1. Greeting Many South Koreans shake hands after the bow, thereby blending both cultural styles. The person of lower status bows to the person of higher status, yet it is the most senior person who initiates the handshake. The person who initiates the bow should say, "man-na-suh pan-gop-sumnida", which means "pleased to meet you. " Wait to be introduced at a social gathering. When you leave a social gathering, say good-bye and bow to each person individually.
2. Rules of conversation The style of speech depends on the age and social status of the interlocutor. Koreans show particular attention to elders. Koreans always speaking with a strangers in formal way, even if they are older then them for one year. Koreans are trying to avoid using personal pronouns, referring to the interlocutor by the name plus the "mister" (or "tutor"). In Korea, you can called by the names only close friends, but only if they are younger or the same age as you. Close friends also may call each other "sisteronni" for females and "brotherhyun" for males. Young brother calls older sister or older female friends "noona", like girl calls older brother and friends "oppa". In Korea, you should avoid using gestures. There a lot of gestures in Korean culture and they may be interpreted incorrectly.
3. Gift Giving Gifts express a great deal about a relationship and are always reciprocated. Bring fruit or good quality chocolates or flowers if you was invited to a Korean's home. Gifts should be wrapped nicely. The number 4 is considered unlucky, so gifts should not be given in multiples of 4. Giving 7 of an item is considered lucky. Wrap gifts in red or yellow paper, since these are royal colors. Alternatively, use yellow or pink paper since they denote happiness. Use both hands when offering a gift. Gifts are not opened when received.
4. Physical Contact No touching! Koreans believe that it’s disgrace, if them touch someone else then their close friends or family members. - No hugs - Don't slam anyone on the back - Don't put your hand on someone's shoulder It is absolutely unacceptable to touch older persons and persons of the opposite sex. (Without permission of course) Close friends in Korea of the same sex may walk with holding hands or putting hands on each other shoulders. Foreigners don't have to do the same. Familiar people stand close to each other and go side by side. Very roughly, to make a person walk behind you.
5. Gesture If you are speaking with somebody, keep your hands in plain sight. Hide them behind the back or in the pockets - indecent. There is a purely Korean gesture, showing a good attitude toward you. This is a friendly gesture. Fold hands heart (above the head, for example). Can't to mention the famous gesture in form of two fingers, what named "Peace!". Usually use in front of the camera. Women often cover their face when laughing. For them it is considered indecent to show their teeth. Though, now this gesture is a bit old. In Korea it is not acceptable to call a person with a hand turned up by it's palm or to beckon with finger. Usually dogs are being called this way. If you'd like to call somebody, do it with the palm faced down. It is indecent to point a finger on something or somebody. When a person throws back his head and absorbs air through his teeth it's means "no" or "very difficult".
