Field notes
Use Korean for courtesy, not negotiation detail
A greeting, thanks, and polite close can build warmth. Use the shared business language for scope, legal terms, numbers, and commitments that must be exact.
Do not invent hierarchy rules
Company culture varies. Observe the host, ask when uncertain, and avoid treating every age or title difference as a fixed ritual.
Before you go
Quick checklist
- Company and name written in Korean if available
- Business cards ready
- Dietary and alcohol preferences stated plainly
