Geocache Description:

Simple small cache, after you translate the coordinates.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but you may park there.

 

To find the cache you must translate the following:

 

 

The catch is; I won't tell you which language it is.  This language isn't like Chinese, where almost every character is a word, but each symbol represents a sound.  Added with another sound, it changes the character completely.

I will give you these hints to find which country you should be looking for that speaks this language.

 

And now for the hints:

  • Hyundai, LG, Daewoo, and Samsung are all major corporations from this country.

  • The most popular martial art in this country became a standard in this country's military training.  In 1961, the rules for this martial art were standardized and became an Official Olympic sport in the year 2000.

  • This country had the "Taeguk Warriors" in the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany for the sixth world cup.

  • Michelle Wie is of this heritage.

  • The national flower of this country is 'mugunghwa' (Hibicus Syriacus).

  • The country's name in its native language is "Daehan Minguk".

  • The country's motto, translated, is "Broadly bring benefit to humanity."
