Dear Listserve members, When I served a Fulbright in ROK in the mid-'90s, I noted a practice among (usually) older Koreans who, while hiking in the mountains, would loudly vocalize or shout. It seemed to be some kind of artful or health-giving practice. Does anyone have information about this? Is there a name for it? How prevalent is this practice? Any information would be appreciated. jk
