This is not a joke question. I have worked with 3 different elementary schools Korea. One trend I have noticed is that Korean children, most being boys, like to draw cartoons of poop. These pictures of poop are always draw in a coil shaped. Now I understand that kids like to draw silly things, but why draw pictures of poop?
It is the same in Japan! There is a manga called ‘Unchikun’ that us very popular among kids! Maybe in Korea too!

I remember that from years ago when I taught kids. It was coil shaped with lines shooting upward (apparently the fumes). It didn’t matter how many times the boys drew it, they always thought it was the funniest thing in the world.
Maybe the kids see it in comic books or on cartoons. I guess they could just think poop is funny. I never got it either. When I was a kid, my friends and I were into boobs….not poop.

I guess they find it amusing. My hogwan kids did it too.

OMG!!!! My kids are adopted from Korea and both my boys are fascinated by drawing poop and people pooping, stink lines and all. My 9 year old’s teacher thinks it’s a sign he’s disturbed, although he seems just fine in every other way. Now I know it’s a genetic thing! He’s my little coprophile….
It definitely is NOT from anything else they’ve been exposed to, like cartoons or books.
I wonder if this has any connection to the penchant for eating incredibly spicy food? Even as toddlers my kids all craved anything spicy…
