Instead of saying “once upon a time,” Korean folktales often begin with the phrase, “back when tigers used to smoke.”

The Korean expression “호랑이 담배피던 시절” roughly translates to “back when tigers used to smoke” or “in the days when tigers smoked.”

Tobacco reached Korea around the early 1600s and became widespread during the Joseon period. People commonly smoked through traditional pipes called dambatdae, made from materials such as bamboo and metal. Long pipes known as jangjuk became especially associated with wealthier Koreans and could even serve as status symbols.

Tigers once lived throughout the Korean Peninsula and became central figures in Korean folklore. They could appear as terrifying predators, mountain spirits, guardians, comic characters, or creatures that behaved almost like humans.

That made the tiger an instantly recognizable character for opening an old Korean folktale. The symbolism remains strong today: a white tiger named Soohorang was chosen as the official mascot of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Groundbreaking botanical research is challenging the long-held belief in human exceptionalism, suggesting that plants possess forms of spatial awareness, intentionality, and consciousness.

For centuries, humans have regarded plants as passive organisms, but pioneering studies are rewriting this view. According to plant neurobiologist Dr. Stefano Mancuso, plants display sophisticated behaviors that parallel those of conscious animals. In laboratory experiments, plants react to anesthesia in ways strikingly similar to humans and animals — for instance, the Venus flytrap becomes completely unresponsive when anesthetized.

Time-lapse studies further reveal remarkable intelligence in common bean plants, which demonstrate clear spatial awareness by precisely aiming shoots toward supports and even adjusting their growth strategy when they detect another plant has already claimed a support.

These findings indicate that consciousness may not be limited to organisms with brains, but could be a more flexible property emerging in diverse life forms. As trees migrate northward in response to climate change, mirroring animal migration, researchers argue that our understanding of “mind” must expand beyond traditional boundaries.

With over three trillion trees on Earth, acknowledging plant consciousness could transform our ethical frameworks, agricultural practices, and relationship with nature, shifting from viewing plants as mere resources to recognizing them as active, aware participants in our shared ecosystem.
