We have many interesting stereotypes has been used to define what types of people they are. Today, I'd like to tell you just one of them. In Korea, the most general stereotype is based on regions. Korean usually thinks that people who come from southern part of Korea are blunt and hasty. Frequently, it causes problems between different regional people and them. Southern people's pronunciation is more harsh than the others, so sometimes it makes misunderstanding. People who come from western  part of Korea are gentle and authoritative. Also, some of Korean think that they speak slowly. Now, you can imagine that the conversation between southern person and western person. What do you think about that? As you expected, it will be in trouble. But, that is not a serious problem. Because western people are gentle, so they may not say like this. " You are so critical!!"
