Korean Units
"Korean Units" refer to the traditional system of measurement used in Korea, which includes units for length, area, volume, and weight. This system is based on historical practices and is still used in some contexts today, particularly in everyday life and cultural references. Common units include the ri for distance, the pyeong for area, and the gyeong for volume.
In addition to traditional units, South Korea also uses the metric system, which is the standard for official measurements. The coexistence of both systems can sometimes lead to confusion, especially for those unfamiliar with the traditional units. However, understanding these units is essential for grasping aspects of Korean culture and history.
