Packed with articles and photographs, it covers all the touchstones of Korean culture--from Buddhism and Confucianism to chapters on the traditional arts and disciplines like Taekwondo. There are chapters on cultural code words and norms; personal relationships; business and technology; and symbols and practices that are peculiarly Korean. A number of chapters are devoted to Korean pop culture, with attention to the stars, idols, and urban subcultures associated with them. For visitors to Korea, the author includes a mini-guide to his favorite neighborhoods in Seoul and other places of outstanding interest."--Publisher description.
Review Quotes: "A Geek in Korea is basically the ultimate illustrated in beautiful pictures guide to everything about Korea, and when I say EVERYTHING, I truly mean that. It has history, who Koreans are, the science to Kpop (which is my favorite chapter) a look at Korea's internet mania, basically everything a Korean-learner or Korean-anything enthusiast would want to know." -- Korean Notebook blog
