Culture

These come courtesy of Michael Koye:

Everyone in Korea addresses each other by their last name (a.k.a. family name), e.g., I would be Mr. Koye. Apparently it is considered rude to call someone by their first name unless you are family or *really* good friends. Even the co-workers here that seem to get along well call each other by last name only. Additionally, they will call you by your last name, unless/until you say it is okay to use your first name; regardless you should still use their last name pretty much all the time.

They actually don't use "Mr." over here; they use the job title instead, for example Mr. Jin's job title is Advisory (seems similar to Chief engineer at Honeywell). The Korean word for Advisory is Cha-Jang, so people refer to him as Jin Cha-Jang. It gets even more complicated than that though. If you are younger, you have to attach "Nim", so younger people call him Jin Cha-Jang-Nim, and older people or his boss say Jin Cha-Jang. The Koreans realize that is way too complicated for most Americans to remember, so they let us just say "Mr. Jin". Anyway, just some interesting facts that are useful when dealing with the Koreans.
