South Korea is known as the "state of etiquette", and Koreans attach great importance to their proper etiquette in communication. Traditionally, the relationship between family members in South Korea is not only to safeguard their own interests, but also covers a wide range. The blood relationship between them should be based on a tradition of cooperation and mutual support, so the feelings, love and sense of responsibility between family members are very strong and cannot be cut off. The head of a family is regarded as an authority, and the whole family must obey his orders or obey his wishes. Strict orders must be obeyed and not violated. For Koreans, it is unthinkable that children or grandchildren will not obey the wishes of their elders.

Every year, on the first day of the first lunar month, after the family holds routine ancestor worship activities, all members should kneel and salute their grandparents, parents, brothers and relatives in order of age; Young people even go to the village to salute their elders to show their due respect, even though they are not related by blood. In the family, keep the seniority, and don't allow young members or people with low status to drink or smoke in front of the elderly or people with high status. Those who break the rules are regarded as a sign of lack of education, especially in smoking, which may lead to severe condemnation. Children should say goodbye to their parents when they go out; When parents come back from a long trip, their children should greet and salute; When a guest visits, parents bow to the guest first, and then the children bow to the guest according to their age. ...

Clan members have the same money and property. They get together once a year and take this opportunity to discuss, for example, the maintenance of ancestral graves. When Koreans meet for the first time, people with the same surname always ask each other if they are of the same clan. If they are from the same clan, they should also consult the genealogy to understand the intimacy of the other party's relationship with themselves. If the other person is an elder, he will often visit and use honorific terms to show respect.

In traditional Korean society, the elderly are respected for their knowledge and experience, and young people must consciously follow this in their behavior. In public gatherings, social occasions, banquet hotels, who should pay tribute to whom first, who should sit in which position, who should sit first, and who should toast to whom first, these rules are known to everyone from an early age and will not be confused, otherwise they will be considered vulgar and lack of family education.
