술자리에서 윗사람 앞에서는 왜 고개를 돌리고 마시나요? > 음식/식사 예절

Hello! Our friend! 😊 Are you curious about Korean drinking culture? 🍻 This is one of the cultures that foreign friends find most surprising when they first come to Korea! I'll explain it very easily and sweetly. ✨

In Korea ‘etiquette’is really important. Especially when drinking with adults or superiors, people do these special things to show respect for each other. I've summarized a few reasons why! 👇

• Expression of respect towards the other person: It is considered a bit rude to drink with your glass straight in front of your superiors. Turning your head slightly to the side 'I respect you'is a Korean etiquette with a deep meaning. 🙏
• Attitude of humility: I didn’t think it was polite to show me drinking from a glass right in front of me. So, turn your head to cover the glass and drink. Humble attitudeis a way to show ! 😉
• Distance in public relations: It is standard in Korean culture to be formal in front of superiors, no matter how close you are. Every little action like this affects the other person. 'I am honoring you'. 👔

At first, turning your head and drinking can be unfamiliar and awkward! However, this culture allows Koreans to 'affection'and 'Courtesy'It’s also a very warm habit that shows how much you value it. 🥰

Now, if you have a drinking party in Korea, don’t worry! Koreans will be really touched and happy to see our friend trying to be polite like this. 💖 If you have any more questions, please ask anytime! Because we are really close friends! 🥂✨
