It's a Korean DNA Thing
There are Korean people smiling and clapping at the same time.
Why?
Why do Koreans always clap when they laugh?
Automatic Reflex
In fact, even Koreans don’t know the reason. And of course, me either. I don’t think there’s any particular reason. Maybe it’s just an automatic reflex or something.
Sensitive to Reactions
Some people say this is because Koreans tend to react sensitively to other people’s reactions. That's why applause shows "I'm well integrated into this conversation."
Body Reacting
But actually, it's just the body reacting without thinking. Others say that you act out loud to elicit a reaction from the other person and make the other laugh too.
Laugh Together
Hmm. Maybe it could be true. When someone laughs in front of me, I usually laugh too. But, again, I think it's just the body reacting with high probability. Believe me.
Health Benefits
Anyway, laughing with clapping produces natural painkillers in the brain and improves memory. So maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to try it.
The Korean habit of laughing and clapping simultaneously is a fascinating cultural reflex. Whether it's an automatic reaction or a way to engage others, it has unexpected health benefits. So, the next time you laugh, try clapping along. It might just make you feel better and enhance your memory.
