Q.
Like touching someone’s head in Thailand, are there any actions that are considered offensive in your country?
A.
In South Korea, people don’t write someone’s name in red ink. It is considered very offensive and unlucky. In addition, young people don’t sit on seats that belong to their elderly. A lot of South Koreans still have a very Confucian mindset and they have a high respect for the elderly. In subways, you will hardly ever see a younger person sitting on the seats reserved for the elderly, even when the train is crammed.
