Koreans still practice and believe strongly in Confucianism. Confucianism defines relationship among people with five codes.
The Five Ethical Codes:
1) Righteousness and justice between governors and the citizens
2) Distinction between husband and wife
3) Order between young and old
4) Closeness between parent and child
5) Trust between friend and friend
Just to summarize, the first four relationships voice down to status. In Korea, men will always have a higher status than women and the old will always be held in high regards.
