Hwoesik

edit

Hwoesik(Korean: 회식, Chinese: 會食) is one of the most popular gatherings in society of Republic of Korea, and refers to a group of people gathering to eat and drink together in general. In Korean society, Hwoesik has been established as a subculture of the organization or enterprise program.

Origin

edit

The origin of the Hwoesik was based on the word "Hoe-min" of the Joseon Dynasty.[1] It is said that the word "Hoe-min" was used in order to make the kings and officials of Joseon become 'Let's be one'.[1] It seems that the most likely theory has changed from the word " Hoe-min to "Hwoesik".[1] In this way, a hwoesik is not a place for the individual, as it can be interpreted as an interpretation that the king and his subjects should live together and eat together.[1]

History

edit

1980s~1990s

edit

Under the influence of Korean traditional military culture, even those under the influence of superior drinking must drink. Liquor and binge drinking were made mainly by the 'bomb shot' or 'poktanju' such as beer+spirits and soju+spirits.[1] In the 1990s, however, the campaign for sound drinking started, and culture to avoid social gatherings spread due to the economic crisis of the IMF.[1]

2000s~the present

edit

Companies and organizations are trying to improve their Hwoesik culture as the social atmosphere is being discussed as an issue of 'bombshot', drinking glasses, and sexual harassment.[1] Not just drinking and dancing, but entertainment and cultural gatherings such as watching movies and bowling are increasing.[1]

Changes in Hwoesik with the enactment of the new law

edit

Kim Young-ran Act(Korean: 김영란법), also known as the anti-graft law, refers to the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act.[2] Various Hwoesik and entertainment cultures have significantly decreased and the percentage of leisure activities by individuals is increasing.[2]

Changes in Hwoesik with Me too movement

edit

In 2017, the Me Too (disambiguation) movement was widespread in Korea.[3] And the Me too Movement is changing the hwoesik inside Korean companies.[3] The senior employees who were leading the hwoesik had fewer hwoesik as they left early.[3] Some companies and public organizations are trying to reduce or eliminate events that their subordinates are uncomfortable with due to the Me too Movement movement.[3] In other words, the hweosik that were forced on subordinates is decreasing.[3]

Forced attendance at hwoesik

Loss of human relations with late hwoesik

Most of the conversation I have with my colleagues is my supervisor and my company's shortcomings.[6] Talk makes gossip.The person who talks about gossip can be heard later on, leading to a breakdown of relationships and the internal atmosphere.[6] Also, when I have a hwoesik with my boss, I often listen to my boss's story, not interactive conversation.[6]

China

edit

Chinese people enjoy dining at restaurants on holidays or with friends. Such dining culture serves to exchange feelings and complement a dull diet.[12] Most of the restaurants that Chinese people visit are popular restaurants, which are relatively cheap.[12] Whether a restaurant is popular or not is the first condition that identifies a restaurant.[12] Some specialty restaurants are less expensive, but they are not included in the category of popular restaurants because the menu is not diverse.[12] Popular restaurants refer to Chinese traditional dishes that are popular and common to the public, such as cold, fried, soup and stock. It is also the most common restaurant on Chinese streets.[12] Some popular restaurants will reveal SanghaI's cuisine and Guangdong cuisine on their signboards to show which food system they serve.[12] Therefore, an area that does not identify the region's cuisine on the sign serves dishes that are to the taste of the local people.[12]

samgyeopsal and soju

Koreans eat a lot of samgyeopsal in yellow dust.[15] It was popular from Korean miners.
