Here’s a list of things Koreans regularly do that are considered bad manners in the West.
1. Chew food with mouth open.
2. Slurp soup.
3. Cough and sneeze without covering mouth/nose.
4. Ask people their age…especially as soon as you meet.
5. Assume that foreigners don’t speak Korean and talk about them within earshot.
6. Cutting lines. Shoving in crowds.
7. Point out perceived flaws about peoples’ appearance (pimples, weight, etc.).
8. Taking photos of people (particularly of non-Koreans) without permission.
