Honk Where Nobody Can Hear
What’s wrong with relieving a stuffy nose? Sure, doing so can make a funny noise sometimes, but have you ever been sincerely grossed out by someone blowing their nose? Well, blowing your nose in public in South Korea is unheard of. Their population considers public nose honking to be disgusting.
You’d probably make this mistake in South Korea, had we not told you about it. If your nose is dripping or stuffed up, the proper etiquette is to go to someone private, like the bathroom to take care of it. Make sure you have plenty of allergy medicine with you so you don’t have to keep running off from your group of friends.
