한국의 좌식 문화 Floor-sitting culture in Korea
한국은 바닥에 앉아서 생활하는 좌식 문화가 발달했습니다. 그래서 한국 사람들은 대부 분 집에서 신발을 벗고 생활합니다. 그리고 신발을 벗고 들어가서 식사를 하는 식당도 있 습니다.
Koreans have traditionally conducted their lives on the floor, and sitting on the floor has become a significant part of Korean culture. Hence, Koreans usually don’t wear shoes at home. Moreover, it’s not difficult to seek out restaurants where people need to take off their shoes in order to sit on the floor and eat off low tables.
