What is the drinking culture in Korea like?

It might surprise you to hear that South Koreans consume more hard liquor per person than any other country in the world. Therefore, it is very likely that you will encounter its unique drinking culture when moving to South Korea. To make a great impression, it is important to keep a couple of rules of etiquette in mind. Always pour and receive drinks with two hands and never fill your own glass. It is also important to always drink on the first round, especially when someone offers you a drink. If you aren’t big on drinking, don’t let your glass get empty or it will continuously be refilled.
