“Workers receive fair wage, so tipping is not necessary” Oooohh the burn 🔥 😂 Knew all these things (been watching kdramas for 6 years now 😂) but it’s a good video still 👍
@@vihtoripuurola3775 I work in the hospitality industry & where I am at least, it’s welcome but not expected nor do I feel entitled to it IMO one shouldn’t feel like he is owed a tip & when given it should be seen as a “reward” for providing especially good service
1. No touching, high five is ok 2. Use both hands when giving & receiving to show respect 3. No small talk & eye contact (considered as rude) 4. If u wanna try to make friends is ok just be polite and accept a NO 5. Don’t bring coffee without lid on the bus 6. Don’t sit on the reserved seats for elderly or pregnant women 7. Stay on the right side 8. Don’t worry about tattoos 9. Go to the counter to the pay, don’t wait for ur bills 10. No tipping culture 11. Don’t smoke on the street, do it at smoking area only
We've experienced it all. Loved Korea, but the smoking was a bit shock for my husband ... you walk on the main street, turn into small shady alley and there are hiding tons of people with cigarettes :D We saw true face of Korea and made a lot of friends! Also my husband was laughing, that my reading is like from primary school and my spoken is like 10 years old, but then he was grateful when we got lost, that we could read directions or I could ask for a direction ... and now I saw him watching for flight tickets back around cherry blossom time :D
I am really grateful for your video! I loved it, as I love your culture. I believe I will be visiting Korea next year (very excited about it) and your recommendations come very handy! Thank you so much!
Thank you for these reminders. Less than 3 weeks before my first visit. I am pleased that tipping is not required or expected. People should receive a fair wage for their work. I personally find tipping demeaning to the person receiving it. It feels like I am saying I am better than them or they are my servant.
I am the opposite. I think that even though tipping in the US is expected and needed, tipping also shows your appreciation of the hard work and effort and quite often, their helpful and pleasing personalities.
that great Usefull for me.last yr I came seoul.met some korean facebook friend in reallife,but I dont know I was happy when met them and I hug them very tight,hihihihi
This just came up as a recommendation and thanks so much for these tips, I'm flying to Seoul next week so being reminded of some of these is really helpful!
Thank you, I plan to travel there sometime in the future and it’s good to understand Korean culture. I believe being respectful to the people of the country you visit is important.
Thank you, good manners should be universal. But sadly not as good by some, as they should be. If you are travelling abroad, you find videos like this to get an idea of what to do. 😊👍 I like the keep to the right culture on stairs and walkways. I’m an 🇦🇺and we supposedly keep to the left, because that is the side of the road we also drive on. Sadly people don’t always conform.
Sounds natural to me, these are universal rules. I live in Europe and the attitude is getting worse and worse, especially below 40 years of age. The rudeness is unacceptable but nobody tries to make it right.
Which country in Europe considers touching female friend or family on shoulder when taking photo in public impolite, and no hugging friends or family in public????
This is your first video I have seen. So happy I found you. Your English is great. I understand you and you have touched on alot of things about your great culture in Korea. I look forward to learning more from you. I will be visiting South Korea next year for 3 weeks, so I need to learn alot! Thank you my new friend! Hello from the USA
Although I never expect to travel anymore, it is so interesting to learn about customs of other countries. I like how you get straight to the point with easy to understand information. Great Job.
Thanks for taking the time to post. Tourists, I know, can be so mindless, at times. The points that you mentioned are almost identical to Canada -- except with tips. Nowadays, tips are almost expected everywhere. It's an awful culture that's creeping in. The other thing is using both hands. Definately, next time I go to my favorite Korean restaurant, I will use both hands to hand over money.
In my country both hands are for when you’re younger than the other. If you’re older, you don’t do it (unless your status/title is lower and you want to show respect). He didn’t mention it in his video, but I think it the same in Korea based on a handful of K dramas I watched.
Tourists are not mindless, they are just humans who are well accustomed to their culture and don’t have the time to read or see videos before. It’s neither a bad or good thing, it doesn’t mean they are bad humans. They just don’t know
Most of the rules you mentioned i applaud. I dislike being touched and hugged unless its family or i know the person very well. The others are just things i would normaly do or not, depending on what is common courtesy. The only thing new for me is the walk on one side thing. The both hands im familiar with. My mom was half black and i was taught to receive anything with both hands, so no biggie.
Many of the rules that you have mentioned are similar in India too that's why Indians love south korea, In our culture too we used to sit down on ground to eat our meals and are also taught to be respectful & caring towards elders and kids☮️🇮🇳🤍
This was perfect, respect is vital in all aspects of life. I'm actually covered in tattoos so what you explained was really reassuring. Thank you for that.
Honestly the most diff were avoid eyes contact bcos i am used to it, in our culture is this one of the most important communication methid. And 2nd one is using both hands. If u r not used to then it cant be change in 1-2 weeks - mounth your mind. Nice video, thx for share it.
Thank you, it is very helpful. 👍 I like your videos 😊. I will try to keep that in mind. I would love to visit Korea ! Keep up the good work. Greetings from Ireland ! 🥰🥰🥰🙋♀️
Omg when i went in Korea first time in 2021 in Gangham and i have met my nowadays husband (he's korean from Seoul), when we met in the Noraebang he came close to me and when i told him i was Italian he hugged me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷♀🤷♀🤷♀🤷♀🤷♀🤷♀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 saying he loved Italy and especially my country Rome, i don't think all Koreans the same everyone is different and has his own personality. Probably the most Conservative people are like you say, but not all are the same!! Thanks for explanation 🫰🫰🫰🫰
You totally missed the point. When you visit someone’s country, you have to adapt to their culture not the other way around. The entire country is not going to change for your visit. If you don’t have basic manners, and you’re offended by a video trying to tell you how to have a more enjoyable time, just stay home. Trips are expensive. You can be petty and miserable at home for free! Kdramas bring tourist to Seoul. They are already use to foreigners, so you shouldn’t have any problems. Shoving in crowds and zero personal space on the subway when it’s crowded took some getting used to. I lived in Korea for two years. I absolutely loved it!
I like the rules, very educative! We should learn from Asian ethical culture. I have been i Korea three times fo a while and I like the people. I am sad that the rich companies like everywhere else exploit young people and keep them in spiritual ignorence.
Thank you for your video. It’s very informative and helpful… I am planing on visiting eventually next year. I am pretty curious what Korea and Koreans are really like. 😊 greetings from Europe!
When you said to not expect small talk, I was quite happy because I get really shy.. 😅 But I'm open to making new friends too!! I'll keep this information in mind for when I travel to Korea one day.. Thank you!!
Thank you for the video, always good to be prepared. However when i was in korea many people stared, and kept staring when i looked back. They would then talk to their friends and all stare together and laugh. This happened to my friend as well.
@@BaeTrip_Korea thank you, but it's not your fault. I do have many good memories of my stay there and we did meet some very nice people as well. But it does put me off going back.
As someone who is adopted from Korea I can add many more things to it like not being too loud. I see a lot of foreigners who are very loud in public transport when talking. Also hugging and kissing each other in public. Ps I have some videos on my channel about learning the language as someone who is adopted.
Thank you for the tips. Your English was very easy to understand. I do have a question as I will hopefully be travelling to Korea. When it comes to money is it preferred cash or card?
I just came back from 2 weeks Korea (I live in Holland). It is handy to have dollars to exchange at the airport. And overal I paid with my creditcard. Some places the creditcard did not work. Then I had the cash. Have fun!
I really enjoyed all the information and tips. I won't lie I would love to visit South Korea around Christmas time or to see a BTS concert. I know they come to the US, but it gives me a reason to visit.
@@BaeTrip_Korea That is a great song. I have so many songs to pick from. Although I am OT7, my bias is Kim Taehyung aka BTS V or TaeTae and it was his song Singularity that introduced me to BTS. I was looking for an R&B song and YT recommended that song.
#2 and 4 are a big reason, why I want to move to korea one day. I have never liked physical contact unless it is in a relationship. And small talk is a big weakness of mine and makes me very uncomfortable sometimes😅 #6 "reserved seats". Does "disabled" apply to injured people? For example a broken leg or arm.
Compared to other countries I feel like coffee culture is not that strong in Korea. Coffee shops not opening in the morning is a shocker. In Brazil you can get coffee 24h
No. 7 is related to side of the road where vehicles drive. I am from country that adopts UK system. So when I first arrived at Incheon Airport, I subconsciously stood on the left side of travelator. Luckily I realised the persons in front of me & the side that was left empty for those rushing to go past. Anyway great tips. I went to Seoul just 12 days ago. Wish I had watched this video but luckily I already implemented almost all tips in this video.
I wish avoiding physical contact in the U.Sl was like in Korea. I hate being hugged or worse, kissed, by acquaintances as though they were long lost friends you hadn't seen in years when you just saw them last week. I also hate the glad-handing and passing the peace pipe in American churches nowadays, which is one reason I no longer attend.
I just wanted to clarify something that was a bit unclear to me. If I were in South Korea with my husband and children it sounds as though it is better to avoid public displays of affection, which is fine. It might take a a vit to remember that we can't hug, but we will try if that is considered rude. However the comment about a man putting his hand on woman's waist for a picture is that for us or if we were taking pictures with others? This is me genuinely asking and making sure that I understand my husband's hand shouldn't be on my waist in a picture while in South Korea?
Personally I would love to hear some stories from the elderly such as how it was for them as a child, what was their favorite memories growing up were , and how does the world today live up to what they thought the future was going to look like to them at a younger age and many more things.
@@BaeTrip_Korea Germany. Expecially public transportation is horrible. People are talking really loud, others listen to loud music, talking on the phone with speakers on, sit next to you really closely (skin close) even though there's enough space. Eating and drinking is not allowed on public transport but no one adheres to this. To be honest it got worse in the last years because of world events. Also smoking on streets everywhere, now also viping. Tipping culture. Tattoos are not a problem and the only thing we kind of have here is the escalator thing. But still a lot of people don't get it. Small talk can happen but usually most germans don't do it, if so more likely elders or people with babies.
I’m glad to hear though that South Korea is evolving, because I think people should be. Oregon chil and open. But I do agree with most of the things like going on the right lane (it also goes for other cities like London, NYC and so), no sitting on elderly\pregnant women’s\ disabled seats. I do think that Koreans need to engage more in small talks, we want to know you better :)))) What is catcalling btw? Other than that I love youuuu South Korea
Koreans have formal and informal ways of speaking. Anyone of higher rank or age is to be spoken to using formal language. As a foreigner, how do we respect expected formality if we don’t speak Korean?
3:01 Is this really a rule? I've lived in Korea for a few years now and I don't really see people keeping to the right. One of the first things I noticed when coming to Korea is how even though at the crosswalks there are arrows showing which side people should stay to when walking people just walk wherever. Also 0:23, "skinship" isn't really a thing said by most native speakers, I'd say most don't know what it means, although they might infer by context. It's an example of "English" that only exists in Korean (or Japanese) which there is surprisingly a lot of. Just thought you oughta know.
A lot of Koreans engaged in small talk with me when I traveled in 2019. An elderly man was talking to me about baseball while on the train to Busan, but I couldn’t speak Korean because I only watched kdramas. 😂 So I just nodded.

Knew all these things (been watching kdramas for 6 years now 😂) but it’s a good video still 👍
We're finding here in Seattle that even with a fair wage folks still want 25% tips on top of that.

I wish we had the same rules/manners in my country.
What is your country?!
@@BaeTrip_Korea Germany. Expecially public transportation is horrible. People are talking really loud, others listen to loud music, talking on the phone with speakers on, sit next to you really closely (skin close) even though there's enough space. Eating and drinking is not allowed on public transport but no one adheres to this. To be honest it got worse in the last years because of world events.
Also smoking on streets everywhere, now also viping. Tipping culture.
Tattoos are not a problem and the only thing we kind of have here is the escalator thing. But still a lot of people don't get it. Small talk can happen but usually most germans don't do it, if so more likely elders or people with babies.
No. 6 is just good manners tbh. In the U.S we can't have open drink containers on our busses and subways either.
Oh thank you :)
I’m glad to hear though that South Korea is evolving, because I think people should be. Oregon chil and open. But I do agree with most of the things like going on the right lane (it also goes for other cities like London, NYC and so), no sitting on elderly\pregnant women’s\ disabled seats. I do think that Koreans need to engage more in small talks, we want to know you better :)))) What is catcalling btw? Other than that I love youuuu South Korea
Thank you so much for enjoying my video. I hope you have great time when you visit Korea!
staying to "THE RIGHT" Is polite everywhere .........people are jus rude EVERYWHERE
So,how people in your country treat everyone from different countries
I'm used to Singapore. I guess Korea is the same. 😊
Cool ~~
Koreans have formal and informal ways of speaking. Anyone of higher rank or age is to be spoken to using formal language. As a foreigner, how do we respect expected formality if we don’t speak Korean?
You don't have to worry too much, everyone understands :)
3:01 Is this really a rule? I've lived in Korea for a few years now and I don't really see people keeping to the right. One of the first things I noticed when coming to Korea is how even though at the crosswalks there are arrows showing which side people should stay to when walking people just walk wherever.
Also 0:23, "skinship" isn't really a thing said by most native speakers, I'd say most don't know what it means, although they might infer by context. It's an example of "English" that only exists in Korean (or Japanese) which there is surprisingly a lot of.
Just thought you oughta know.
Every Korean recognize it. But it's not law :)
A lot of Koreans engaged in small talk with me when I traveled in 2019. An elderly man was talking to me about baseball while on the train to Busan, but I couldn’t speak Korean because I only watched kdramas. 😂 So I just nodded.
It England we walk on the left, as you say an unspoken rule
most of thos thinks are big no no in France to
is some exception so...but I think is all about comon sens
Do you have a video about proper clothing in public in Korea?
most of clothes are okay :)
Good timing, I just came to Seoul 😅
Really?! Where will you visit?!
@@BaeTrip_Korea I’m already here! 😄
