The end of social distancing revived the ritual of after-work meal gatherings, part of a tradition called ‘hoeshik’ in Korean. An increasing number of young South Koreans consider it an obsolete company culture that intrudes on employees' personal time
The end of social distancing revived the time-honoured office ritual of after-work meal gatherings, part of a tradition called "hoeshik" in Korean. Jang was among the increasing number of young workers here who consider it an obsolete company culture that intrudes on employees' personal time.
Even before the pandemic, an increasing number of South Koreans, particularly younger workers, were already souring on company dinners and similar events, such as company retreats or weekend hiking with co-workers."Now that employees know what it's like to have off-hours kept for themselves, companies won't be able to fully restore the old after-dinner and weekend gathering culture," Suh Yong-gu, a marketing professor at Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul, said.
Kim Woon-bong, 30, who began working for a city government last year, said he felt lucky not having had to go through the mandatory hoeshik culture, thanks to the distancing rules. "It will be yet another conflict between the old and new generation," he said. "But even if the after-dinner and weekend-gathering culture manages to survive, they won't be able to be held as often as they used to be."
