This is something that people in the UK and the Western countries generally may play this occasiinally when they are kids or perhaps to settle something small, such as who goes first and what-not. However in Korea it appears to be much more powerful. Kids use it all the time here, if there's some sort of indecision it always comes down rock-paper-scissors. The kids must use it at least 5 times every day if not many, many more times. But it's not just them, the adults actually seem to use it and for more serious things than any body I know would. They also re-inforce it's use in lessons, for instance I have had a lesson where one of my co-teachers has basically used rock, paper, scissors as a stand-alone game. It was not even a game to do with the lesson, she just had the students play 가위 바위 보 to fill the time.
From the outside it may seem like nothing, but when you experience how often it is used, it just leaves you a little puzzled.
