Korean crying is the intrinsic, and highly volatile vocal wail common in the Korean populace.
It is a distant relative of amateur Pansori and shares only minor similarities to western-style crying.
It is known for its supreme difficulty to recreate artificially, elevating practitioners to celebrity status in South Korea.
The cry is considered by scholars to have been highly influential in development of karaoke.
It has a biologicalhalf-life of 21 days.
It is the only example to date of 'racial-centric emotion', in that it only appears in ethic Koreans.
