Cultural Context
In Korea, openly expressing anger, especially towards elders or superiors, is often considered disrespectful and can be stigmatized. This can lead to suppressed anger, which might manifest in other ways or contribute to '화병' (hwabyeong), a culture-bound syndrome characterized by physical symptoms from suppressed anger and stress. '분노 조절' programs are becoming more common in workplaces and schools as society recognizes the importance of healthy emotional expression and management, moving away from the sole emphasis on suppression. The term is frequently used in news and social discussions regarding incidents like road rage (보복운전, 'bobokunjeon').
