Everything you need to know about 궁합 and Korean compatibility

궁합 (gunghap) means "compatibility" or "harmony" in Korean. It refers to traditional Korean practices of assessing how well two people match, based on factors like names, birth dates, zodiac signs, blood types, or MBTI personalities. While historically used for serious decisions like marriage, today it's primarily entertainment and a way to explore Korean culture.
