Doing Business in South Korea
|
| MEETING and NEGOTIATING
OVER MEALS |
Dining in Korea is very important since, as
mentioned earlier, most business meetings are held over breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Make
sure to leave your shoes at the entrance of the restaurant pointed away from the building.

Use chopsticks when eating and when finished,
set these on the table or on the rest provided. Do not place your chopsticks on top of
your bowl because it is considered bad luck and sticking these on top of rice is an insult
since that is how offerings are made to ancestors. If drinking is involved, do not finish
your drink if you do not want a refill because it will be automatically filled by your
host. Offer to fill your host’s drink in case you they have finished theirs.
