Little red company hats. MT (Membership Training) is a peculiar Korean tradition. Every year (sometimes more than once a year), employees of the same company, students of the same school, members of the same club go out of their home towns to motels in mountains or on the coast for a big party where rivers of soju and tons of barbecued meat are consume. The idea behind this strange custom is to have people create strong bonds and a sense of loyalty to whatever it is they belong to. On Soyo, there was one such group, all wearing red baseball hats and numbers tied to the fronts of theri bodies. They blended in nicely with the red lanterns strung along the road.
