Korean eating etiquette:

Note: You must take off your shoes when wearing socks to enter a Korean home, and you must also take off your shoes when eating in a Korean restaurant, so be sure to wear clean socks. Socks that are dirty or have holes are considered rude and are considered uneducated. When taking a seat, both guests and hosts must sit cross-legged on the floor. They cannot straighten their legs, let alone spread them apart.

The internal structure of Korean restaurants is divided into two types: using chairs and taking off shoes to get on the Kang.

When eating on the Kang, the man sits cross-legged and the woman stands on her right knee - this sitting method is only used when wearing Hanbok. Today’s Korean women don’t usually wear hanbok, so they just need to put their legs together and sit down. After you sit down and order your food, soon the lady in the restaurant will take out the tableware and then the food from the tray.

Korean people usually use stainless steel flat-tipped chopsticks. Both Chinese and Japanese have the habit of eating from their rice bowls, but Koreans regard this behavior as irregular. And you can't touch the rice bowl with your mouth. The bowl with a round bottom and lid "sits" on the table, with no handle for you to hold it. Combined with the heat transferred from the rice to the bowl, it makes sense not to touch it. As for the bowl lid, you can take it off and place it on the table at will.

Since you are not holding the bowl, your left hand must be obedient and hidden under the table. You must not "show your hand" on the table. You must first pick up the spoon with your right hand, take a sip of soup from the kimchi and finish it, then use the spoon to eat a sip of rice, then take another sip of soup and another sip of rice, and then you can eat whatever you want. This is the order in which Koreans eat. The spoon is more important than chopsticks in Korean people's eating life. It is responsible for serving soup, scooping out vegetables from the soup, and loading rice. It should be placed on a rice bowl or other eating utensils when not in use. And what about chopsticks? It is only responsible for picking up food. No matter how hard you use a spoon to scoop out the bean sprouts in your soup bowl, you can't use chopsticks either. This is first of all a matter of eating etiquette, and secondly, the soup may flow down the chopsticks and onto the table. When the chopsticks are not being used to pick up food, the traditional Korean method is to place the chopsticks on the table in the right-hand direction. The two chopsticks should be brought together, with two-thirds on the table and one-third outside the table. This is easy to hold. Get up and use it again.

Korean people are an emotional nation, and they should be fully understood when we express our emotions through dinner parties.

Korean people don’t like even numbers, especially “4”, which they think is an unlucky number. Therefore, the number "4" is strictly prohibited in many building numbers; hospitals and military units must not be numbered with the word "4". When Koreans drink tea or wine, the host always toasts, toasts, and serves dishes in numerical units of 1, 3, 5, and 7, and tries to avoid stopping the cup in even numbers. Koreans do not like to hear people call their country. It is North Korea, because in the minds of Koreans, this term contains the meaning of insult thrown by Japan. Therefore, in front of Koreans, do not mention the word "North Korea", and do not use the capital to refer to Seoul. This term will also It makes Koreans uncomfortable.

Korean people are not used to talking about money in front of others
