South Korea ( listen), officially the Republic of Korea (Hangul: 대한민국; hanja: 大韓民國; RR: Daehanminguk, listen) and commonly referred to as Korea, is a sovereign state in East Asia, constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The name Korea is derived from the ancient Kingdom of Goguryeo, also known as Koryŏ. Highly urbanized at 92%, Koreans lead a distinctive urban lifestyle with half of them living in the Seoul Capital Area, the world's second largest city with over 25 million residents and a leading global city with the fourth largest economy, rated in 2016 as the world's most livable megacity and safest city to live in. Highly mountainous, Korea is a popular winter sport destination in Asia, hosting the 2018 Winter Olympics.

The earliest Korean pottery dates to 8000 BC, with three kingdoms flourishing at 1st century BC. One of them, Goguryeo, ruled Northeast China, parts of Russia and Mongolia under Gwanggaeto the Great. Since their unification into Silla and Balhae in the 7th century, Korea enjoyed over a millennium of relative tranquility under long lasting dynasties with innovations like Hangul, the unique alphabet created by Sejong the Great in 1446, enabling anyone to easily learn to read and write. Its rich and vibrant culture left 17 UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritages of Humanity, the third largest in the world, along with 12 World Heritage Sites. Korea was annexed by Imperial Japan in 1910 due to its strategic and central location, after whose surrender in 1945, it was divided into North and South Korea. A North Korean invasion lead to the Korean War (1950–53). Peace has since mostly continued with the two agreeing to work peacefully for reunification and the South solidifying peace as a regional power with the world's 10th largest defence budget and strong global alliances. In 2016, Korea was rated as the world's safest country to live in, with the lowest crime rate.

Seoul

Seoul (서울; Korean: [sʰʌ.ul]) – officially the Seoul Special City – is the capital and largest metropolis of South Korea, forming the heart of the Seoul Capital Area, which includes the surrounding Incheon metropolis and Gyeonggi province, the world's 14th largest city and second largest metropolitan area. It is home to over half of all South Koreans along with 678,102 international residents.

Situated on the Han River, Seoul's history stretches back more than two thousand years when it was founded in 18 BCE by Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. It continued as the capital of Korea under the Joseon Dynasty. The Seoul Capital Area contains five UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Changdeok Palace, Hwaseong Fortress, Jongmyo Shrine, Namhansanseong and the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty. Seoul is surrounded by mountains, the tallest being Mt. Bukhan, the world's most visited national park per square foot. Modern landmarks include the iconic N Seoul Tower, the gold-clad 63 Building, the neofuturistic Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Lotte World, the world's second largest indoor theme park,Moonlight Rainbow Fountain, the world's longest bridge fountain and the Sevit Floating Islands. The birthplace of K-pop and the Korean Wave, Seoul received over 10 million international visitors in 2014, making it the world's 9th most visited city and 4th largest earner in tourism.

Korea

Korea, called Chosŏn (Korean: 조선; Hanja: 朝鮮) in North Korea and Hanguk (Korean: 한국; Hanja: 韓國) or Daehanminkuk (Korean: 대한민국; Hanja: 大韓民國) in South Korea, is an East Asian territory that is divided into two distinct sovereign states: North Korea, formally the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and South Korea, formally the Republic of Korea (ROK). Located on the Korean Peninsula, Korea is bordered by China to the northwest and Russia to the northeast. It is separated from Japan to the east by the Korea Strait and the Sea of Japan .

Korea emerged as a singular political entity after centuries of conflict among the Three Kingdoms of Korea, which were unified as Silla (57 BC – AD 935) and Balhae (AD 698 – 926). The united Silla was eventually succeeded by Goryeo in 935 at the end of the Later Three Kingdoms period. Goryeo, which gave name to the modern exonym "Korea", was a highly cultured state and created the Jikji in the 14th century. The invasions by the Mongol Empire in the 13th century, however, greatly weakened the nation, which forced it into vassalage. After the Yuan dynasty's collapse, severe political strife followed. Goryeo eventually fell to an uprising led by General Yi Seong-gye, who established Joseon in 1388.

South

South is a noun, adjective, or adverb indicating direction or geography. It is one of the four cardinal directions or compass points. South is the polar opposite of north and is perpendicular to east and west.

Etymology

The word south comes from Old English sūþ, from earlier Proto-Germanic *sunþaz ("south"), possibly related to the same Proto-Indo-European root that the word sun derived from.

Navigation

By convention, the bottom side of a map is south, although reversed maps exist that defy this convention. To go south using a compass for navigation, set a bearing or azimuth of 180°. Alternatively, in the Northern Hemisphere outside the tropics, the Sun will be roughly in the south at midday.

South Pole

True south is the direction towards the southern end of the axis about which the earth rotates, called the South Pole. The South Pole is located in Antarctica. Magnetic south is the direction towards the south magnetic pole, some distance away from the south geographic pole.

Roald Amundsen, from Norway, was the first to reach the South Pole, on 14 December 1911, after Ernest Shackleton from the UK was forced to turn back some distance short.

Seul

Tant de fois j’ai tenté
D’aller toucher les étoiles
Que souvent en tombant
Je m’y suis fait mal
Tant de fois j’ai pensé
Avoir franchi les limites
Mais toujours une femme
M’a remis en orbite
Tant de fois j’ai grimpé
Jusqu’au plus haut des cimes
Que je m’suis retrouvé
Seul au fond de l’abîme
Seul au fond de l’abîme
Celui qui n’a jamais été seul
Au moins une fois dans sa vie
Seul au fond de son lit
Seul au bout de la nuit
Celui qui n’a jamais été seul
Au moins une fois dans sa vie
Peut-il seulement aimer
Peut-il aimer jamais
Tant d’amis sont partis
Du jour au lendemain
Que je sais aujourd’hui
Qu’on peut mourir demain
On a beau tout avoir
L’argent, l’amour, la gloire
Il y a toujours un soir
Où l’on se retrouve seul
Seul au point de départ
Refrain
Tant de fois j’ai été
Jusqu’au bout de mes rêves
Que je continuerai
Jusqu’à ce que j’en crève
Que je continuerai
Que je continuerai
Celui qui n’a jamais été seul
Au moins une fois dans sa vie
Seul au fond de son lit
Seul au bout de la nuit
Jamais, jamais
Peut-il seulement aimer
Jamais, jamais
Je continuerai
Je continuerai
Peut-il jamais aimer…
Tant de fois j’ai tenté
D’aller toucher les étoiles
Que souvent en tombant
Je m’y suis fait mal
Tant de fois j’ai pensé
Avoir franchi les limites
Mais toujours une femme
M’a remis en orbite
Tant de fois j’ai grimpé
Jusqu’au plus haut des cimes
Que je m’suis retrouvé
Seul au fond de l’abîme
Seul au fond de l’abîme
Celui qui n’a jamais été seul
Au moins une fois dans sa vie
Seul au fond de son lit
Seul au bout de la nuit
Celui qui n’a jamais été seul
Au moins une fois dans sa vie
Peut-il seulement aimer
Peut-il aimer jamais
Tant d’amis sont partis
Du jour au lendemain
Que je sais aujourd’hui
Qu’on peut mourir demain
On a beau tout avoir
L’argent, l’amour, la gloire
Il y a toujours un soir
Où l’on se retrouve seul
Seul au point de départ
Refrain
Tant de fois j’ai été
Jusqu’au bout de mes rêves
Que je continuerai
Jusqu’à ce que j’en crève
Que je continuerai
Que je continuerai
Celui qui n’a jamais été seul
Au moins une fois dans sa vie
Seul au fond de son lit
Seul au bout de la nuit
Jamais, jamais
Peut-il seulement aimer
Jamais, jamais
Je continuerai
Je continuerai
