Chinese and Japanese have the habit of eating with their rice bowls in hand, but Koreans consider this behavior irregular. If you visit a Korean home or have Korean guests present, out of respect, remember that you cannot pick up the rice bowl on the table with your hands, and you cannot directly touch the rice bowl on the table with your mouth. Because in the Korean concept, "If no one is grabbing your food, why are you holding on to the bowl? Are you worried that others will steal your food?" Therefore, you must put the bowl on the table and take a bite with a spoon. Eat one bite at a time, and at this time, the other hand has to be obedient. Since it is not holding the bowl, it should be hidden under the table.

Social etiquette In terms of social etiquette, South Korea generally does not use handshakes as a courtesy when meeting. When shaking hands, use both hands, or use your right hand alone. When a junior or subordinate shakes hands with an elder or superior, after the latter extends his hand, the former must shake hands with his right hand first, and then gently place his left hand on top of the latter's right hand. In Korea, women and children generally do not shake hands with men, but nod or bow as common etiquette. Use honorifics and honorifics when addressing people, and rarely call each other directly by name. If the other party has a status and title in society, Koreans will definitely use it repeatedly.

In social occasions involving clothing, etiquette, and social media, most Koreans can speak English and have no favorable impression of Japanese-speaking people. In Korea, dressing is not too avant-garde and is solemn and conservative. Men usually wear jackets and long trousers, while women generally wear short jackets and chest-length skirts.

Food Etiquette Koreans generally like to eat spicy and sour foods. The staple food is mainly rice and cold noodles. Dishes include kimchi, roast beef, roast dog meat, ginseng chicken, etc. Generally speaking, Korean dishes do not have too many varieties, and most of them are relatively bland. Generally speaking, Korean men have a good drinking capacity and are willing to drink soju, sake, and beer, while most women do not drink alcohol. On weekdays, most Koreans drink tea and coffee. However, Koreans usually do not drink gruel and do not like to drink clear soup. Koreans generally don’t like to eat things that are too oily, too greasy, or too sweet. It’s nothing more than duck, mutton and fatty pork, as well as bear paws and tiger meat. When eating, chopsticks are generally used. For environmental protection, Koreans will provide you with iron tableware. When eating with elders, you are not allowed to use chopsticks first, and you are not allowed to use chopsticks to point at others. After eating, place the chopsticks neatly on the tabletop. It is not appropriate to talk loudly while eating. It is also very embarrassing to make too much noise in your mouth when eating. When having a banquet at a Korean home, the guests and hosts usually sit around a square table with low legs. Sit cross-legged on the floor. In this case, do not touch your feet with your hands, straighten your legs, or spread your legs. This is not allowed.

Customs and taboos Koreans cherish the color white. The national flower is the hibiscus, the pine is the national tree, the magpie is the national bird, and the tiger is the national animal. The taboo numbers are "4" and "13". Since the pronunciation is the same as "death", Koreans should not use similar words such as "private", "teacher" and "thing".
