance; the former being the negative aspect rendered in blue, and the latter as the positive aspect rendered in red. Together, they represent a continuous movement within infinity, the two merging as one.
