Peer Groups in Korea
.jpg)
Due to my status in Japan, as Foreigner, I will rather introduce peer groups in Korea.
In Korea, peer groups usually divided according to what they have interested in. For example, nerds gather up with those kind of nerdy kids. Sports lovers hang out with whom like and play sports. It seems like those group members do not interact, communicate, and hang out together. However, they quite often hang out together though.
Also, teenaged kids mostly divided into groups of boys and girls. If there are some stuff to do with, then they hang out sometimes But, it is very rare to see bunch of boys and girls hanging out.

In my opinion, peer groups in Korea are similar as those of Japan. However based on my experience in states, there are many boys and girls mixed groups in states. The group of mine was also mixed. We have lunch together usually and do homework or projects together. These things are not really common thing in Korea and Japan. Boys stick with boys and vice versa.

Introduce J.D., OH to you!
Hi guys, my name is HongJae, OH. I usually go by J.D.
I’m from S.Korea. Went Elementary in London and Seoul, and moved to states for the middle school and high school years. During the time in states, I lived in NYC, Chicago, and IdahoFalls. I went schools until my junior year in Bonneville High at IdahoFalls and came back to Korea. But now I’m staying in Japan as student of Waseda Univ. My department is School of International Liberal Studies. Even though I live in Japan now, my Japanese is not that fluent so understand. Onegaisimasu ;)
Let me introduce my family. My father runs numbers of pharmacies and mother owns some real estate companies. I have one younger sister. She is three years younger than me. Right now, she is a high school student in Seoul Korea. The school she is going to is music and art high school and my sister majors violin. Sometimes we fight and talk craps a lot each other, but usually I just give it up.
Well… during free time, I listen to music most of the time. I love any music genres. But my favorite is hip-hop and rap. Recently, I totally got into Common, and Kanye West. Love their beats and lyrics. Sometimes, I go on the Internet and surf my favorite sites.
It is great pleasure to meet you guys even it is through the Internet. I wish I can meet you guys at either U.S. or Japan. Thanx.
