सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Traditional Korean breakfast is not 'light'. It often includes a hot soup (guk) and rice (bap), which is believed to provide the necessary energy for the day. This is why '식사' (meal) is a very appropriate term. Many young Koreans now skip breakfast or have '간편식' (simple meals) like triangle kimbap from convenience stores. However, the question 'Did you eat breakfast?' remains a standard polite greeting. Morning meetings (조찬 모임) are common in Korean business culture, where important discussions happen over a formal breakfast at a hotel or high-end restaurant. Eating breakfast together is traditionally seen as a way to maintain family unity. Even in busy households, parents often insist that children 'do breakfast' before leaving.
