Korea Etiquette Institute (한국예절문화원)

Korea Etiquette Institute in Seoul is a private cultural institution dedicated to traditional Korean etiquette ("yejeol") — the formalized Confucian-influenced behavioral system that governed pre-modern Korean social interaction across age, gender, and social-status lines. The institute runs short hands-on etiquette classes for foreign visitors covering bowing forms, proper hanbok-wearing technique, traditional Korean tea ceremony etiquette, and basic Korean speech-honorifics introduction. Most classes need reservation. The Institute also operates as a research center on Korean traditional behavioral codes. The visit is most rewarding for foreign visitors who want practical etiquette skills before attending Korean weddings, business meetings, or family events. About 90 minutes for a class.
