Conquer Asia

Living in the Korean peninsula, Korean people are referred to as an East Asian ethnic group. They are said to be descendants of Altaic or proto-Altaic speaking tribes which links them to Mongolians, Tungusics, Turkics and other Central Asians.

They speak the Korean language that uses hangul- their main writing system. There are about 73 million speakers of the said language all over the world. In the country, there are regional differences that exist. In South Korea, the most significant regional difference is between the regions of Gyeongsang and Jeolla.

Regional stereotypes are considered important by the South Koreans. Sample of these stereotypes are that of regional dialects. These have been broken down under the influence of the centralized education, nationwide media and the population movement during the Korean War. However, the North Korea and South Korea share one heritage. The divergence of the culture of the two was just the result of the political division since the year 1944.
