Korean drinking customs The Do's and Don't of Korean drinking customs Giving and Receiving a drink Never pour your own drink When recieving a drink from an elder always use two hands. When pouring a drink for an elder always use two hands. When drinking in front of an elder look away from the elder. Exchanging Soju glasses If someone offers you their glass you must accept it. This is sign of friendship in Korean culture If you are a nondrinker you can ask them to pour you cider(Konglish 7 up) I've seen some people who place a glass below the table to pour all unwanted drinks. Refusing a Drink. If you are a nondrinker If you tell your host either you don't drink for Religious or health reasons. These are generally considered acceptable in Korean culture. Who pays Generally it is the person who did the inviting pays. Otherwise the elder pays. Most Korean hosts will insist on paying. Going Dutch is not common in Korea. Fighting for the Bill Some Koreans will have a playful scuffle and struggle to pull out their Credit cards. If you would like to pay but do not want to engage in this friendly horseplay. Simply pretend to go to the toilet and settle the bill. Your hosts will be pleasently surprised |
Great advice, Fishead. I can't think of anything else... |

Elders clink highter than juniors. Poke tang ju the Korean word for Boilermaker. Simply sink a shot of soju into a beer(San Makju) and down it one shot. Pojam- Makkja Soju tent after hours drinking place in an outdoor tent. |
