Website Description
About the project
Website aboutkorea. ru is positioned as a guide to the Republic of Korea, although in the Russian-speaking space the country is more often known as South Korea. The official name of the state to which the resource is dedicated is indeed the Republic of Korea. The difference in names is due to the country's geographical location on the southern part of the peninsula.
The project was created with the goal of dispelling myths and giving Russians an adequate idea of life in the country of people in white robes. The authors note that despite the long-standing relations between Russia and Korea, the average compatriot’s level of knowledge about it is often limited by stereotypes or information about the Korean diaspora in the USSR.
Diplomatic relations between the countries were established only in 1990. At the time of writing texts on the site (around 2010), only one small guide to South Korea in Russian could be found in bookstores. The vast majority of Russian-speaking tourists then arrived exclusively from the Far East.
Main directions
The site's content covers a wide range of topics related to life, culture and history of the region. Navigation through the resource includes sections:
- Geography and infrastructure:information about Seoul as the capital, Incheon Airport, cities of South Korea and Jeju Island (Jejudo).
- Culture and life:Sections about Korean cuisine, Koreans, their traditions and the peculiarities of life of foreigners in the country.
- History:materials about the Korean War, where about 3 million people died, and about the role of the USSR in these events.
- Tourism:hotel selections, attractions, travel tips and travel experiences.
- Literature:list of books about Korea and Koreans.
Particular attention is paid to the gap between the perception of Korea in Russia and reality. The authors emphasize that many associations of Russians (for example, Korean carrots or the music of Yuri Kim and Viktor Tsoi) were formed during the Soviet period and do not always reflect the current situation in the Republic of Korea itself.
Features of the site
The main feature of the project is its crowdsourcing nature. The site was conceived as a resource that would be built by the users themselves. Any visitor who follows the community rules can add his own impressions, knowledge, warnings and photographs to the content.
The authors directly point out the problem: ignorance divides, knowledge brings together. The project aims to help those planning a business or leisure trip by providing information that was missing in the early 2010s.
The text mentions popular brands with which Russians associate the country: Hyundai, Kia, Daewoo, Samsung and LG.Also touched upon are taekwondo, Kim Ki-duk films and the 1988 Seoul Olympics, which often pop up in people's minds when Korea is mentioned.
