ABOUT THE GUIDE

A little preparation. A better introduction.

See hand positions and card orientation in illustrations, then explore action sequences and sample wording for 12 practical situations.

Your language. Your destination.

Explore card exchanges in Korea and the United States in Korean or English. Choose your reading language separately from the country where you are meeting.

Respect before perfect choreography

Etiquette is not a law or a rule that applies to everyone. This guide describes useful practices in common business situations. Adapt to the organization, person, setting, and accessibility needs.

How we prepare the guide

We write from public country guides, etiquette resources and university career guidance. Where practices differ, we avoid presenting one absolute rule. Recovery steps, digital-exchange suggestions and dialogue are original illustrative examples, not reported personal experiences. The hand illustrations were generated with AI and checked for hand count and card placement. Movement is simplified for clarity; the simultaneous-exchange guide offers a practical one-at-a-time alternative.
