Bedeutung
The act of regularly recording personal thoughts and experiences.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Elementary students often have their diaries checked by teachers, leading to a culture of 'writing for an audience' even in private journals. Similar to Korea, the 'Nikki' culture is strong, but there is a specific focus on 'Observation Diaries' (observation of plants or insects) in summer. The transition from '일기를 쓰다' to '브이로그를 찍다' (filming a vlog) is a major trend among Gen Z Koreans. Royal diaries like 'Seungjeongwon Ilgi' are the largest continuous record of a dynasty in the world.
