quicc tips in korean etiquette for people that are going to a fanmeet
some quicc tips for lucky kboos going to meet their bias/es and want tips on korean etiquette
not trying to be salty, just a post for people who want to get it right for their biases
if you’re going to go in for a handshake, offer your right hand, and lightly brace your right arm with your left hand (placed against the inside of your arm, in the middle of your wrist and elbow). when they take your hand, either quickly nod or bow at a 30 ish degree angle.
keep your head down while you shake and stand up straight after the handshake disengages. you can say a greeting before, during or after, doesn’t really matter, but people usually say a quick “anneonghaseyo” before
pls do not just drop a gift in front of them :’(((((( hold it with both hands and bow slightly when you hold it out to them. they will probably take it while bowing slightly as well and you can let go as soon as they have a grip on it. stand up straight right after.
plssssss do not call someone “oppa” or “unnie” if they are not at least born in the year before you, it’s super awkward for e v e r y o n e involved
if they are born in the same year or after you, it’s probably best to still use formal language, you just don’t have to use honorifics
if they’re handing something back to you, do the slight nod/bow and receive with either both hands or the right hand w/ left hand brace, then stand up straight after they let go
if you’re sitting down, stand up still facing them, and do the slight nod/bow, then say your farewell, and step back, then you can turn to leave. same thing if you’re standing, minus the standing up part.
