1. Korean Culture, Etiquette 1 Kimchi is a culture! Korean kimchi is pickled with cabbage, red chili sauce and anchovy paste.

It tastes spicy and sour.

Koreans love kimchi and can’t live without it in every meal.

Kimchi is a symbol of Korean culture: strong, unique and somewhat defiant and provocative.

Some foreign tourists can't stand the taste of kimchi, but if you can eat kimchi, you will win the sincere respect of the locals.

2 Take off your shoes! When you go to a Korean’s home as a guest, you must take off your shoes.

Not taking off your shoes is very rude.

Koreans cannot live without the floor. They sit on the floor and often sleep on the floor.

Koreans cannot tolerate dirty floors at home.

If foreign tourists enter their living rooms wearing shoes, they will think that these Westerners are a group of uncivilized savages.

3. Korean soju! Korea has its own wine culture.

One type of alcohol that everyone drinks heavily is soju.

Korean soju is a clear-colored liquor that tastes like vodka.

Koreans drink soju in small glasses, usually with food.

They drank very lively, clinking glasses frequently and loudly shouting various toasts, and then drank them all in one gulp.

At night, you will often see a group of people stumbling down the street after singing karaoke, laughing, singing and arguing about something.

Koreans also have many rules when it comes to drinking. For example, you must never just pour a drink for yourself, or when you pour a drink for someone older than you, you must put one hand on your heart or the arm that pours the drink.

to show respect.

4 Rice! Like the Japanese, Koreans eat rice with almost every meal.

Rice is also part of their culture.

In Korea, one of the common greetings is "Have you eaten rice today?"

But the difference with the Japanese is that Koreans eat rice with a spoon, and they never pick up a bowl to eat.

Similarly, you can't stick chopsticks in rice, because you can only do this when offering offerings to the deceased. 5. Don't laugh! Koreans are warm-hearted and generous, but you can't tell it in public situations.

This point.

Sometimes, on the streets of Korea, you can see many people with sad faces or stern facial expressions.

However, the exception is the children, who always shout "Hello! Hello!" while grinning.

6. Watch your elbows! Korea is a crowded country.

The terrain is mountainous, with only a few valleys and plains inhabitable.

In a country like this, the results can be imagined.

A large number of people are crowded into a small space, and pushing and shoving is common in order to catch the bus, take the elevator or buy your favorite food at the farmer's market.

You don’t even need to say, “Excuse me,” but keep an eye out for older women.

7 Protest! In order to become a democratic society, Koreans have made many hard efforts.

Now, they often exercise their right to protest and enjoy doing it.

In fact, Koreans protest frequently and with great enthusiasm on all issues in the political field.

8. Hiking! Korea is a mountainous country, so hiking is the best pastime for people across the country.

Even in the most crowded cities, there are several mountains where people can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and gain a moment of peace.

On the mountain, the Koreans also showed their best side.

They smile and say hello to you and often insist on sharing their food and drinks with you.

When passing by a small hotel on the mountain, be sure to go in for a seafood pancake and a glass of rice wine.

9. Dog Meat! Yes, some Koreans do eat dog meat, despite the government’s attempts to shut down some restaurants selling dog meat soup to improve South Korea’s “international image.”

Koreans mainly eat dog meat in the summer, and most of the people who eat dog meat are men.

It is said that eating dog meat can improve energy. 10. Nationalism! Koreans are a very proud people, and sometimes this pride can turn into fanatical nationalism.

You can feel this nationalism when watching some sporting events: thousands of Korean fans cheering for their national team, beating drums and waving flags.

It is not the same for life. For example, Adult Day was scheduled for January 15th before 2000, and then it was changed to the current date (when I talk about this, I think of Xiao Nei again, and I am a little entangled) Autumn Equinox,

Festivals such as the Spring Equinox are similar to our Chinese Qingming Festival. Every November 15th, when boys are 3 and 5 years old and girls are 3 and 7 years old, for the growth of brown children, they are allowed to wear bright clothes.

Wear clothes to visit a shrine.

People think that odd numbers are auspicious numbers, so the ages 7, 5, and 3 are taken from them.
