hug you right back!

if you've ever been to seoul, you'd know they operate in numbers. but if you havent, don't be surprised! common sights are huge groups of colleagues lumbering into restaurants, large extended families sleeping together at jijimbangs, or simply just friends jostling around on the streets. the thing about koreans is, they are rarely alone. and they don't expect you to be, either!

from discussing the korean notion of a family, to introducing the typical forms of addressing one another, this feature will attempt to explain why they can brush against you like hooligans on the metro platform, yet turn around to hug you the next moment!
