Learn Korean - The characteristics of Koreans
People are similar everywhere , but Koreans basically consider courtesy very important
If you are an adult and want to learn about korea, take a closer look at how koreans behave when they first meet
The backgorund of Koreans'culture contains a Confucian spirit
There is a Confucian style of behavoir in many areas , but today i would like to mention the basic behavior when they first meet.
How to act when you meet someone for the first time
Koreans distinguish between older and younger people based on age , So the year of birth is very important
Koreans tend to check each other's ages in advance to break the awkwardness when they first meet
Non-Koreans may think this korean culture is strange , but in korea, it is very natural to ask for age.
However, they do not asking everyone their age
Meaning of asking each other about their age in Korea
To ask each othere's age means that we want to be close
In another sense, to avoid makeing mistakes to each other
If you attend the same school or belong to the same club , you have no choice but to encounter each othere,
but in such a case , it is essential to check each othere's ages.
If you don't know each othere's age well, you should be polite to the othere person in honorifics.
However, speaking formally also means being polite and maintaining an appropriate distance
Even if you are a senior or junior, if you become very close, you can talk each othere while speaking without formally
Therefore , it is basic to be polite to the othere person when someone first meets
And in order to get close to each other, we must quickly get rid of the formalities of honoring each other
Usually, it is common for older people to suggest stopping this formal respect first
You can understand the meaning of this as "Let's be close"
It would be very unique to divide seniors and juniors by age, but i think this is very beneficial in creating order
If you meet a Korean, say 'Annyeong haseyo' while bowing.
They, too, will bow and say 'Annyeong haseyo'
Today, among the characteristics of Koreans, we looked into how they behave when they first meet someone
It might be different depending on the situation, but these are the general characteristics.
