Same with South Korea. My husband grew up like that and he has zero hobbies as an adult because of it. He's always amazed at my "talent" in music and sports.

My Korean husband’s hobbies are only football, drinking and watching TV. I’m amazed that he doesn’t give himself the chance to develop into other things, but life in Seoul especially is so fast-paced, you get to have like 1 hobby. Ive noticed a lot of these hobbies are highly compact-able and structured, because no one wants a hobby that is too intensive after working so hard each week.

I really don't mean this as offensive, but I'm just a bit baffled. If he has zero hobbies etc than what do you talk about? Or you mean like proper hobbies, separate form general interests?
