What are the customs in Korea?

The traditional etiquette for Koreans to meet is to bow. When the younger generation and subordinates meet their elders or superiors when walking, they should bow to greet them and stand aside to let them go first to show their respect. Men greet each other, bow and shake hands. When shaking hands, they either use their hands or their left hands and nod only once. Women don't usually shake hands with people. 1 In Korea, if someone invites you home for dinner or dinner, bring a small gift, and it is best to choose packaged food. When toasting at dinner, you should hold the bottle in your right hand and the bottom of the bottle in your left hand, then bow and toast, and finally pour three cups. The toaster should hold its cup lower and touch the other's cup with its rim. Take a bow before you leave after drinking. When you are a guest, the host won't show you the whole house. Don't wander around alone. Koreans accept gifts with both hands, but they don't open them in front of guests. It is not appropriate to send cigarettes to Korean friends. Wine is the best gift for Korean men, but you can't give wine to a woman unless you make it clear that the wine is for her husband. The Korean government stipulates that Korean citizens must respect the national flag, national anthem and national flower. Not only does the radio regularly play the national anthem, but it also plays the national anthem before the theater performance. The audience must stand up. If foreigners are too negligent in the above places, it will be considered as disrespect for South Korea and Koreans. When sitting with the old man, sit up straight. Because the Korean dining table is a small table with short legs and placed on the kang, both the host and the guests should sit cross-legged on the ground when eating. If you should kneel in front of your elders, no matter who you are, you must never straighten your legs or part, otherwise it will be considered impolite or insulting. Don't smoke in front of your superiors, and don't borrow or take fire from them privately. Don't make any noise while eating, let alone talk. You should take off your shoes when you enter a family house or a Korean hotel. Eating in the street and blowing your nose in front of people are considered rude. Never mention the word "North Korea" in front of Koreans, and never refer to "Seoul" as "Beijing". Photography is strictly restricted in Korea. Military facilities, airports, reservoirs, subways, national museums and places of entertainment are all prohibited, as are taking pictures in the air and high buildings. ◆ The diet includes many Korean dishes such as onion, garlic, ginger and pepper. If it is difficult to adapt, you can bring some delicious snacks (such as mustard tuber). You must eat raw seafood in Jeju Island, because the seafood there is absolutely pollution-free. Calling the hotel will increase the service charge, so it is best not to call the room. The most economical way is to buy a phone card (available everywhere) and make a call on the card phone.
