Instead of naming 3, I have provided you with a link so that you may click-on any link within that may interest you.

There are customs for everything; for not knowing what subject you are interested in, such as eating customs, clothing customs, living customs, etc., this makes it somewhat difficult to answer with only three.

Perhaps you'll find the 3 within the subject area you seek within the link I provided for you.

In 2003-2004 I lived in Youngsan Korea for a year in the US Army. To deal with koreans you need to know a little about them Here are some facts:
They are very tuchy, they realy care about personal space like we do.
When walking down a street they wont move for you, so move or be hit. AND wach out for the motorbikes on the sidewalk.
Most Koreans are nice.
Koreans love poeple with blonde hair
You call an old korean ladie an ojima and a old man odishy

1- i'm not sure if they do this but i heard that until the oldest person at the table picks up his/her chopsticks/spoons the younger people cannont touch their food or something o.o

ahh i don't know the rest >< lol wut about peppero day? =]

-Their "funny" is like doing dramatically weird stuff, especially in their comedy movies.
-They can't survive without kimchi?
-They are crazy when it comes to being a fan.
-Like if a korean went to harvard, probably all of Korea would know.
-Guns are completely illegal there and therefore mafias or gangs carry knives of bats... and supposedly there's alot of gangs around korea or i might be out of date because there might not be as many today. i don't know how this has to do with customs but i just thought of it for some reason.
-You have to bow your head everytime you meet another korean you know (unless their friends).
-always end a sentence with "yo" when speaking formally like to an adult
-korean old ladies or "ajumas" are supposedly brutal and intimidating, especially when you look around in their shop for a while and dont buy anything, they will force/threaten you to buy something. Again, i just heard this from my mom so this might be out of date too.
-teachers hit students (both guys and girls) for being late, dissing the teacher, being stupid etc., .
~yay this wasfun :p

I just read the other comments and i want to add that i am korean but i talk alot to my family, so that disproves one point?
