This isn't pertinent to Korea necessarily (this is based on European history), but our ideas of privacy have changed. Families used to share a single bed. Parents would have sex, probably not making a show of it, but when their children were still in the room, sleeping. It sounds messed up nowadays, but in the past children used to be exposed to that stuff and no one cared. It could have just been the same way in Korea. Sex is a natural thing. We view at a sort of private thing now, but in other cultures and in the past that concept didn't even exist.
It's the same as modern day Korea. Koreans will go to "love hotels" or on "day trips" where they can spend time together. However Koreans are generally very conservative and tend to respect their parents a lot, so often they will stay with their family at home until they are married before moving out. Couples in Korea take things much slower than in the West, but when the time comes the aforementioned solutions are available. In Ancient times, people wouldn't generally have sex until they were married, but by that time they would have moved out. So it's a little different from modern circumstances.
i prefer it when she looks normal doing her vids.. role playing as that dude and the girl with that huge blonde hay looking wig really isn't my thing... i feel that people feel awkward around her while she's in her roles too. just be yourself ! your viewers like you for you!
The sliding walls remind me of Japanese "shoji" .... the Korean beds actually look rather cozy. What's the name for a traditional sleep-on-the-floor Korean bed? Spread several of them around and one might have a pajama party, though it might be too loud for others in the Hanok. Is it true that most Korean houses have limited space, so the beds can be rolled up and put in a closet or cupboard so the floor space can be used for other purposes?
+MarcellusTheGreen very chinese style paper window mixed with japanese rolling door, those sleeping in the floor bed also japanese style. korean have no uniq culture that should mixed and immitate chinese and japanese culture.
hello, mina thank you very much for filming all these video clips... i enjoyed them all... YOU ARE sooooooo funny... and made me laugh so much......cheers!!!!!! :)
Really enjoying your channel +sweetandtastyTV. I only see South Korea when I stop over at the Airport which is very nice. Someday I will explore your country.
The place I stayed at in Gyeongju used radiators beneath the floor (water/steam), but I've seen palaces where coal was used beneath a stone floor. There are also electric systems that install beneath a hardwood floor which apparently aren't too expensive to use; the technology is like a large version of a car's seat heater.
***** The electric solution is more used / relevant in modern apartments and housing in Korea. However in times of old, they would heat coals underneath the floor of the house to heat the floor for a better sleeping environment. Much like a campfire when people go camping, it is not meant to heat you up all night, but allows you to relax more when falling asleep. :)
Many traditional Asian homes have a courtyard in the center of the home. Is that an accepted place to sleep when it gets really humid? That's the purpose of the enclosed porches you see on old American houses as well as gazebos.
They are called Yos. Traditional yos are still made in Korea, much as they have been for centuries. If you visit a manufacturer or browse Korean yo websites, you'll see that the designs can be stunning. Almost all designs feature two coordinated fabrics: one covers the center of the mattress while the second border pattern surrounds it. Yos typically come with matching linens featuring identical patterns on between six or seven matching pillows.
They are Yo's. Why not YOU do the legwork. Look it up. Type in google "What is a Korean bed called"? Thats all. How lazy are you? Oh please please help me,. What is this called,. LOOK IT UP, ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!
+Alok Tju It's a traditional Korea traditional building and door, And Kor paper hanji texture. The same EAsia, there is a similar kind of part. For example, Chinese Tang Dynasty architecture is Japanese architecture and the same. Your negative opinion. Only negative comments found.
Yeah, I think I might skip that experience. Also it wasn't as nice as some of the old compounds that I see not K-dramas. That experience at one out in the country might be fun because they would probably have all of the traditional activities as well.
You guys work so hard, I think you should take one week off of filming, editing, and anything on RUclips right now. Just relax and rest and if you go somewhere, just vlog if you feel like it and that'll be just as nice as your other videos. Also, congrats on almost 200k!
+SkyBlueAugust traditional chinese paper, it's chinese culture that spread across korea and japan. it called paper window. in ancient time, there is no transparent glasses, that is why paper used as exchange of glasses. the sunlight can pass through that paper window.

It's funny how Yoonah talks in korean and you respond in english but she understands perfectly what you're saying
I wonder how do couples can have private moments in ancient times when every family member can hear you
Seriously.
How did they have sex when you could hear everything?

+525Lines that is chinese style house. especially for middle class - rich people. japanese and korean don't have that style.
Lol you're so funny..
Omg my name is Hanok
Yoonah looks sick... :(
What's the name of the traditional korean floor "bed"? I've always been curious
I think that is still a Futon, like Japanese floor beds.
TheLivingDeadOne no, it does have a name in korean. But thanks, anyway :)
tae-young Jung 온돌 is the floor heating thing, if i'm not mistaken? I want to know the name of the quilt thingy that looks like a futon :)
