Through a single photo at a time, we take a closer look at culture in Korea. This is K-Culture in Photos.
Baksu. In English, it means “applause” clapping your hands to show appreciation, encouragement, or celebration. And in Korea, you can see it in all kinds of moments. What do all these moments have in common? Look at this! A coach applauding his players. Here, graduates are clapping for themselves and their friends. And look at this official welcoming ceremony in Brasília, where the two leaders and their spouses are applauding together. At award ceremonies, a round of applause is also a way to celebrate someone else’s achievement. But wait, here’s another familiar face! Actor Matt Damon was recently spotted enjoying a KBO baseball game in Korea and he was joining the crowd with a round of applause or baksu
Now, this is quite a sight! Are we at Waterbomb? Look at all that water pouring into the stands! Well, this isn’t a water festival. This is a baseball game! And it’s not just water that’s making a splash. Fans are armed with all kinds of cheering gear, creating an atmosphere even hotter than the sweltering late-August weather. And there’s a reason for all this excitement. The KBO League has just entered the 10-million spectator era for the third consecutive season. The cheerleaders lead the crowd, while fans sing, clap, wave their cheering tools, and move together as one. It almost feels like the entire stadium has become one giant cheering section! And with the stands packed with fans, you can almost hear the roar coming right through the photos. And of course, all that energy is ultimately for the players on the field. With thousands of fans behind them, the players bring their own passion to every pitch, hit and play. That’s the power of KBO fandom the fans don’t just watch the game. They become part of it.
Look at this! A retro-looking train is pulling into the station. It may not look as sleek or modern as today’s trains, but there’s something strangely familiar and comforting about it. And wait look closely at the front. It says, “Thank you for 29 years of dedication to Busan.” The driver’s expression seems to say it all. And here’s a look back at when it all began. The image may look blurry and the quality isn’t great but remember, this is a photo from decades ago! The signs celebrating the opening of Busan’s subway show just how exciting that moment must have been for the city. And now, after 29 years and about three million kilometers on the tracks, the train has taken its final ride. Former passengers came to say goodbye, taking photos and preserving their memories of a train that was once part of their everyday lives. And look at this warm farewell. Railway staff and drivers gathered to applaud the train one last time. After 29 years of carrying generations of Busan citizens, this familiar train is finally taking its place in history.
What do you think those giant yellow umbrellas are doing on the street? They’re upside down and hanging from trees! Well, look closer. These are actually ginkgo fruit collectors a clever idea designed to catch the fruit before it falls onto the street. Ginkgo trees one of a symbols of autumn in Korea are beautiful, but their fallen fruit can create a rather unpleasant smell when it gets stepped on. The idea is not only practical, but surprisingly pretty. With pastel-colored collectors hanging from the trees, the street almost looks like an outdoor umbrella exhibition. And when the sunlight hits them, they even seem to sparkle! Now, these are ginkgo fruits, scattered all over the street. In the past, street cleaners had to constantly sweep them up and remove them. When ginkgo trees turn the streets into a sea of gold, it’s easy to see why we want to keep them around. And sometimes, a simple, ingenious idea is all it takes to enjoy the beauty without the unpleasant smell.
And that’s a look at some of the everyday moments that make Korea special.
