Hiking is very popular in Korea, there are mountains and trails everywhere. instead of big 5 and sports authority, they have hiking stores. People wear crazy neon clothes and carry backpacks that say The North Face or Bean Pole. Hiking gear has its own fashion trend and if you dont keep up with it your out of the loop.
I've hiked 3 different mountains since I have been here. They all provide spectacular views and the green trees provide nice shade. At the top you will often see older Koreans drinking makoli (rice wine) and sometimes there is even an ice cream vendor.
