What is calligraphy called in Korea? (The one with Brush and ink)

Is it still practiced in Korea?

I practice Chinese calligraphy so I dont know too much about Korean writing (Hangul). Is it any different from Chinese calligraphy? (Like strokes and such since you guys have the circle ^_^)

Oh, and is this true because my non-Korean friend told me that when using the circle in Korean writing, it has to be the same diameter, size, and inch. Is that true? >_<"

Actually, Korean Calligraphy isn't very different from the Chinese. In fact, it's pretty much the same thing. Sometimes we use hangul (한글), but a lot of the time we use 한문 (hanmoon) which is basically chinese characters. The only difference between the two kinds of calligraphy nowadays is that the Chinese use its simplified version while Koreans use the traditional characters.

About 이응 (ee-eung - that's what Koreans call their letter ㅇ), the circle doesn't have to be a perfect circle. In fact, as you get used to 한글, the 이응 doesn't really look like circles... sweatdrop
