Chapter 213: The Body and the Earth Are Perfect

For the magical country of South Korea, Li Lei actually knew a little bit before coming to Seoul.

After all, now is the Internet era, the process of information globalization is getting faster and faster, and there are more and more exchanges and communication between countries around the world.

But what impressed Li Lei the most was actually the almost perverted self-esteem and so-called etiquette of Koreans.

To put it simply, it is just a simple name, and in Korea, it can be divided into honorifics, pyongyu, and semi-languages.

Honorifics are said to elders to superiors, and various endings to express respect, such as Your Excellency, Mr. and so on. And Pingyu is spoken to peers, such as people who are about the same age as themselves. As for semi-language, it is only used by children or friends who are very close to each other.

In Korea, you need to respect your elders, you must use honorifics, and you are more casual with children, so you can say half words, and it is worth emphasizing that honorifics are generally spoken in the workplace. But many cases are not certain, such as children and mothers who speak half a language. Of course, except for families with strict family education, in most cases, children will also speak plain language when they meet for the first time.

In Li Lei's view, this is almost harsh, but in the eyes of many Koreans, it is a very normal thing.

It's like the barbecue restaurant that Li Lei walked into with Park Donghai just now, the boss treated Park Donghae, although he was about the same age, he used honorifics, obviously because the identities of the two people were too different.

As for Li Lei, because he was a guest brought by Park Donghae, he was also very polite.

It's just that after listening to Li Lei's words for Park Donghai to translate, the man was also a little surprised.

"Do you know me?" the man looked at Li Lei in surprise: "I'm also famous in Huaxia?"

After all, although he didn't understand what Li Lei just said, he could tell it by distinguishing it, and it should be Chinese.

Park Donghae frowned, but still smiled and helped Li Lei translate it.

Li Lei laughed and smiled at Park Donghae: "Secretary Park, this friend of yours is an artist, right? I saw him in a variety show in South Korea." What's the show called......

He doesn't usually watch much, but occasionally glances at it when he is bored with his roommates, but now he can't remember it for a while.

"Haha?" At this time, Tang Xin on the side also recognized the short man with a round face, and blurted out.

"It's me. Hearing the other party call out his name, the man with the stage name Haha immediately bowed to Tang Xin.

After all, for artists, especially Korean artists, it is indeed an honorable thing to be known by foreigners.

This is undeniable, and it may seem completely strange in the eyes of many Chinese people. But for the vast majority of South Koreans, this is a glorious thing.

South Korea's national self-esteem is very strong, to put it bluntly, a small country with few people and no background, so they are very enthusiastic about everything that comes to international matters.

South Korean male athletes who can win medals in international competitions can even be exempted from compulsory military service. The actor who starred in "Full House" just played a supporting role in a Hollywood movie and instantly became an international superstar.

In this regard, Li Lei said that it is really impossible to understand the brain circuits of Koreans.

But now, it seems that because Tang Xin recognized Haha's identity, he was very happy, and he even served a plate of pork belly to several people.

"Dong-hoon is my high school junior, his stage name is Haha, his real name is Ha Dong-hoon, and now he is a singer and comedy artist. Park Donghae introduced Li Lei and Tang Xin: "The program you see should be "Xman", which is a variety show on SBS TV, and Dongxun is a resident guest of that show. ”

"Oh oh......" Tang Xin and Li Lei nodded together, no wonder they looked familiar, they had been making trouble for a long time, and they were really a star.

"South Korea is different from our country, there are more celebrities, so when you walk on the street, you are very likely to meet celebrities. Cheng Wei, who hadn't spoken much, explained to Li Lei and Tang Xin.

"Is that so?"

Tang Xin looked surprised, but Li Lei was very calm.

Although he doesn't understand much of this, Li Lei can analyze the reason for this situation from another angle, which is nothing more than the fact that the country is small and the population is small.

To put it bluntly, a country has a population of only 50 million, and as a result, there are tens of thousands of people engaged in the entertainment star industry, and the proportion is so high, which naturally makes the profession of a star worthless.

The most expensive Korean barbecue is undoubtedly Hangeok, but Li Lei doesn't understand why He Dongxun would be so happy when he said that he had a few more plates of Hangyu.

"What is Han Niu?" When Ha Dong Hoon and Park Dong Hae went out to the bathroom, Tang Xin asked Cheng Wei strangely.

She can see that even if this Miss Cheng doesn't know Korean, at least she is a Korean expert.

Sure enough, Cheng Wei heard Tang Xin's question, smiled and said, "Hanniu is beef produced in South Korea." ”

"What's so unusual?" Tang Xin looked curious, she really didn't understand.

Li Lei interjected: "This is going to involve the so-called body and soil of Koreans." ”

"Body-to-earth?"

Tang Xin was still confused, obviously not understanding this statement at all.

Li Lei explained with a smile that the so-called indivisibility of the body and soil has spread as an embodiment of the national spirit. What it means is that we absolutely must not do anything that is detrimental to the interests of the state and the nation or hurts the feelings of the nation in our own motherland and the place where the nation is located.

These four words first appeared in the Mahayana Sutra, and the Korean interpretation is "born as a Korean, died as a Korean ghost", they feel that I was born in my own country, have the land that raised me, and the things produced in the land that gave birth to me and raised me are the most suitable for me, and always remind the people to use local products.

Koreans have been very successful in using these four words to guide consumption. Leather bags sold in Korean stores often see the words "body and soil". Korean beef is two or three times more expensive than imported beef, but most Koreans eat local beef. The deep-rooted belief that only Korean things are the best. Not to mention automobiles, electronics, they are relatively developed industries.

After speaking, Li Lei concluded: "Basically, they can be regarded as supporting domestic products." ”

Tang Xin and Cheng Wei both laughed, and they had to admit that Li Lei's summary was still very incisive.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, Cheng Wei frowned, nodded to the two bodyguards who followed behind, and the expressions of the two of them became serious.
