Koreans will often ask you "Do you like Kim Chi?" To avoid a problem, just say "Yes, I like it", saying no is like an assault on Korea's character.
If you teach in a public school, you are now on the schools volleyball team. Korean teachers are crazy and passionate volleyball players. Public schools will play against other public schools in league games.
If your on a crowded bus or subway and have a big bag/box, some Korean might try to grab your box. Don't freak out, they will put it in their lap if they have a seat and you don't. When you leave, they will hand it back to you.
If you go to a cafe/store/bar often, you might hear "Service" that means you will get something free because you are a good customer. They do not want a tip, its just recognition of your importance to them.
It's rude to blow your nose in public but its not rude to cough all over the subway without covering your mouth.
Taxi's are generally very honest(Quite a rarity in other countries).
