#5: Koreans Ladies wear masks when outside 

In this case, we’re not talking about sheet masks. Though you shouldn’t be too surprised to spot these in public as well. After all, we’re in the land of K-Beauty! The masks we’re talking about now are protection masks that cover the mouth and nose. They’re commonly made of thick cotton and come in many different colors and patterns. Koreans wear them out for health reasons. Pollution can be tough in cities like Seoul, so it’s often advised to wear protective masks outside. Besides that, you’ll also find Koreans sporting these masks in public transportation and at airports. Those people are either having a cold and are trying to prevent others from catching it or they’re trying to fight motion sickness. Apparently, those masks help block out the typical vehicle odors that trigger motion sickness for some. Now, everybody in the world wears a mask because of COVID19.
