Blood Type Personality in Korea

If you have ever visited or stayed in Korea, you have probably noticed that a lot of people ask "what is your blood type?". This question is one of the most common questions that Koreans ask, apart from "how old are you?". In Korea, it is perfectly fine to ask about a person's blood type, especially if you want to get to know someone very well instantly, in particular, on a blind date. The reason is that Koreans believe that each blood type has its own distinct personality and it is the quickest way to determine a person's temperament and even compability with others.

So, who developed this concept? The blood type theory was developed by a Japanese man named Masahiko Nomi. He bagan his first career as a journalist and his first book "Understanding Affinity by Blood Type" became a bestseller in the 1970s. The idea then spread outward and it is popular in some Asian countries such as South Korea and Taiwan. Maybe you are wondering now, "what about my blood type then?". Don't worry; I'll go through the basic blood types so we can see what they have to say!

1. Blood Type A
According to the Korean blood type personality chart, it is said that people with blood type A are known to be diplomatic and friendly, but due to their sensitive natures, they prefer staying alone to being in a group, therefore they may feel uncomfortable in crowded areas or parties. Also, they are fragile-hearted and easily get hurt, which makes them take extra time to open up themselves to people. Others may take this negativitely and view them as snobs, since people with blood type A are good at hiding their feelings and do not express themselves a lot compared to other blood types such as B or O. They are punctual and always expect the best results in everything they do, and that trait often gives people the "perfectionist impression".
 
2. Blood Type B
According to the Korean blood type personality chart, it is said that B types are the most outgoing compared to other blood types. They are independent and passionate about the things they are interested in. Type Bs always seek stimulation and they are not afraid of speaking their minds, so they can be seen as self-centered because they express their opinion, regardless of what the other person might feel. In Korea, men with blood type B have a bad reputation of being playboys and not being suitable for a stable relationship. Although this blood type has a negative reputation for being "the blood type of playboys", there are many positive traits too. They are curious, honest and enjoy attention, thus making it easy for them to make friends, like a social butterfly!
 
3. Blood Type O
They are known to be energetic, practical and friendly. Also, blood type O is labeled as a natural leader. They are experts at expressing their opinions in a constructive way, making sure that everybody listens to them, whilst remaining friendly to everyone. They know how to control their emotions well, giving others a great impression of being stable and under control. Research in Korea indicates that blood type O is the most preferred blood type by CEOs and coworkers because of the traits mentioned above. However, although they might have a reputation of being strong outside, they are very sensitive inside. People with blood type O have some difficulties expressing their feelings due to a fear of rejection and they tend to burn themselves out by trying to get things done perfectly.
 
4. Blood Type AB
They are the most interesting type compared to the others because this blood type is labeled as either genius or psycho. They are unpredictable because they often jump around from one activity to the next and their temperament is a mixture of blood type A and B, which means that their personalities change very quickly depending on their mood and the situation, and they do not have control over this sometimes. Blood type ABs are also rational thinkers, therefore they cannot stand it when they find some situations to be irrational. As a result, they may have difficulties interacting with people, giving others the wrong impression of being moody or two-faced.

The Black-Haired Woman: Chiyuki

For this Character of the Week , I chose my favourite female protagonist ever. However, there will be heavy spoilers in this one, so beware if you have not seen the anime Death Parade yet! Her name in the anime is never revealed until the very end, and she has black hair with a tiny white strand on the right side, so she has always been known as The Black-Haired Woman (or, in Japanese, 黒髪の女 [Kurokami no Onna]). To fans, she is sometimes referred to as Onna , which means "woman" in Japanese. Her real name is Chiyuki , though her surname is unknown. The series followed Decim , the main character and the bartender of Quindecim , but the way Decim judges souls changes completely and the story makes a turn when the mysterious woman shows up at the bar. As she has no idea how or why she came there, she became Decim´s assistant at the bar and started helping him with the lost souls that comes frequently to the place, just like the black-haired woman. When you die, you arriv...

Corpse Party & Sachiko Shinozaki

Before starting with the Character of the Week, I would like to give background because I absolutely LOVE Corpse Party. It is so unique and, when I discovered it, unlike anything I had seen before! So, what is it? Corpse Party (in Japanese, コープスパーティー Kōpusu Pātī ) is a series of several things; Video games, anime OVA, manga works, drama CDs and live action films. I cannot go over every part of CP, that would be way too long of a blog post so I´ll be mostly talking about the games. This is the history & what it says on the official Fandom Wiki: "On April 22nd 1996, an adventure game called CORPSE-PARTY was published in the Spring 1996 edition of LOGIN Sofcom No.6 . It was made by a 22-year-old college student by the name of Makoto Kedouin , who typically stylizes his surname as Kedwin. On February 26th 1997, Kedwin won the grand prize in the Second Annual ASCII ENTERTAINMENT competition, netting him 5 million yen. It´d be nine years before the world saw Corpse Part...

Darling In The FranXX: 02

Today's "Character of the Week", I decided to include one of the main characters from the anime Darling In The FranXX, a short anime I really fancy. I will be talking about none other than Zero Two, or 002, the main heroine and the deuteragonist. Darling in the FranXX is a short (It has 1 season containing 24 episodes) Sci-Fi, Mecha, Action & Romance anime that premiered in winter 2018, airing from January 13th to July 7th 2018. Very well, onto the description: "In the distant future, humanity has been driven to near-extinction by giant beasts known as Klaxosaurs, forcing the surviving humans to take refuge in massive fortress cities called Plantations. Children raised here are trained to pilot giant mechas known as FranXX—the only weapons known to be effective against the Klaxosaurs - in boy-girl pairs. Bred for the sole purpose of piloting these machines, these children know nothing of the outside world and are only able to prove their existence by ...
