सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

Koreans often use weather talk to express concern. If you say it's cold, expect someone to tell you to eat something warm. In Korean companies, the first 2 minutes of a meeting are often about the weather. It's a way to build 'Gibun' (good feeling) before talking business. Traditional Korean medicine (Hanbang) links cold weather to 'Hangi' (cold energy) entering the body. Talking about the cold is a reminder to protect one's 'Gi'. On apps like KakaoTalk, people send 'winter greetings' stickers when the weather turns cold, often using formal or polite language to elders.
