Cultural Tip: Team Sports in Korean

In Korean, the concept of ‘team’ is crucial when talking about sports. Instead of just saying the sport name, make sure to add 팀 (tim), which means ‘team’. For example, ‘soccer team’ would be 축구 팀 (chukgu tim). This emphasizes the collective aspect of sports in Korean culture.
