Contexte culturel
Jeju is famous for its wind. The traditional houses have low, thatched roofs tied down with ropes to prevent them from being blown away by the strong sea winds. Wind is a frequent motif in Korean poetry, often symbolizing the 'winds of history' or the trials faced by the Korean people during the 20th century. The term 'Hallyu Baram' (Korean Wave Wind) is used to describe the global popularity of Korean culture. In the past, people believed that certain winds brought diseases. The word for 'stroke' in Korean is '뇌졸중', but it is often colloquially called '풍' ({풍|風}), which literally means 'wind'.
