Advice for Someone Considering Doing internship in Seoul, South Korea

  1. Tipping isn’t Necessary – Despite the generally good service provided at restaurants, tipping is not required or expected. Cab drivers, hairdressers, porters and bellboys are certainly grateful for tips, but the culture is simply not practiced among Koreans. If you do decide to tip, the amount is entirely up to you.
  2. Gift Equate to Graciousness – The exchange of gifts is an important part of Korean life, both in personal and business relationships, and is closely linked to showing respect, maintaining harmony and being courteous. If you are invited to someone’s home, it is customary to bring a small gift, such as flowers or a bottle of wine, to show your graciousness. Gifts are given with two hands, and are never opened in front of the giver.
  3. There’s no Such Thing as Personal Space – With a population of over 25 million, there is simply no room for personal space in Seoul. As a result, pushing and shoving are not uncommon. If anything, they’re the norm, and not seen as rude gestures. So if you happen to find yourself being elbowed in the subway or pushed while you’re waiting in line for the bathroom, don’t take it personally.
