| The Korean people are noted for their generosity and warmth. Visitors often remark that Koreans are among the friendliest people they have ever encountered. In addition, Koreans are renowned as one of the hardest-working people in the world. This diligence has not come at the expense of the traditionally generous and warm Korean spirit. The Korean people struggled successfully for millennia to maintain their cultural and political identity despite the influence of neighboring China and the more recent aggressive inclinations of the Japanese. They are a proud people with one of the longest national histories in the world. |
