Smooching is a Big No-No
You’ve just started dating your significant other. Everything is new and exciting; the electricity between you is undeniable, and you can’t keep your hands off each other. You begin kissing in public while someone should “Get a room!” at the pair of you. Public displays of affection are accepted in South Korea among lovers, but no kissing in public is permitted.
That’s correct. In South Korea, hold your partner’s hand and wrap your arm around them in public, but wait until you’re alone at home to kiss. Older generations strongly disapproved of this behavior and considered it incredibly immodest in public.
