The Increase of Single-Person Households

  • The Increase of Single-Person HouseholdsBy Choi Yong-il Reporter, Junior of Chemical and Biological EngineeringIn the past, the ordinary family composition in Korea was a household of parents and children living under one roof. However, this structure has changed in recent years. According to Statistics Korea, in 2023, the number of single-person households in South Korea reached 7.829 million, comprising 35.5 percent of all households. This is a consistent increase from 15.5 percent in 2000. In contrast, the proportion of four-person households declined from 31.1 percent to 13.3 percent over the same period. As more people choose to live alone, significant changes are taking place in housing, consumption patterns, culture, and society. The increase in single-person households is not just a statistical shift, but an important trend throughout Korean society. Lets explore the background of this trend and the resultant social and economic changes.Causes of the Increase in Single-Person Households1. Spread of Non-Marriage CultureIn the past, marriage was considered an essential process in life. Today, younger generations see marriage as a choice rather than a necessity. Particularly among people in their 20s and 30s, marriage is often delayed or avoided due to economic burdens, shifts in personal values, and concerns about balancing career and life. The rapid increase in house prices has made it difficult for newlyweds to get a house, and the economic pressure of raising children further discourages marriage. In addition, with society giving more value to work-life balance, prioritizing happiness over family life has also become more common.2. Aging SocietyAccording to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, South Korea officially became a super-aged society in 2024, with those aged 65 and older accounting for over 20 percent of the total population. As a result, the number of elderly households living alone who let their spouses go first or live apart from their children is also increasing rapidly. In the past, elderly parents often lived with their children, but the culture of parents and children living independently has been established due to nuclear familyization and changes in the way they live. Moreover, as older people become more economically independent, some choose to live alone voluntarily.3. Economic Uncertainty for Young People.Over the past few years, economic uncertainty has increased in Korean society, increasing the burden of marriage and starting a family. In particular, employment difficulties and income stagnation among young people lead to choices that do not postpone marriage or start from the beginning. According to the 2023 Youth Economic Activity Survey conducted by Statistics Korea, employment rates for young people in their 20s and 30s have stagnated, and temporary work has increased. This makes it difficult for young adults to be economically independent, and consequently, they settle for living alone as a practical choice. Marriage in the past was considered a means of social stability, but todays young people prioritize personal development and self-satisfaction and are once again promoting the increase in single-person households.As such, the number of single-person households is steadily increasing due to various social and economic factors. However, this phenomenon is bringing about major transformations in society and the economy.Changes Brought by the Increase in Single-Person Households1. Changing Meaning of FamilyIn the past, families in Korea were considered blood-based units of support and emotional stability. However, as single-person households increase, the meaning of family is evolving. Various forms of life are emerging, including non-marriage households that do not choose to get married, households that choose to live independently after divorce, and single-person households of the elderly who live alone. Now, there is a growing trend of emphasizing individual autonomy and independent life. Thus, new lifestyles that deviate from traditional family structures are increasing.2. Expansion of Single-Person Consumer CultureThe increase in single-person households is reshaping consumption patterns. Convenience stores and food delivery chains have seen significant growth, and customized subxss-scription services such as Netflix, YouTube Premium, and coffee subxss-scription plans are becoming increasingly popular. In addition, the solo dining and drinking culture has led to the opening of single-serving restaurants, and the beverage market is serving individual consumers by offering smaller product sizes.Advantages and Disadvantages of the Increase in Single-Person HouseholdsFirst, as a social advantage, living alone allows individuals to design their lives based on personal values and preferences. As an economic advantage, an increase in single-person households encourages diversity in career choices and work styles, leading to a more flexible labor market and the creation of new job opportunities. Moreover, single-person household consumption patterns are different from existing family unit consumption, and various industries can grow accordingly. This can be used as a springboard for new consumption market and economic growth opportunities.On the other hand, a social disadvantage of the increase in single-person households is the weakening of traditional family structures, which may lead to an increased risk of solitary deaths among the elderly and increased social isolation among the young. With more time spent alone, mental health problems such as loneliness, depression, and anxiety are likely to increase. Growth in the single-person household population contributes to falling marriage and birth rates, exacerbating the low birth and aging population rates. This could lead to chronic labor shortages and increased costs for pension and welfare programs. Individuals in single-person households bear the full burden of living costs, making financial stability difficult to achieve. Compared to family households, they lack economic and emotional support structures, which could lead to difficulties in preparing for old age.The increase in single-person households is no longer a temporary phenomenon but is positioned as a continuous change in social structure. The change is restructuring consumption patterns and industrial structures, with both opportunities and challenges. If the government and businesses design policies and services appropriate for single-person households, they can mitigate disadvantages while promoting economic and industrial benefits. Adapting to these societal changes will be a crucial challenge for both individuals and society.

  • The Great HangeulBy Lee Han-na Reporter, Sophomore of Chemical and Biological EngineeringDid you know that Hangeul, the official writing system of Korea, is the only writing system in the world where the creator, creation period, purpose, and principles are all clearly documented? Lets take a look at how this magnificent national heritage Hangeul is passed down to the present day.The History of Hangeul- Sejong the Greats HunminjeongeumThe history of Hangeul dates back to the reign of the fourth monarch of the Joseon dynasty, Sejong the Great (1418-1450).Originally, our ancestors had communicated in our language. However, they borrowed Chinese characters when they wrote a text. This system of notation known as the writing method with borrowed characters, was used from the Three Kingdoms Period (1st century BCE) until the late Joseon period (17th-19th centuries). Nevertheless, this system could not perfectly represent the Korean language, creating confusion between spoken and written words. As a result, common people could neither read nor write. They were unable to express their opinion, even in times of injustice. The ruling class exploited this, using literacy as a means of control. Since King Sejong was moved by his people, he took it upon himself to xss-create a new writing system so that everyone could easily express themselves. In 1443, he invented the Hunminjeongeum, a set of 28 letters, meaning the true sound for teaching people. Afterwards, he officially promulgated it in 1446 through a book called the Hunminjeongeum Haerye.- The Dissemination of HangeulThe dissemination of Hangeul was not easy. King Sejongs intention to enable ordinary people to use written language was a revolutionary idea at that time. Seven of his officials opposed this reform, expressing concerns that it might disrupt tradition and the social hierarchy. Despite their resistance, King Sejong remained resolute in his mission to help the people.Hangeul faced further challenges during the Japanese colonial period. When Japan implemented the Language Eradication Policy, they banned the use of Korean and enforced the use of Japanese to undermine Korean identity and unity. However, Koreans secretly continued teaching and preserving Hangeul. One of the most representative organizations is the Joseon Language Institution. They established unified orthography, standardized Hangeul, and compiled a dictionary by researching the dialects of various regions. Despite arrests and persecution, their determination to protect Hangeul never wavered.The term Hangeul first appeared in 1913 when Ju Si-gyeong, a linguistic scholar, named a scholarly group Hangeulmo under the Joseon Language Society. The name Hangeul gained popularity after the society began publishing an academic journal titled Hangeul in 1927. The word Han means one and great, signifying one text and the great text.The Excellence of HangeulHangeuls hieroglyphics of articulatory organs demonstrate its ingenuity. The consonants are made based on the shapes of the vocal organs. For example, ㄱ [g/k] resembles the shape of the back of the tongue pressing against the throat, and ㄴ [n] mimics the shape of the tongue touching the upper gums. The consonants are systematically derived by adding strokes to these basic shapes. For instance, the stronger sound ㄷ [d] is formed by adding a stroke to ㄴ [n], and ㅌ [t] is xss-created by adding another stroke to ㄷ [d].The vowels are also systematically xss-created from ㆍ, ㅡ, ㅣ. These three basic symbols represent the philosophical elements of the universe: a round dot for the sky, a horizontal line for the earth, and a vertical line for a standing human. This symbolizes the harmony between heaven, earth, and humanity, making Hangeul not just a xss-script but a reflection of profound philosophical thought.Since its creation, Hangeul has played an important role in shaping Korean identity and culture. Nowadays, October 9th is celebrated as Hangeul Day, commemorating its invention and reaffirming its value. If you are already using Hangeul, take a moment to appreciate its convenience and beauty. If you have not yet learned Hangeul, why not start now? Just like King Sejongs intention, Hangeul is a beautiful and scientific xss-script, accessible to all.Photo Sources, Encyclopedia of Korean Culture, The Academic of Korean StudiesNational Hangeul MuseumReferencesSejong the Great, Hunminjeongeum, Hunminjeongeum 28-Encyclopedia of Korean Culture, 2024. 08. 21.National Institution of Korean Language Online Newsletter, “Research of Hangeul: Right or Wrong About Hangeul”, https://url.kr/jwad4g, 2024. 08. 21.National Institution of Korean Language: Want to Know About Hangeul, https://www.korean.go.kr/hangeul/, 2024. 08. 21.Humanities 360, “Compilation of the Korean language dictionary, independence movement that protected our language and writings”, https://url.kr/6ochm8, 2024. 08. 21.

  • Archery in South KoreaBy Choi Yong-il Cub Reporter, Sophomore of Chemical and Biological EngineeringYou felt that Korean archery was great when watching it not only at the Paris Olympics but also at the previous Olympics. Then how did Korea become a powerful nation of archery? Lets find out the secret of how Korean archery obtains great skills and achievements.Korean Archery RecordIn previous Olympics, South Korea ranked first with 32 gold medals, 10 silver medals, and 8 bronze medals. Especially, it shows an overwhelming difference from the United States, which ranked second with 14 gold medals, 11 silver medals, and 10 bronze medals. The womens team event won the gold medal in the Paris Olympics and has not missed a gold medal in more than 30 years since the 1988 Seoul Olympics when the womens team event was first held. Not only is it the only record in the world, but it is also a rare record compared to other Olympic events.Korean Archery Associations fair systemThe contest to select the athletes of the national team is held every year. In the selection contest, there are no additional points for past grades or careers, and only the score from the contest is evaluated. At the Tokyo Olympics, the athletes skills could change because of the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics. This is the reason why they held the selection contest again. Also, they block factions by rotating the coach and manager cyclically.Korean Athletes TrainingTo prepare for the Olympics, the Korean Archery Association built a training center such as an Olympic stadium. Therefore, they made athletes special training such as an actual event. The athletes train with a big speaker next to them and at the baseball park against noise. Also, they go off-season training the same with the local environment. In this way, the Korea Archery Association studies and prepares for all the variables that may occur in the Olympics and conducts actual training. Before the 2001 Beijing World Championships, the Korea mens archery team refused special training, the Korea Archery Association showed the importance of training by kicking out this team.Korean Archery Associations support systemCurrently, there are 900 elementary school athletes, and from the moment they hold the bow, the Korea Archery Association provides all equipment and expenses for a year. If selected for the elementary school youth national team, Korea Archery Association supports the necessary equipment and helps with training. Archery is the only event in Korea that does not have a private education. Therefore it reduces the students financial burden and provides equal opportunities. Chung Eui-sun, Chairman of Hyundai Motor Group, is the president of the Korea Archery Association and has sponsored archery for 40 years since 1985. It is known that Chairman Chung Eui-sun supports 40-60 percent of the Korea Archery Associations budget. At the Rio Olympics, he provided private bodyguards and bulletproof cars because of security issues in Brazil. Because of the poor local facilities, he also provided trailers with showers and physical therapy rooms. Through research and development, Hyundai Motor Group is supporting various technologies in several fields. For example, Precision shooting machines, automatic scoring devices, heart rate measuring equipment, deep learning vision artificial intelligence coaches, and athletes specific grips. The story of archer Ku Bon-chan placing his gold medal around Chairman Chung Eui-suns neck after winning the individual event at the Rio Olympics is still widely talked about. Other archers also expressed their gratitude for Chairman Chung Eui-suns full support. So far, we have thoroughly explored the background and methods behind how Korea archery has achieved great results. I hope you are proud of Korean archery and have a deep interest in Korean archery.

After a contest with a prize of 700 million approximately 2,500 out of 25,000 applicants. Binggrae Confectionery, a consumer goods manufacturer, was decided as the group to be running the baseball team. Binggrae Eagles was decided to be the7th team name on February 27, 1985. In fact, the Binggrae Eagles was founded as the Korean baseball team under the Hanwha group, but the Hanwha group was not famous at that time. Through this, the reason why the Hanwha group borrowed the name of Binggrae, a food company among the groups affiliates, made it friendly to the public. The Binggrae Eagles baseball team, based in Daejeon as their hometown, was established and joined in the minor league on March 11, 1985. Furthermore, since 1993, the Hanwha group and Binggrae Confectionery were separated so that the baseball teams name could be changed to Hanwha Eagles.EmblemThe design of Hanwha Eagles has an intense eagle shape, which gives a powerful image. The teams symbolic color was changed from orange (1986-1993) to red (1994-2006)to orange from 2007.

Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park is located in Busa-dong, Jung-gu, Daejeon. It is the oldest and has the lowest seating capacity among the home stadiums of the Korea Baseball League. From March 19, 2015, Hanwha Life purchased the right to use the name of the baseball stadium and changed the name from the existing Hanbat Sports Complex baseball stadium to Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park. However, despite the new name, the stadium was so old that it was decided to build a new baseball stadium. Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park will be used only until 2024, and the home stadium will be relocated to Baseball Dream Park from 2025.

Why Do Koreans Enjoy Spicy Food?

  • Why Do Koreans Enjoy Spicy Food?By Lee Ye-rim Reporter, Junior of Chinese- The Popularity of SpicinessSpicy food has recently become a trend. People are seeking spiciness beyond moderation, causing a numbing sensation in their mouths and brain fog in their minds. Korean food companies consistently introduce spicy dishes that maintain steady popularity. However, it is not just Koreans who are fascinated in spicy cuisine. We often notice the high view counts of videos where foreigners take on spicy food challenges.- Evolutionary PerspectiveAccording to evolutionary biology, humans developed a preference for sweetness to aid in carbohydrate and energy intake, while the preference for saltiness emerged to assist in mineral intake. Unlike sweetness or saltiness, spiciness is not essential for human survival. Therefore, what is behind the global fascination with spicy food?- The Secret of SpicinessAlthough spiciness is principally perceived as pain, it ironically evokes happiness. Spiciness is sensed not by taste buds but by pain receptors called nociceptors in the tongue. These receptors, located near taste buds, are activated by heat and capsaicin in the same way. Consequently, the brain may mistake the burning sensation in the mouth for an illusion caused by spicy food, leading the body to react by sweating or having a runny nose. Have you heard the saying that eating spicy food relieves stress? This phenomenon is also scientifically explained. Since the brain interprets spiciness as physiological pain, it releases endorphins, akin to narcotic pain relievers. Thus, consuming spicy food can momentarily alleviate stress.- CapsaicinCapsaicin, the key component responsible for the heat in spicy food, is primarily found in the white membrane inside chili peppers. The intensity of spiciness depends on the concentration of capsaicin. In 1912, American chemist Wilbur Scoville devised the Scoville Heat Unit (SHU), the first scale for measuring capsaicin concentration. Bell peppers, devoid of capsaicin, run up to 0 SHU, while cheong-yang red pepper ranges from 40 million to 120 million SHU.- Health BenefitsConsuming small amounts of capsaicin offers several health benefits. It is used in pain treatment for conditions such as shingles and peripheral neuropathy. Additionally, it acts as an antioxidant, inhibits fat formation, suppresses cancer cell growth, regulates cholesterol levels, and boosts xss-metabolism, resulting in approximately an 8 percent increase in calorie expenditure.- Cultural BackgroundMany people attribute Koreas love for spiciness to a longstanding tradition. However, the history of spiciness is not as ancient as commonly believed. Originally, basic Korean kimchi was made by fermenting cabbage with salt. However, the introduction of chili peppers through Japan in the late 17th century transformed kimchi into a spicy dish. The addition of chili powder compensated for the scarcity of expensive salt. Early 19th century literature suggests a push for using various seasonings like chili, garlic, green onions, and salted seafood in kimchi. Spicy seasonings, though inexpensive, invigorated and relieved stress for commoners struggling to obtain meat. The period when Korean cuisine became spicier coincided with rapid economic development. Spicy food became a cost-effective way to alleviate stress and cope with the pressures of striving for success. In the current economic downturn, could the worldwide enthusiasm for spiciness serve as a temporary escape from the stress of modern life?- Tips for Handling SpicinessFor those who find spiciness challenging, there are several coping methods. Drinking milk can be helpful when the spiciness lingers and tears flow, as the fat in milk breaks down capsaicin sticking to the tongue. Alternatively, briefly holding warm rice in the mouth before chewing and swallowing can also reduce spiciness. According to research from the Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University, carbohydrates found in rice, bread, or potatoes absorb capsaicin, diminishing spiciness.- Spiciness and Well-beingYou may have experienced stomachache or frequent bathroom visits after having spicy food. Regular consumption of spicy food can irritate the stomach lining, leading to gastrointestinal disorders such as gastric ulcers and chronic gastritis. Additionally, it can trigger conditions such as reflux esophagitis, indigestion, diarrhea, and hemorrhoids, and in severe cases, it can weaken the immune system against cancer-causing viruses. Given the close connection between spicy food and health, it is crucial to consume it cautiously and in moderation.

  • CaffeineBy Han Ha-yeong Reporter, Sophomore of English Language and LiteratureHave you ever heard the quote, Coffee is black as a devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, and sweet as love. by Talleyrand, a French Napoleonic-era politician? Coffee, placed as an industry that has great stability and clear growth, is a beverage that we often drink today. Coffee contains a lot of caffeine. The word caffeine is understood as a bitter white powder, which is contained in 60 plants, such as a coffee tree, tea, a cola tree, a guava tree, and so on. It is the most taken pharmacologic active ingredient globally, which is in coffee, black tea, cola, cocoa, chocolate, painkiller, and cold medicine, etc.Do you know how much caffeine you usually consume, or what is the recommended intake of it? This article includes information on coffee consumption and intake in South Korea, caffeines benefits and side effects, and the solution for people who love caffeine and intake a lot.Coffee Consumption and intake in South KoreaAs mentioned earlier, South Korea loves caffeine greatly. The most typical caffeine drink is coffee. This caffeinated beverage is always present in our daily lives. Then, how much coffee is consumed in South Korea? According to Hyundai Research Institute, South Koreas annual coffee consumption ranked third in the world, preceded by the United States and China in 2019. Experts estimated that South Koreas coffee sales will reach approximately 8.6 trillion in 2023.Then, how much caffeine do Koreans intake? The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety evaluated the level of caffeine intake in South Korea and found that the average daily intake per capita as of 2015 was 67.8mg, which is about 17 percent of the maximum recommended daily allowance for caffeine (400 mg/day) for adults. (400mg or less for adults, 300mg or less for pregnant women, and 2.5mg/kg or less for children and teens)The main drinks of caffeine are coffee, which is commonly consumed by adults. Likewise, soda, which is consumed by children and teens, and then processed dairy products, which are consumed by preschoolers. Processed dairy products are made from raw milk or dairy products with other foods or food additives, such as chocolate milk or coffee milk.The Benefits of CaffeineCaffeine stimulates the central and peripheral nervous systems, and when consumed properly, then it reduces fatigue, improves concentration, and increases intellectual performance. It also has positive effects, such as removing drowsiness, improving digestion by increasing stomach acid secretion and eliminating waste through diuretic properties. Coffee is said to be good for Alzheimers, a disease characterized by memory loss due to unexplained brain shrinkage, and has anti-cancer properties. In addition, drinking a cup of coffee a day improves blood vessel elasticity, which is an excellent prevention of heart disease and stroke, reduces depression, improves concentration, and also, polyphenols eliminate active oxygen.(Picture)Side Effects of CaffeineIf there is light, there is shadow. Of course, there are side effects. Excessive caffeine consumption can lead to nervousness, increased heart rate, insomnia, and headache. Also, it causes damage to the stomach mucosa because of excessive stomach acid, and in severe cases, it is likely to cause nervousness, lethargy, arrhythmias, irritability, anxiety, and jitteriness. Caffeine can cause the above symptoms of addiction when consumed more than 250-500 mg/day and withdrawal symptoms such as fatigue and headache when stopped eating.(Picture)Although there is a recommended daily allowance for caffeine, sensitivity can appear from person to person differently, so it is important to control your own intake. We can easily find caffeine in daily life because of its stimulating, fatigue-fighting, and headache-relieving effects. However, caffeine itself does not restore fatigue, and it just makes you feel less tired. It is important to check how much caffeine you are consuming and try to reduce unnecessary caffeine. If you feel listless, instead of drinking caffeinated beverages, try going outside to get fresh air, stretching and exercising regularly, or taking enough vitamins to control fatigue.

  • Welcome Back, Y2K Fashion!By Yoo JayReporter, Senior of Material Science and Engineering1999, the end of the 20th century, is sending us a signal so we dont forget it. Our current period is called Y2K, which is a shorthand term for Year 2 Kilo, meaning the year 2000. The turn of a new century was a historic moment. As we entered this century, future-oriented values, such as cyber and digital, were on the rise. It has also had an influence on fashion, so the style of clothing called Y2K fashion gave off an innovative and daring high teen mood. This fashion seemed to be forgotten over time, but more and more people have started to enjoy wearing it again, after hearing those signals from the end of the century. Lets look at the celebrities of the late 90s and early 2000s, and catch the signals they have sent.Check pattern clothesOne of the representative high teen movies is Clueless, which was released in 1995. It is the story of Cher Horowitz, the hottest girl at Beverly Hills High School, growing up through realizing true love. Like the popularity of the movie, Chers check pattern two-piece had a strong influence. While the previous check pattern felt like a Preppy Look, combined with a gentle color, this check pattern is characterized by a combination of fresh colors to xss-create an energetic image. At the same time, the check pattern gives off a school uniform mood, which reminds us of the image of a student who plays and studies well. You can complete a more youthful fashion if you wear a miniskirt and top that fits your body.Low-rise pants Princess of Pop, who led the teen pop trend with big hits such as Baby, One More Time, and Toxic, was the fashion trendsetter of that time. She enjoys wearing low-rise pants that lower her underwear to reveal her pelvis, so this item has been in vogue for a while. The point of this dress is that you should wear it freely with a wide design to give a feeling of flowing down. If you match this bottom with a short crop top to reveal the belly and abdomen, you can feel the emotions of that time even more. Dickies 874 low-rise pants are recommended as entry-level low-rise pants. If you want to be a snappy dresser, reveal a thong or trunk underwear.Kitsch itemThe heiress of the Hilton hotel and also a party animal, Paris Hilton is famous for being famous. She wore an exaggerated, romantic look by matching outlandish, colorful, and eccentric items. Her fashion style, which avoids luxury and pursues tackiness, is kitsch. The dictionary definition of kitsch is art, decorative xss-objects, or design considered by many people to be ugly, without style, or false, but enjoyed by other people, often because they are funny. Kitsch, in fashion, is the opposite of classy and formal, as seen in Paris Hiltons fashion. She wore pink clothes that looked like she had taken them out of Barbies closet, and a cubic headband that looked like a toddlers toy! She made use of the kitsch fashion that looks like it pursues chaos, rather than sophistication.So, we have listened to stories from Y2K, which are full of personality. Did their voices touch your heart? Some people would fall into reminiscence, and some would take it as a new culture. Likewise, there are two main reasons why people react to Y2K fashion nowadays. First, the desire to go back to the past. Adults have a desire to go back to their childhood, when they were happy, with ice cream, when they could freely skip classes. This desire is triggered when they see Y2K fashions and their past memories. Another reason is that fashion is a tool which can express individuality. In a 2021 interview with Prof. Kim Gong-sook of the Department of Convergence Contents, Andong University, regarding the revival of the Y2K style, the professor said that These days, the value of self-xss-expression is important. As such, this is a generation who acknowledge diversity, respect individuality, and are not afraid to express themselves. The values of the 2000s, in which they actively shared their thoughts, have communicated with the current generation.So, if you want to change your style, how about interacting with time through Y2K fashion? You can feel their hearts from 1999, when they felt a sense of freedom by boldly expressing themselves, without paying attention to any social cues. Lets find them, according to the frequency thatthey sent from the end of the century. Can you hear me? Answer me if you can, 1999, and I will search for you!
