The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic with powers shared between the president, legislature and judiciary. Since 1948, the Constitution underwent five major revisions, each signifying a new South Korean republic. The current Sixth Republic began with the last major constitutional revision, in 1988.\n\nThe Head of State is the president, who is elected by direct popular vote for a single five-year term. In addition to being the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the president also has considerable executive powers. The president appoints the prime minister with approval of the National Assembly, as well as appointing and presiding over the State Council of chief ministers.\n\nThe South Korean legislature is the National Assembly, a unicameral body in which members serve a four-year term of office. This legislature currently has 299 seats, of which 243 are elected by regional vote. The remainder are distributed by proportional representation.\n\nThe South Korean judiciary is largely independent of the other two branches. The highest judiciary body is the Supreme Court, whose justices are appointed by the president with the consent of the National Assembly. In addition, the Constitutional Court oversees questions of constitutionality.\n\nThe main political parties in South Korea are the Uri Party, the Grand National Party (GNP), the Democratic Labor Party (DLP), and the Democratic Party (DP). The Uri Party was formed in late 2003 from a liberal faction of the DP (then the Millennium Democratic Party). The Uri Party gained a slim majority in the National Assembly in the April 2004 legislative elections, but lost that majority in subsequent by-elections. The conservative GNP and centrist DP form the dominant political opposition. The progressive DLP is aligned with labour unions and farmers' groups, and constitutes the left-wing opposition.

First of all, there are two Koreas, so which do you mean? For South Korea, you can look up zip codes at the site below. North Korea does not seem to have a similar site.

What goes around comes around. Korea reached the semi-finals on the basis of dodgy refereeing but this time, the referee was right. The ball was last played by a team-mate and the Koreans should play to the whistle not the flag.

Actually, Samsung only sells individual products in South Korea. The most popular hypermarkets would be E-mart, Hyundai and Lotte (more upscale).\n\nSome foreign businesses also get their foot in the door: the French company Carrefour and to a lesser degree the American company Costco modestly survive here.\n\nKeep in mind that Korean shopping habits differ from Western shopping habits, as they tend to frequent malls and large stores less than we do (for reasons that are out of scope of the question). This is why Carrefour, which was the first global supermarket chain to enter Korea (in 1996), may actually withdraw from Korea, like it has from Japan.

제육(Cheyuk) means pork or hog flesh, according to a Korean-English dictionary. However there is another word for pork in Korean which is more commonly used. Normally, 제육(Cheyuk) is only used in the expression "제육볶음"(cheyook bokkum) (fried pork)

Are you joking?\n\nDon't generalize.\n\nTake a look at Japan and South Korea.

The scientific method, which all of the fields of science (biology, physics, chemistry, etc) adhere to, as well as medicine, was a concept thought of in Europe.  Since it was invented because there was pretty much no consistent way to examine things before that, it had no competition for becoming the dominant method of research and discovery.\n\nAlso, since it had to spread from there to other places, it took time to catch on and has to compete with other theories which have traditionally held sway in other parts of the world.  The long story short on that one is that the countries where Christianity is very popular also happen to be the countries where the scientific method had no serious competition, so it's been practiced more whole-heartedly in those places, leading them to gather more knowledge and make more discoveries, in recent history, as a result (being rich and sucking most of the resources out of the rest of the globe doesn't hurt their ability to do it, either).\n\nHowever, Christian countries aren't responsible for all the scientific developments, research, and inventions in the world.  \n\nLook at how much is invented in Japan, and it's a Shinto country.  The scandal around the one doctor aside, South Korea does a lot of great biomedical research... also not a Christian country.  India's had no shortage of its own scientific and medical discoveries, and they're Hindu.\n\nAll sorts of people make discoveries across the globe.  =)

They are not semi-democratic, idiot ^^^...they run a democracy just like the USA.\n\nThe Korean War, from June 25, 1950 to cease-fire on July 27, 1953 (the war has not officially ended), was a civil war between North Korea and South Korea. When conflicts began, North and South Korea existed as provisional governments competing for control over the Korean peninsula due to the Division of Korea. The Cold War-era conflict was a proxy war between the United States and its allies and the communist powers of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Soviet Union. The principal combatants were North Korea, supported by People's Volunteer Army (PVA) of the People's Republic of China, and later Soviet combat advisors, aircraft pilots, and weapons; and South Korea, supported principally by the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom (UK), Canada and the Philippines, although many other nations sent troops under the aegis of the United Nations (UN).\n\nIn South Korea, it is often called "6·25" (the date of the start of the conflict), or, more formally, Hanguk Jeonjaeng (한국전쟁). In North Korea it is formally called the "Fatherland Liberation War." In the United States, the conflict was termed a police action, as the Korean Conflict, under the aegis of the United Nations rather than a war, largely in order to remove the necessity of a Congressional declaration of war. The war is sometimes referred to in the West as "The Forgotten War," primarily because it is a major conflict in the 20th century that is rarely referred to in everyday life.\n\nTherefore, Korea split into two: one being communist, the other leading a democracy. North Korea won't allow South Koreans much less anybody inside their country.

No. It could seem that way because of Truman's policy of communist containment. Actually Kim Il Sung song-and-danced Uncle Joe Stalin into believing that an invasion of South Korea from the north would be a pushover, and only take a couple of months to prosecute. He also convinced Stalin that the USA would not retaliate to save South Korea.

Communism is the buzzword.  But really its called Imperialism.\nWars outside of national soil are for greed and pride.\nKorea and Vietnam did not represent a threat to the US.  Not until they decided to attack first.

are you thinking of 'symbols' as in the korean equivalents of chinese characters? cause korean characters are like english characters.. they spell sounds so the same combination of korean vowel and consonants can mean a million things.\n\nbut if you're not, then i don't know.
