Before going to number seven, let's learn first about some of the Korean Greeting Manners.

★Koreans generally bow as they greet a person who has a higher status or is older than they are.

★Koreans generally shake hands as they greet a person for the first time.

★Koreans usually bow in their workplace and greet a person who they know well.

★Koreans usually wave when they greet a person who is close to them and/or younger than they are.
