Body Language Never touch, pat, or backslap a Korean that

is not your relative or close friend.

Never point with your index finger.



First Meetings Best to be introduced by a third party, rather

than introducing yourself

Deal only with someone of equal rank asopposed to someone of lower rank

Exchange of biz cards: use your right handand support your right elbow with your left

hand. Read it carefully and then place it on the table

in front of you.



Business Meetings Make an appointment a few weeks in advance

Schedule: mid-morning (10 AM to 12 PM) or

mid-afternoon (between 2 and 4 PM). Punctuality is important

Cancelled appointments -it may be a signal thatthey don’t really want to do business or need todelay the process for some reason, and you wereexpected to have realized that.

Send written materials some time prior to themeeting.



Eating and Dining Don’t pour your own drink, but offer to pour others' drinks. If you

deny to pour for someone, it will be offensive. Women pour only

men's drinks, and never another woman's drink. A woman can

pour her own drink though.

Wherever you see a "No Tipping" sign, don’t tip. Koreans find

that if you tip, then it will be offensive.

It is polite to pass or accept food or drink with your right hand

while your left hand supports your forearm/wrist.

The person who invites pays the bill for everyone. However, it is

polite to offer to pay. When two people are dining, usually the

younger person pays for the older person.

After dinner, the host may invite his guests to go drinking. Don't

refuse this invitation.
