Step into a Korean elevator and the button for the 4th floor might be missing — replaced by a capital "F." Why does an entire country quietly edit a number out of its buildings?

On The Story Real Korea, we follow the pun at the center of it all: in Korean, "four" sounds exactly like "death." We get into where the fourth floor really disappears (hospitals, older hotels), the 404 apartments that sell for less, the railway that skipped locomotive 4444, how this "tetraphobia" spans East Asia — and why new buildings are quietly bringing the 4 back.
