When many foreigners think about Korea, they describe Korea as the dangerous and devastated country after Korean war.
However, Korea has hosted many international sporting events, Asian games in 1986, Olympic in 1988 and Worldcup in 2002 and Korea will host Asian games in 2014 and Pyeongchang winter Olympic in 2014. Being chosen as the site of winter Olympic games, Korea becomes the sixth nation to land the "grand slam" of international sporting events. After hosting many sporting events successfully Korea has bacome known as a strong country in sports.
Sports make many other foreign people feel positive on Korea and make them want to visit to Korea. Also, many sports stars such as Park Ji-sung and Kim Yu-na let them know Korea well. Korea is now small, but very famous country for sports, K-pop, hard-working, many cultural attractions and so on. In this regard, sports are very inportant.
However, I also want them to recognize Korea as the country of courteous people in the East as well as the power country in sports. We learned to respect for adults and not to step on an elderly person's shadow. In addition, We bow to person who is older than us every time we meet and bow down to the ground on festival days when we visit adult relatives. It is only the most unique culture in Korea. That's why I hope the foreigners will know both of them.
