F(ourth) floor is 4th floor in Korea
No 13th floor (photo credit: eggrollstan)
The 4th floor in Korea has the same status as the 13th floor does in the US.
The pronunciation for “4” is “sa” which is the same as the Chinese character for “death”, hence the “F” (for Fourth) instead of “4” in elevators.
Quite silly really.
i really loved this when i was in the big k.
institutionalized/socialized superstition.
fantastic.
