Amazing Koreans!

Korea often makes headlines—but Koreans themselves, much less so. Who are they in everyday life? What do their gestures, habits, and ways of being reveal? Through a series of curious and delightful questions, Jean-Claude de Crescenzo offers a vivid portrait of contemporary Korea. Drawing on more than twenty-five years of immersion in Korean culture, he illuminates with warmth and precision the ordinary practices, enduring values, and subtle social codes that shape Korean life.
