Business Etiquette
Business meetings conducted in South Korea are formal affairs; therefore it is essential to wear appropriate attire such as a suit and tie. The exchange of business cards is also expected: when giving or receiving these, visitors should remember to use their right hand. Common courtesy dictates that appointments be made for meetings and that these start on time. Most of the country’s highly educated business people speak English and are happy to conduct meetings in this language. Business hours usually are 0900-1800 Monday-Friday and 0900-1300 on Saturdays.
