Salm 삶
While it expresses a person's life or the state of being alive in Korean, it also has a philosophical dimension and can represent a state of feeling skeptical about the meaning of life.
The word conveys the feeling that even if the world is in chaos, you should always strive to live a beautiful life.

Shin-Yeoseong 신여성 was the first magazine for women in Korea, published from 1923 to 1934. It aimed to promote gender equality, challenge Confucian gender conventions, and redefine the ideal modern woman of the time.
Many women during this period were influential in changing Korea's ideas about women, earning the title of "New Women."
Women such as Hyeseok Na, Maria Kim, and Ki-ok Kwon would all be considered "New Women" because they chose to take control of their
own lives, while making extraordinary contributions to their country.

Hapkido 합기도 / 合氣道
In Hanja, the character 合 (hap) means "coordinated", "joining", or "harmony"; 氣 (ki) literally means air, gas, or breath but is used to mean spirit or so-called 'internal energy'; and 道 (do) means "way" or "art", yielding a literal translation of "joining-energy-way".
It is most often translated as "the way of coordinating energy", "the way of coordinated power", or "the way of harmony".
The term "Hapkido", formed by the combination of these three words, is the name of a Korean-based self-defense art based on the harmonious unity of body, spirit, and internal energy, and beyond that, a way of life.

Bojagi 보자기 is a traditional Korean wrapping cloth. Korean women,
taught from an early age to be patient and frugal, would separate
small scraps of fabric into different groups according to
material, shape, color, and weight.
Makers of this “patchwork” bojagi made no effort to hide their stitches
and may have believed that blessings and good fortune (pok)
accumulated with each added stitch and piece.

Eomma 엄마
This is the informal version of “mother” in Korean, which has a similar

Even though it is said differently in every language, the sanctity of a mother
is the same all around the world.
