Koreans are modest people. Expatriates are expected to behave differently; however, it is suggested they also be polite and humble, and show interest and respect for the country's traditions. Unlike other Asian cultures, Koreans are more likely to accept foreign acquaintances. However, they do expect to be treated with courtesy.

South Korea is extremely work-oriented; the people are hard working and industrious. Traditional Korean companies still operate under a subordinate system, depending on the highest-ranked employee (or senior by age) to make the decisions and the group to carry out the plans. Young Koreans and expatriates will find work in Korea to be less team-oriented than in western cultures.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete South Korea guide.
