Today February 9th starts PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
This Olympic game is the biggest Winter Olympics in history, participated by 2920 athletes from 92 countries.
White tiger "Soohorang" and black bear "Bandabi" are the auspicious symbols in this game. Soohorang appears in Korean mythology, believed to be a protective creature.
Technology is also something worth focusing in this event. 7 auto-cars are used, to run from Seoul to PyeongChang. Also, 5G mobile network technology is introduced. South Korea is indeed a country of high tech and futuristic AI (Artificial Intelligence), and I consider this type of technology will be a global trend in near future.
The purpose of this blog is to think of ways toward peaceful and harmonious unification of Korean Peninsula, including the roles and positions of the USA and South Korea.
Even though South and North Korea share the same root and use the common language, differences in cultures including daily expressions, tastes of outfits, music and movies have been getting bigger and bigger since Korea's division in 1948.
