Ah! and I've found something about Korean habit regarding this song.
Koreans are ardent clap-and-sing people. People love to clap along with the beat at concerts (even sometimes when it’s inappropriate, as I witnessed occasionally at the Jeonju Sori Festival), and when they sing together in a group in informal social situations, clapping is de rigeur. The thing is, the clapping is almost always done in a 2/4 or 4/4 rhythm, and usually on the downbeat…When westerners sing “Happy Birthday”, the downbeats come like this: Happy Birth–day to you, Happy Birth–day to you, Happy Birth–day dear Bob–by, Happy Birth–day to you.
But when Koreans sing it, they clap on every second beat, which puts the downbeats like this: Seng–Il Chuk–ha ham–ni da! [2], Seng–Il Chuk–ha ham–ni da! [2], Sarang ha–neun Chull–su–eui, Seng–Il Chuk–ha ham–ni da! [2].
