how do koreans sit?
All koreas sit cross legged with their legs under the table. we say 양반다리(yang ban da ri).
The "yangban-dari" is a traditional Korean cross-legged sitting posture where the legs are crossed, with the ankles resting beneath the knees.
The term "yangban-dari" originates from Korea's Joseon Dynasty, as it was a typical seated posture for the "yangban" or upper class. This position symbolized dignity and stability, making it ideal for conversation, meals, and document work.
Though it's less common in modern, chair-based lifestyles, yangban-dari is still used in traditional Korean settings. Similar to the lotus position, this posture is simpler and more relaxed, with a focus on comfort rather than intricate leg folding.
the "yangban-dari" posture can be hard on the lower back and joints.
