What terms for parents are popular in Korea

Categories: East Asia, South Korea, Citizen Media, Ideas, Language

A blogger discovered what terms for parents are popular in Korea through the search engines of several major portal sites. According to the table and graph [1] that he (she) made, father (a-beo-ji) is used more than dad (a-bba) and, on the other hand, mom (eom-ma) is used more than mother (eo-meo-ni) by internet users. The blogger’s theory is that it shows relations between parents and their children in Korea [ko].
