About

My ambition is to get a better look at South-Korea's culture as well as music. Even though I ended up focusing on the cultural part of Korea, does not mean that I can not write a little about their music from time to time. K-pop originates as we all know it, from Korea and there is no secret that it is an important source of income.

You may question why an 18 year old girl from Norway writes about a culture she has absolutely no relation to. Or if the information on her so-called "blog" is the real stuff. There is one simple answer to this. -I have absolutely no clue. I can not promise you that everything that is written on this blog is true, nor can I promise you that the facts are up to date. But there is one thing I can promise you; I check each information I gather on different sites and consider whether or not it is reliable information.

With this blog, I hope to make others, as well as myself, understand Korean culture and music better. If you have ideas or just want to talk, I will always be here for you. Please check the "Links" section on your right to find places you can contact me.

Lots of love from your very own
Scratchers ^.^

Taegukgi 태극기 (Meaning: Taeguk flag)

The South Korean flag, also known as the Taegukgi. Consist of three different parts; the rectangular white background, the red and blue Taeguk placed in the center, and four different trigrams (selected from the original eight (Chinese: Bagua)) placed in each corner of the flag.

The upper half circle, red, of Taeguk means yang and the lower half circle, blue, means yin. This symbol comes from the philosophy of yin and yang, and represents the balance of the universe.
