contemporary culture of South Korea

The contemporary culture of South Korea derives from the traditional culture of Korea, but since the 1948 division of Korea, it has developed separately from North Korea's culture.The industrialization and urbanization of South Korea have brought many changes to the way Korean people live. In the past, most people lived in small rural areas. Changes to peoples' lifestyles have led to many young people leaving country areas to find new opportunities in the cities (particularly Seoul). In the past, it was not uncommon for several generations to live under one roof; today South Koreans are moving towards having a nuclear family.
