Expansion Request

For example, Traditional korean food hardly mentions kimchi, although it was the staple diet during winter months for hundreds of years. Someone with first-hand or good academic knowledge of Korea should expand on as many of the subsections as possible, particularly those impacting the life of traditional Koreans.

Latest additions

Please read this carefully first. Added small corrections, replaced "residences" with the more specific "houses" as palaces, military barracks, fortresses all in which people lived are not included. Added references to other wiki articles on: Korean ceramics, pottery, gardens, the Korean Tea Ceremony etc. And will add a reference to "post-modern Korean culture" which will take in developments after 1990 in upcoming days. Will add also references to Korean flower arrangements, and Korean opera as well.

aphy of list of famous Koreans. And cultural accomplishments. Article generally sound, although getting large; and rebuilt post-1945 Korean tea house mistakenly identified in photo as "residence"; will replace this with a more accurate photo; also request debate on spinning off Culture of Korea post 1990 to "Post-modern Korean Culture" with refs to wargaming, cellphones, new wave post-Shiri Korean films, the rise of President Roh, new emphasis on Korean history evolving in educational curricula, etc.

Also will correct South Korea and North Korea at some point in this article to at least initially using the official names: Republic of Korea and Democratic People's Republic of Korea as a matter of procedure to establish accuracy from the start. There is no "South Korea" or "North Korea" properly, although the slang forms have much use in the United States, for some reason.

I've re-added Most people do not take pleasure in listening to this kind of music. because this is a statement. I don't think this statement is against NPOV policy. Kokiri 16:57, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)

This article only seems to talk about traditional Korean culture. Surely something interesting cxould be written about modern Korean culture. After all, South Korea is widely considered the most 'wired' society on Earth, and certainly the society in North Korea has a rather unusual structure.--Pharos 21:26, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

There are articles about the Contemporary South Korean and North Korean cultures here on Wikipedia. --Ce garcon 08:36, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Rename this page?

Shouldn`t this page be renamed "Traditional Culture of Korea" given that it does not describe Contemporary Korean Culture? --Ce garcon 08:37, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • I agree--Pharos 01:26, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

any other thoughts on moving this page to Traditional culture of Korea? Appleby 00:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What no movies?

Im surprised here

To find details on Korean movies, look to contemporary culture of South Korea and contemporary culture of North Korea as the header to this article states, this article is about the traditional culture of Korea. Cinema of Korea also is pretty good for Korean movies. --Zonath 05:48, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
