The number four is considered unlucky in South Korean culture. In much the same way that you won’t find a hospital bed in the UK numbered 13 for example, you won’t find the ‘fourth floor’ in South Korea and houses won’t be numbered ‘4’.

This cultural belief stems from the linguistic similarity between the word for "four" (사, pronounced as "sa") and the word for "death" (사, also pronounced as "sa"). As a result, people tend to steer clear of the number four to avoid any associations with negative events. It's fascinating how different cultures attribute unique meanings to numbers!
