I once again, by the way, would like to put in a plug for a great Korea blog, The Grand Narrative. If you want to really learn about Korean culture, this is the blog you should read.
Some of my favourite posts (for sake of ease, for the most part I have only linked to the first part of multi-part posts):
Women’s Bodies in Korea’s Consumer Society, Part 1: Their Neo-Confucian Heritage
The Korean Education System and its Consequences for Adults: Part 1
Deconstructing Korean Women’s Attitudes to Lingerie, Bikinis and their Bodies in the 2000s
Koreans, Criticism, and the Korean Language
Why Lee Hyori’s Breasts are a Metaphor for Korean Celebrity Culture
Women’s Bodies in Korea’s Consumer Society, Part 3 (Final): Nation, Family, Self (part 3 is my favourite, though 1 and 2 are good, and linked to)
Sex, Marriage and the Modern Japanese (and Korean) Woman
The Economist on Japanese Labour Market Flexibility: Lessons for Korea
Flatting, Premarital Sex and Cohabitation in Korea, Part 1: Economics vs Korean Culture
