I've been living in Korea for a few months now and I may have discovered something. Most Koreans, or at least the real good Koreans, clap on the 1 and the 3 instead of the 2 and the 4. It may be the older generation, much like a traditional church in America that has mostly hymns. But, I've also seen many younger Koreans doing it too! It seems to be limited to certain styles of music.
They borrow so much from the western culture, exspecially with music. So, alot of the newer stuff is normal. But, still it's those few 'change-ups' to the 1-3... they screw everything up! Oh well, at least the guys at the Jazz concert that I went to knew how to jam.
I'll do more research and fill you in later.
