Sport in South Korea (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. South Korea has traditional sports of its own, but sports imported from the West are predominant. There are various forms of folk dancing still practiced in Korea. Although not commonly considered a sport, traditional mask dance drama is physically demanding. Kite flying (Yeon Nalligi) is considered a sport in East Asia. Kites are flown during the first few days of the Lunar New Year and Chuseok. It is not, however, a major league sport as it is in Thailand. The traditional Korean kite is made of bamboo sticks and traditional Korean paper.
