Children Stick Close to Their Parents
We’ve said it a few times before but we’ll remind you again — Korea is a conservative culture, meaning that men are expected to work while women are generally thought to be more responsible for taking care of the children.
One blogger who moved from the states to Korea wrote about how surprised she was that she was expected to keep her child close at all times. According to her, “Before, my daughter used to go to the mountains alone and now I have to go with her everywhere.”
