About South Korea

Located in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, South Korea, officially known as the Republic of Korea, stands as one of East Asia's most developed nations. It shares borders with the People's Republic of China, North Korea, and Japan. The country mainly consists of mountainous terrain and experiences a temperate climate, with notable temperature variations throughout the year being uncommon.
South Korea has a rich history dating back to before 2000 BCE, making it one of the world's oldest civilizations. Additionally, it stands as one of Asia's top four economic powers, with advanced industries, particularly in electronics and technology. The automotive and machinery sectors are also highly developed, contributing to a high standard of living influenced by technology.
South Korea is surrounded by numerous peninsulas and islands along its coasts. The weather conditions in the country vary, being milder in coastal areas and becoming more continental as one moves inland, resulting in slightly lower temperatures. Average temperatures in the summer months are around 30 degrees Celsius, while winters can occasionally drop below 0 degrees Celsius, accompanied by snowfall.
The majority of the population in South Korea consists of Korean descendants, with a small number of Chinese residents. The country has a generally low migration rate.

Although Korean is the official language, a large portion of the population also speaks English.
