Ep. 104 한국에 오면 사진 이렇게 찍어보세요! 📸 한국의 사진 문화 (Picture Culture in Korea)

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Korean Cultural Park where I talk about various Korean culture. How have you been last week? Well, Korea is now in the middle of summer, so in the case of school, I think I've already started summer vacation. I think the college students have already started summer vacation. There are people who are waiting for summer vacation, so there are some people who are not, but I think there are people who are planning what to do in summer and where to go on a trip. How about you? Do you plan to go on a trip soon or go somewhere with your family or friends? I don't have any plans for a trip, but I don't have any plans yet. But if you set up a plan for a trip, you can cheer up even in your daily life. I'm going on a trip next month, so I have to cheer up. I want to introduce you to my daily life because I have a little excitement. But if you go on a trip or hang out with your friends, do you take a lot of pictures? I don't usually take a lot of pictures, but when I go on a trip or hang out with my friends, I take a lot of pictures. I have a podcast account, and I have my own Instagram, so when I go on a trip, I take a lot of pictures, and when I finish my trip, I choose the best pictures and upload them on Instagram. When I hang out with my friends, I take a lot of pictures, but there's a photo booth in Korea called "Life Naked", so I take a lot of pictures. I hang out with my friends, but on the day I couldn't take a photo of "Life Naked", I come home and say, "Hey, we didn't take a picture of "Life Naked", I forgot about it", and I feel a little sad. I tend to take a lot of pictures of "Life Naked". But what about you? Koreans are social network services like Instagram and SNS. In English, there are a lot of people who upload their own pictures on social media. But I don't upload face pictures in every country. It's different for everyone, but I think there's a country that doesn't usually do that, but in Korea, I think there's a lot of pictures, and I think it's a free atmosphere. So, the story I want to talk about today is the reason why Koreans take pictures. The reason why this story came out is that I went hiking with my friend a little while ago. So, I'm a friend who usually doesn't exercise, but I went up to the top and went up to the top. I went up to the top and said, "We have to take a picture of "Life Naked", we have to take a picture of "Life Naked", and we were taking pictures of each other. We were taking pictures of each other as we wanted. But we wanted to take pictures together. We wanted to take pictures together, but we didn't have a tripod, so we didn't have anything to shoot with a camera, so we were waiting for someone to ask us. But there was a foreigner passing by. I don't know which country it was, but he was from Seoyang. He was passing by from Seoyang, so he was alone. "Oh, I'm sorry, but can you take a picture of me?" So he said, "Yes," and took a picture of me. So, he took a picture of me, and I said, "Thank you," and I got a picture of him. He said, "Thank you so much for taking a picture of me, but I really don't like this picture." He took two pictures of me, and I said, "Thank you." But he said, "We don't like this picture." So, unfortunately, we couldn't upload the picture anywhere, and we ended up in the photo shop. When I look at YouTube, Instagram, and Shorts, I often watch these videos. One of them is "Why do you have to ask Koreans for pictures when you go overseas?" There are videos like that. But I've seen a lot of media that only show in Korea, so it could be in other countries as well. In other countries' versions, "Why do you have to ask Japanese people for pictures?" Or, "Why do you have to ask Russian people for pictures?" But I've seen videos that say, "If you ask Korean people for pictures, they will take a really good picture." So, please take a lot of pictures. Most Koreans go overseas, or go on the road in Korea, and ask, "Can you take a picture of me?" They answer in a really chic way, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, just in a chic, indifferent way." "Oh, yes, I see." I looked at the phone, and they said, "Please take a lot of pictures from that time." "Wait a minute, I'll take a picture of you horizontally, vertically." "I'll take a picture of you on this angle, on the top, on the bottom, and on the seat." So, there are videos that say, "There are a lot of people who take a lot of pictures." So, when we went up the mountain, we didn't like the pictures we received. But other Korean families arrived at the station. So, they asked me, "Can you take a picture of me?" I took a lot of pictures of them, too. I took a picture of them on the top of the mountain, so that the whole landscape could be seen. I took a picture of them in front of me, horizontally, vertically, close to me, far away, and I took all the pictures. I took a picture of them on the top of the mountain, and I took a lot of pictures of them. So, when I look at these scenes, when I look at these images, I realize that Koreans really like pictures. Koreans like to take pictures. I realized that there are a lot of people who take pictures. So, I was wondering why. So, today, I'm going to talk about the culture of pictures in Korea. And when you ask for pictures, I want to talk about how to take pictures that people can enjoy. I don't think I'm good at taking pictures, either. But there are a few points that I care about the least. Most Koreans share these points. So, I'm going to tell you about these points. Lastly, there is a Korean expression that I want to tell you about. I'm going to tell you all about it. I hope you all focus on it until the end and listen to it well. Then, let's get started right now. Please enjoy it. Let's start with the culture of pictures in Korea. I want to talk about the culture of pictures that I've experienced since the internet was created. In the past, I didn't have the chance to take pictures with a camera. But when I took pictures, I uploaded them on the internet and saw other people. I think the culture of pictures has been created since the beginning, so I'm going to talk about what I've experienced. In Korea, many people started to use the internet and started to post pictures and messages on social media. I think it started from 2000, when I was in the 2000s. So, the first SNS that I had in Korea, the first SNS that was popular was Cyworld. Have you all heard of Cyworld? Cyworld was probably a SNS that everyone would know if they had gone through the 2000s. I've heard of it before. So, I used to use Cyworld a lot. Cyworld is similar to Instagram now. You can use your own home page to upload pictures and things you think about. Or you can use other people's home page or other people's home page. Cyworld was a place where you could chat and leave messages and comments about pictures. So, since then, people have been posting pictures and things like that. There's a culture that was popular with Cyworld. Have you all heard of "Euljang"? It started with the word "Euljang". It means "Euljang" and "Eulguljang" means "Your face is so pretty and cool". "Jjang" is the most popular word in the past. So, if you think about it now, it's like an influencer. If you have a pretty face and a handsome face, the mini home page is famous. People download their pictures and use them on the background. That culture has been created. Since then, a lot of people have been posting pictures and things like photoshop in Korea. "Euljang" is so pretty and "Eulguljang" is so handsome and handsome. "I want to take a picture and upload it like this." It's pretty to just take a picture and upload it. So that a lot of people can feel attractive to look at it and make their faces smaller. It's more attractive to make their eyes bigger and make them look more attractive. It's also a decoration. It's a flower shape, a heart shape, a brain shape. At that time, it was trendy, hip, and cool. It was also a decoration for that. So, from then on, I think people liked to take pictures of me and upload them. I think I liked to decorate and stuff like that. And this is especially popular among women. There are a lot of photos that are naturally fixed, and there are a lot of fixed apps right now. I think I used to use that a lot from the past. And Cyworld became a little less popular, because Facebook came out. Facebook came out, and then Instagram came out. So, people kept taking my pictures and uploading them. Especially, when you go to Facebook or Instagram, it started to be popular to take photos of me. I started taking photos of me taking photos of me going to a famous place. I started taking photos of me taking photos of me going to a famous place. So, I called that a "recognition shot". Because I came to France, I had to take a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower to take a picture of me going back to France. I think that kind of culture was created. And the concept of "influencer" was made in a world-wide way. Those people were so good at taking pictures, wearing good clothes, and going to beautiful and cool places. And people were like, "Oh, this place looks good". I think that's what they did. And not only on the internet, people just liked taking pictures. When I met my friends, there was a photo booth called "Life Naked". In 2010, there was a sticker photo booth called "Sticker". It was called "SSA". The sticker photo booth was a photo booth where you can decorate your photo booth. You can take pictures, write a letter, and decorate your photo booth with stickers. There was a retro photo booth called "Sticker". It came out, and "Life Naked" came out in a simpler version, and it came out in a pretty version. So when I saw all of this, I realized that Koreans really liked taking pictures. When I met my friends, there was a culture where I took pictures like this. And I realized that the culture of taking pictures of me and posting them on social media became a common thing. What do you think? Do you think it's the same in your country? I don't know. What I felt was the same. But the important thing about the culture of taking pictures in Korea is that it's important whether it's a pretty picture or not. So I didn't just take pictures in front of France or in front of the Eiffel Tower, but the picture that came out pretty was in France. The most important thing is that you have to come out pretty. If you're good at taking pictures there, you have to pay attention to the background or the composition. The most important thing is that Koreans have to come out pretty. This is an important point in how to take pictures well. You have to come out well. Because the reason why I took pictures is to show people that I'm pretty, that I ate good food, that I went to a cool place, and that I wanted to show people that I went to a cool place, and that I wanted to record by myself. When I was young and pretty in a cool place, I wanted to show people that I was in a cool place, and that I wanted to show people that I was in a cool place. So there are things like this in Korea. Body profile or snap picture, wedding picture, there are things like this. Body profile is a picture that people who work out make their bodies pretty and make their bodies look good. It's a picture of bikinis or underwear. But when I see that later, there are people who take pictures to record that I was young and pretty in a cool place. Later, it becomes a motivation. I was in a cool place like this, but I have to go on a diet again. It can be a motivation, so body profile was very popular. I didn't do it, but I couldn't. I couldn't follow the trend, but that was also popular. The wedding picture in Korea is also very pretty. Have you ever seen it? I showed it in the episode I talked about marriage. During the process of preparing for the wedding in Korea, the wedding picture is necessarily in the course. It's very important to take pictures because you pay a lot of attention to the picture. Professional photographers take pictures with a really expensive amount, pretty. There are things like that. Or even ordinary people use a snap picture or a photographer for a day to go to a park together and take pictures. I like to take pictures of all these things that I'm recording today in a pretty way. Later, when I look back, I like to take pictures that I can keep. And usually, women take a lot of pictures like this. Now, who's next to the women? There are also male friends. When women go on a trip with their male friends or go for a trip, they want their male friends to take a picture of them as if they were taking a picture of me. So I ask my male friends, "Can you take a picture of me with the background here, baby?" So my male friend said, "Okay, okay." And I got my phone. So I look at the picture and take a picture. So I take a picture of me and show it to my female friend. "What's this? I look like this. I'm ugly. I just don't want to take a picture of you." That's how it works. So my male friends are sweating. "I'll take a picture of you again. Give it to me again." And my female friend said, "Okay, thank you." But I don't like it at all. So my female friend feels bad all day. So I ask my male friends, "Oh, I'm in trouble. I have to take a good picture of you." "Can I take a picture of you like this?" "If you take a picture of me like this, I'll keep learning from my female friends." "Baby, you didn't do that. You made your face too big." "So make your face smaller from a distance." "And when you take a picture of me, don't cut your legs. You have to make it come out this way." "You have to learn how to take a picture of a man." "Oh, you have to pay attention to these things." And then, all over the world, Korean people, especially those who have gone through the 2000s, They take good pictures of men and women. I think the culture of the pictures has developed. Korea is very sensitive to trends, and it's a place where the trend changes very quickly. The culture of the pictures has been popular, and it's a culture that records me and shows me well. I think the culture of the pictures has developed as I take a picture of myself while I'm taking a picture. I think the culture of the pictures has spread a lot. So the way you can use this is that you can get married or hang out with your friends. Today is the youngest day of my life, so I want to record myself when I'm the youngest. If you want to be pretty, there are a lot of professional companies and companies in Korea. There are a lot of Instagram and YouTube. It would be nice if you could come to Korea to take a wedding picture or my personal snap picture. There is also a Japanese person who came to Korea to take a wedding picture. I think it would be nice to come to Korea to take a picture of myself while I'm taking a picture. Lastly, I want to tell you three tips on how to take a good picture and how to take a good picture. I'd appreciate it if you could listen up to that point. Yes, how to take a picture of a Korean person. When Korean people take a picture, they only know this, but there are some methods that don't curse. The first one is to take care of the ratio and the composition. The second one is to keep in touch. The third one is to explain the trend. The first one was to take care of the ratio and composition. This could be difficult because it has a wide meaning. What should I take care of? First of all, most Koreans like to take pictures vertically. People who upload pictures on social media these days. So, when a person is in front of you when you take a picture, there are feet. Feet. It is said that the whole scene is to make your feet come out from your head to your feet. You shouldn't have a lot of space under your feet. The first reason why I said that I didn't like the picture I took at the mountain is because the space under your feet is this big. You look very tall. So, leave a little space under your feet. After taking a picture of your feet, you can put a lot of space on your head. You can put a lot of space on your head. The most ideal thing is, do you know the grid on the camera? If there are about two lines, it is better to have a face on the top than the middle. Please remember this. And it's very basic to match the level. If the ocean is behind you, the ocean is straight like this. But if you turn your phone around and take a picture, the ocean comes out diagonally and the whole picture gets dizzy. So, even if you keep the level straight, you will get a good picture. And the last thing is, if you are in front of a person, you have to take a picture lower or straight than the height of the person's eyes. If you go higher than the person's eyes, your face is this big and your legs are this short. And if you take a picture according to the landscape behind you, it will be too different depending on the situation, so I think it would be good to take a good picture. And the second thing is to take a picture continuously. If you take a picture with your friends in Korea, it doesn't end at once. So, how do you take a picture? The point is not to take a picture like this. If you are in Korea, you can take a picture like this. I will take a picture horizontally like this. So, I will take a picture as much as I can, so you can change the pose, change the face, and erase it. And there are a lot of people who take a picture with the mind that you choose. So, it would be nice if you could do a little bit of coaching. Oh, well, smile. There are people who can't take a good picture because they are shy and embarrassed. There are people who are a little frozen, so take a picture like this. Oh, try a different pose like this. Oh, good, good. I'll take a picture down here. Oh, good. I'll take a picture here, too. So, if you take a picture like this, you can choose by yourself, so I think that would be helpful. Rather than one, just take a lot of pictures and choose by yourself. I think it would be okay to do that. And the third one is called a trend. If you really want to take a good picture, you have to keep looking at it a lot. For example, there was an MG shot recently. It was a wide-angle camera, 0.5x, iPhone 0.5x. It was popular to take a selfie from a distance so that it could come out to the background. It was also popular to pop a flash. I think there is no good way to keep following and taking pictures. So, please remember the tips I taught you today. Let's become a person who takes good pictures. It's good to take good pictures because you ask for it. I hope you can take a picture that you like and remember it. That was the story of Korean and photo culture. Lastly, there is a Korean word I want to tell you. It's called 'Iwang' and 'Giwang'. 'Iwang' and 'Giwang'. The word 'Giwang' means that you have to ask the Koreans for a picture. So, they interviewed me. 'I don't know you, but why did you take a good picture?' I asked them. They said, 'It's good if you take a good picture of Iwang.' That's what they said. After reading their words and comments, there were a lot of people who said, 'Iwang is Korean.' They said, 'Iwang is Korean who does his best.' There were a lot of reactions like that. So, I wanted to tell you that the word 'Iwang' is a good word. I think you can guess the word 'Iwang'. The word 'Iwang' means that you have already passed. So, they asked me for a picture. They said, 'I know.' So, they said, 'I'll do my best.' There are a lot of choices here. The first one is 'I'll take a good picture of you.' The second one is 'I'll take a good picture of you.' The third one is 'I'll do my best.' 'I'll take a good picture of you.' 'I'll take a good picture of you.' There are a lot of choices like that. I've already decided to take a good picture of you. So, I'm going to choose the best choice. I'm going to do my best. So, I thought, 'This mind is really good.' Even if I do something, I'll think, 'I'll try my best today because I woke up in the morning.' 'Oh, today, I'm going to cook instead of buying outside.' And I opened the fridge. Then, you can just cook by frying the eggs. I've decided to cook 'Iwang'. So, I thought, 'Should I just make it delicious?' With a very light heart. But I'll do my best to make it. Isn't that kind of mind good? When I make a podcast, I have a lot of things to take care of from 1 to 10. I can make the thumbnail more beautiful. I can just use the letters. Making 'Iwang' thumbnail. The best thumbnail. I'll make it with a thumbnail that many people want to press. You can apply it like this. Or, I went to the gym when I was working out. But you don't want to do it. It's hard to work out. But you came to the gym. You came to the gym. So, you have to do your best. And you can work out. So, you have 'Iwang'. There's 'Iwang' too. These two are almost the same. 'Let's try to do 'Iwang' well.' 'Let's have fun playing with 'Iwang'.' You can use it like this. When you don't want to do something. But you have to do it. You know? You can't do what you want to do. But when you have to do it. Remember the word 'Iwang'. I'll do 'Iwang'. Let's just do it properly. I don't know. Let's take a picture of 'Iwang'. It's good. I took a picture of 'Iwang'. I don't like it. I'll take a picture of 'Iwang' in front of him. If you take a good picture. It's good for you and me. I wanted to tell you what it would be like to spend a day with that kind of mind. Okay, then. I'll give you the last announcement. I'll finish it. I'm doing the 'Patreon' and 'YouTube' membership.
