In hospitals that are often related to life and death, there is absolutely no "4". When drinking or other drinks, people seldom drink four bowls or cups, so even numbers should be avoided. If they drink two cups, they will definitely drink another, and if they drink three cups, they will never drink another. In some families, it is also considered unlucky to have a fourth child, who is often abused. In the army, the word "death" is more sensitive. They think that if the troops rank fourth, they will certainly fail in the battle. Because "4" is particularly taboo, all regiments and formations with "4" are represented by other codes, so there are no 4th Army, 4th Division and 4th Regiment in the Korean army. In terms of sea area division, there are only 1, 2, 3 and 5 sea areas, and there is no fourth sea area.
