I love culture, thank you so much for teaching, here in Latin America we shake hands, a kiss on the cheek and we even hugged, greetings from Chiapas, Mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Definitely going with the gangster greeting from now on.🙂
🤣🤣
Thank you for this! I just made a new friend, and my friend's mother, who I've had the pleasure of meeting once so far is from South Korea. I will be sure to greet her properly like this the next time I see her!! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, have a good time!
very useful! I have learnt the Japanese bow and I did not know they were different! I will now know for when I go to Korea
감사합니당~~
재밌게 봐주셔서 고맙습니다!
감사합니다!! 💗
Thank you! We have 3 Korean students who just began school where I work. I want them to feel welcome as they speak no english. This was very helpful.
I'm so glad this video helped you!
한국에서 30년 넘게 살았는데 두손을 모으는 인사법을 써본적이 없습니다... 동양인에 대한 이미지때문에 서양인들이 자주하는것 같아요
Muchas gracias por la información Hoon. Siempre es bueno aprender de otras culturas. Saludos desde México.
Gracias por tu comentario!
정말 감사합니다! I'm glad to learn this, because it's become a habit from yoga classes to bow to classmates and teacher at the end with your hands together for namaste, and I would hate to make that mistake with Korean friends!
Thank you for your comment!
Thank you, I have come to Korea from India, this video is quite helpful for me
You are so lucky damn😂

@@anary6608 hi
I want everyone to greet me like this 3:02
Learning this so I can write an accurate Hueningkia fanfic haha
Just as Europe is not one country, Asia is also countries with completely different cultures. In Korea, people do not greet each other by spreading their hands out in front and putting them together. The greeting in the video is a Korean greeting.
Так здорово! Спасибо за ваше подробное видео!! Теперь я узнала как правильно здороваться в Корее!
Спасибо за ваш комментарий!
This was wonderful. Very clear and understood. Now I have to really study and practice.
Thank you for your comment!
감사합니다 드디어 내년에 갑니다! 나는 3년 동안 한국어를 공부했어
축하합니다, 한국에서 즐거운 시간 되시기를 바랍니다! 나의 영상들이 당신의 여행과 문화 체험에 작은 도움이 되기를 바랍니다.
I am an American. We have a gas station I attend daily ,and are owned by Koreans. I love those people ,very nice. I want to show respect to the elder woman who gives my kids candy . Thank you for the tip as I do try to show the up most respect to them by bowing ,but I did have my hands together ,thank you as I would never want to dis respect any culture especially when they give the same love and respect back . Thanks again for friend ,any tips would greatly be appreciated
Thank you for enjoying my video! Generally, when expressing politeness or respect, there is a way by bowing more deeply and more slowly your neck (or sometimes your waist). But as in America, gifts, daily greetings, and small talk are also nice ways I think, because these things are not common to Koreans.
this video helped a lot! I'll travel when I graduate and im very interested in Korean culture, now hopefully I wont greet wrong or be rude accidentally 👍
Thank you for your comment :)
Indian and Korean culture are very respectful!❤❤❤ Namaste 🙏
Thank you for your comment and welcome to Hoontamin! 😊
Thanks for Korean tutorial
Love from Philippines and Thailand
Thank you, Broseph!!
I will use the Korean bow greeting to my Korean colleague and especially when I have my vacation in South Korea. 😀
Have a nice vacation in Korea!
Just yesterday I awarded a life time achievement award to my Korean colleague. His wife bowed very low many times through out the evening. I had bought her flowers, because she too was part of her husbands success. She took me a side several times, thanking me, and continued deep bows. I'm American and served in Korea years ago but had never had this happen to me until later in life. I felt deeply honored. The bow was at least 45 degrees, slow down and slow up. I simply bowed back about 15 degrees and didn't know how to respond but knew I should bow too.. I must have done something right I made a new friend it seemed.
Through these ways, I hope the relationship between you and your colleagues will become better!
Thank you. Appreciate the knowledge offered.
You're welcome!
Thank you 💜
🎉wow thank you Sir i have learned so many Korean "words" but not this kind... no one had ever explain how to greet/meet or thank others...like you do. Thank you😊😊thank you😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your comment, enjoy my other videos!
@@hoontamin yeah no worries... that's why I've subscribed... 😁😁😁
I'm Korean. The greeting that we hold together is mainly from Buddhist countries such as Thailand. Of course, Koreans also have Buddhists, but Korea is not a religious country. Koreans rarely greet each other with their hands together unless they believe in the same Buddhism. No religion reigns over nationalism because Koreans are a nationalist country. And these days, the number of religious people in Korea is decreasing. And Koreans often shake hands.
좋은 설명 고맙습니다~!
thank you a lot!!! i live in germany and i will go to taekwondo training today for the first time and didn´t know how to correctly greet the (korean) 사범 😅😅
Sehr gut! 나의 영상이 도움이 되었다니 기쁩니다! 태권도 도장에서 즐거운 문화 교류의 기회가 있기를 바랍니다 :)
love the gangsta greeting 🤣
🤣🤣
Thank you for this!

I held out my two hands and shook hands. I think I bothered the other person without knowing. I realized this was a little wrong theoretically. I learned that there is a close greeting though.
I laughed a lot about the gangster salute.
please dont mind me !!
if you and me get marrie.!
would you change your surname to mine ?
its almost same.
:) :)

Danke! Der Gangstergruß war gut, den hab ich öfters in Mangas gesehen ;)
Man kann den koreanischen Gangstergruß problemlos in K-Dramen oder Webtoons sehen, da er zu einer humorvollen Sache geworden ist ;D
I live in Denmark, in a boarding school and 20 students from Korea are coming and staying for a week, so I want to greet them respectfully and in a way they are used to, so I am very thankful for your video. But I want to ask, can you do the greeting while sitting down or is it only while sitting down?
Welcome to Hoontamin! If the opponent is friendly or you are a little older, you can nod lightly or shake your hand when you were sitting. If you want to show your respect, then you stand up and greet.
Thanks
Thank you very much!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the informative video! One question though: should I also close my eyes when bowing? Or look down slightly?
It doesn't matter, it's up to your convenience!
I don't think you added what to SAY unless I missed it...Were going tpo Korea next week and it would be good to know. Thx!
Guten Tag Hans...;-) As a German in Korea this got me.
Welcome to Hoontamin!
The 'oriental geeting' as known in the west is a Thai thing
Watching this before my first ever k-pop concert and fanmeet
Have a nice time!
@@hoontamin I did
Thanks for the clarification. I've also heard it's polite for a foreigner woman, like myself, to offer my hand to shake. Is that correct? Or is just a slight neck bend enough?
Both ways are fine. If you want to show friendly, it's good to shake hands.
I miss Asia so much.
Omg ty
서양인이 한국에서 합장하는거 너무 짜증남. 잘 모르고 하는 것이니까 이해는 하는데 뭔가 오리엔탈리즘으로 가득 찬 것처럼 보임.
Hy guys what the hell is a gangster greeting 😄
Thank you
Luv for tamil nadu India
Some Samsung representatives are coming to my work next week. Is it a pretentious move to greet them with a bow or would it be a good thing?
It would be a good thing I think! I hope the positive conclusion :)
I've never thought of Koreans having gangsters only Japan
Every country has gangsters lmao, as a korean gangsters are meant to be avoided like hell
한국에는 야쿠자같은 거대한 갱스터 그룹이 없어요. 1990년대에 군대와 경찰이 대부분 진압했어요.
I am contacting a Korean Church for my final research project for college. Is this video accurate??? We all live in California.
Accurate because my videos (including travel, food, etc) are mostly based on facts and official sources. Of course some people may do or think differently, but they can't represent the whole.
Can you explain why you hold your right wrist with your left hand during the handshake?
Mainly to show politeness, many people do that.
@@hoontamin Is there any origin of it's politeness? We use this handshake in my taekwondo dojang
@@thehoodie7740 The origin of the greeting can't be found because the handshake is a Western greeting. But using both hands is an Eastern, especially Korean way to express politeness. I think it's mixed.
@@hoontamin thank you for the answer
Sir, please teach IVE to how etiquette when they were greeting other peopl
I didn't understand what you said, please let me know what do you want to know more exactly :)
So when greeting a person I work with or stranger that you meet for example landlord how may I greet them as we meet every week.
As Koreans do, everyday, just lightly.
If you have to meet several times a day, a light bowing is fine.
Placing hands together is Thai culture
how to say "good morning teacher" in korean?
안녕하세요 선생님 (Annyeonghaseyo seonsaengnim), or 좋은 아침이에요 선생님 (Joeun achimiyeyo seonsaengnim)
You can 'Annyeonghaseyo' anytime, and 'good morning' is closer to 'Joeun achim-ieyo' or 'Joeun achim-ipnida'.
선생 means a teacher, it can be written in English 'seonsaeng', but the pronunciation is similar with 'sunseng'.
When you talk to other people you don't know or older than you, it's good to add 'nim' at the end.
@@hoontamin thank youu!!!
How would you properly and respectfully greet people if your yourself are a monk?
Of course they put their hands flat together and greet because they are monks.
@@hoontamin thank you for this very useful information. But is this in general? I am not a Buddhist monk but a Hermetic Monk. When I travel to SK I’d still very much want to follow respectful/proper protocol.
Your welcome. That greeting ways are general, and monks put their hands flat together especially, and also some Buddhist people do that in temples. But actually the ways aren't so important in Korea because each one's real attitude is regarded as more important.
When you visit Korea, I hope you experience various Korean aspects. It will be not hard but interesting I think.
@@hoontamin I thank you again. 🙏🏻 Your videos have been very informative and helpful. As I try to educate myself as much as possible so as to be most respectful to the Korean Culture. I cannot wait to visit and experience such a beautiful place so rich in history and culture. Being a man in his 50s who is also a practicing Monk, but not Buddhist, I was unsure how to navigate properly. So thank you again for such great content! I’m sure to like and subscribe!! 🙇♂️ 🙂
Hi! I am meeting my Korean host family tomorrow! How should I Greet them? I am really nervous!!
Don't worry, watch this video enough, and just greet them with your heart!
Lol I've never had anyone greet me with "What the hell!"
I should have watched this before seeing my patient . He called me arrogant and cocky for not bowing. This is in california lol
Oh my god😅
How do you greet people if you yourself are a monk?
🙏: monk's greeting
Thank you so much..
And how do koreans greet their mother and father?? Is it same like this?? But I have seen a different way in kdramas.
Hello! It's almost same like this, but can be different. It depends on their relationship with their parents.
@@hoontamin ooh, thank you so much for replying.
I am learning more about korea and korean culture through your contents.. luv to come to korea one day. 💜 감사합니다.
*ya canım abim ya ben Kore'ye aşık bir Türk'üm :)*
Hoontamin'e hoş geldiniz!
남녀 별 차이 없어요.....오른손 왼손 상관 없습니다
절할때 하는 공수에만 손 위치 있고 평상시엔 상관없죠ㅎ
정확하게는 남자는 왼손이 앞쪽에 오는 것이 맞습니다만, 많은 사람들이 모르는 경우가 많아요
@@kimkyeongeob 아니 절할때 말하는게 아니라 평상시에 그 누구도 신경쓰지 않으니까요^^
can you show an example about how to bow as a woman
We should have made that video, but we didn't! Instead I recommend this video! czcams.com/video/yT7kgQiMUeU/video.html
Helpful omg ty subbed andnliked
Omg ty for liking 💙💙💙
Proper way to do kunjeol? ☺️
Oh, this is a very interesting question! I hope I can make a video about it soon :)
Hi Guys! What the hell!!
😂😂
What is the man
맞아 제발 저놈의 합장좀 하지마라 내가스님도 아니고
Korean old ladies are extremely loud speaking in the restaurant. That’s nightmare for everyone
I hate shakings hands though , hope Koreans don't hate me.
No problem, shaking hand is a Western culture, and it's just one of the many greetings in Korea!
just being non-binary and trying to use the right hand placement is hard, no worries the arms buy your sides will do!
what does being non-binary have to do with these greetings?
Odd as I have seen BtS members green the second way with their hands on their thighs
손은 좀 아니고 걍 목만 까딱하면됨
일부 개념 없는 연예인들 때문이죠.
Different styles but still *Korea* *japan* *china* seems us same 😅
It's very annoying for them being confussed with other cultures. It's like being very racist and rude. We should tell occidental people that doesn't know anything about them that Korean, Japanese and Chinese culture are quite different. Even dragons, which are common mythological creatures have many differences among Korea, Japan and China.
Omg how can you think korea,japan,and china are the same??! What makes you think the same its clearly different why does everyone keep saying that ughh
@@melanieswife13 Right?!🤦🏽♀️ Ignorance is bliss. How sad not to see the differences especially when it’s pointed out. He must live in a bubble ☺️
