Where's the Beat in Korea - Part 2

Ok. Here is an update.

It is official. I have double checked and talked with many other people about it. Korea does clap on 1 and 3. Most of my friends hadn't noticed... but after I mentioned it, they hear it all the time.

When Koreans are listening to music or clapping along to music they stick to that off beat. Well, it seems off. (No matter what the drums are doing they do their own thing.) I'll be listening to a perfectly normal version, musically, of a worldwide Hillsong hit and then they go against everything good and normal and make the song sound rushed. AHAGAHAGHA.

Anyway, if you were wondering about the validity of my privious post. It is true.
