No tipping

Why

Service is included in the price; tipping isn't part of Korean custom.

Do

• Pay the listed price — that's it.
• Thank staff in words instead.

Avoid

• Don't leave cash on the table — staff may chase you to return it.
• Don't insist if they refuse a tip.

Useful sentence

These are general customs; people, generations and situations vary — kindness covers most mistakes.
