After visiting South Korea, some people feel like they've just come back from another planet. You won’t believe how many crazy mind-blowing things you can find there. The locals call their nation “Goryeo”, which means “high and clear”, and this country clearly knows how to surprise!

Compared with any other nation, Korean people have the biggest desire to change the way they look. Many Koreans are ready and willing to undergo huge complicated surgeries. The male population in South Korea spends over $900 million on cosmetics every year. You can shop till 4 in the morning.

Blood type compatibility can be a very important criterion when choosing a potential spouse. South Koreans are crazy about sweet potatoes and honey butter chips. People tend to open up after they’ve had a couple of glasses of soju (a traditional hard liquor), even the shyest ones.

When a baby is born in South Korea, it's already considered one year old.
