If you've spent time around Koreans, you might have been asked about your blood type before.
This might seem unusual if you're not familiar with Korean culture. However, in Korea everyone knows their own blood type, even if they've never donated blood before.
This is because many Koreans believe that a person's blood type can influence their personality.
The Korean word for blood type is
"hyul-ek-hyung" (혈액형)
and there are 4 kinds -
A, B, O, and AB.
Type A Blood
A person with type A blood in Korea is seen as being kind to other people, but also a perfectionist and an introvert.
Type B Blood
A person with type B blood is seen as being creative and passionate. However, they're also seen as being irresponsible, selfish, and possibly lazy as well.
Type O Blood
People with type O blood are considered to be confident and expressive. On the other hand, they're also considered egotistical, and risk takes.
Type AB Blood
And finally, people with type AB blood are considered to be rational and calm. At the same time, they're also considered to be critical of others, as well as indecisive. People with AB blood are thought to be either a genius, or a psychopath. Many villains in drama shows will have type AB blood for this reason.
What blood type are you?
