[Slide 1: Title – Discovering South Korea]
> Hello everyone!
Are you ready to take a quick but exciting trip to one of the most fascinating countries in the
world?
Today, we’re going to discover what makes South Korea such a unique and unforgettable
place.
[Slide 2: Index – What We’ll Explore Today]
> Here's what I’ll be showing you:
First, we wil take a look at South Korea’s amazing landscapes and mix of tradition and
modern life.
Then, I will introduce you to Korean food — which is not only tasty but also full of culture.
After that, we will dive into entertainment — from global K-pop stars to award-winning films.
And to finish, I have got some fun and surprising facts that you probably didn’t know.
Let’s get started!
[Slide 3: A Beautiful and Unique Country]
> South Korea is often described as a place where the future and the past live side by side.
On one hand, you have cities like Seoul — full of skyscrapers, smart technology, and one of
the best subway systems in the world.
On the other hand, you can visit ancient palaces like Gyeongbokgung, or walk through
traditional hanok villages.
Nature lovers? You will find beaches in Busan, mountains like Seoraksan, cherry blossoms
in the spring, and snow in the winter.
And all of this fits into a country smaller than the size of Portugal!
It’s compact, but incredibly rich in experiences.
[Slide 4: Delicious Korean Cuisine]
Korean cuisine is more than just food — it’s part of the country’s identity.
Take kimchi, for example: it’s spicy, fermented cabbage eaten at almost every meal — and
it’s been part of Korean culture for over 2,000 years!
Another favorite is bibimbap, which literally means “mixed rice” — it combines vegetables,
meat, egg, and spicy sauce in one colorful bowl.
And then there’s samgyeopsal, grilled pork belly, cooked right at the table and shared with
friends.
Food in Korea is often social — meals are meant to be enjoyed together, with lots of small
side dishes called banchan.
It’s healthy, flavorful, and full of variety — no wonder Korean restaurants are becoming so
popular worldwide.
[Slide 5: K-pop, K-dramas & Entertainment]
South Korea is a cultural powerhouse.
K-pop isn’t just music — it’s a global movement. Groups like BTS and BLACKPINK have
fans all over the world, and they have broken records on platforms like YouTube and
Billboard.
But it doesn’t stop at music. Korean dramas — known as K-dramas — have gained massive
international audiences thanks to streaming platforms.
Shows like Squid Game, Crash Landing on You, and Extraordinary Attorney Woo mix
emotion, suspense, and great storytelling.
And don’t forget cinema — the movie Parasite won four Oscars, including Best Picture in
2020, making history.
Plus, Korea leads in esports and online gaming — with huge stadiums for competitions!
Entertainment is one of Korea’s strongest exports — and it connects millions of people to its
culture
[Slide 6: Fun and Interesting Facts]
> Okay — now for some fun facts that might surprise you.
Did you know that in Korea, babies are already one year old at birth? That’s because they
count time in the womb as part of your age.
And here’s another one: in Korea, they don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day the way we do.
Instead, on November 11th, they celebrate Pepero Day, where people give chocolate biscuit
sticks — kind of like Pocky — to their friends or loved ones.
Also, South Korea has some of the fastest internet in the world, and it’s totally normal to
order food, groceries, or even laundry services with just an app — any time, even late at
night.
And safety? People regularly leave their phones or laptops on tables in public while they
step away — it’s one of the safest places to live or visit.
Pretty impressive, right?
[Slide 7: Final Thoughts]
South Korea is truly a country that blends the past and the future.
Whether you’re interested in delicious food, exciting music, or beautiful places, Korea has
something for everyone.
