Tipping Culture
Tipping is not customary
Tipping is not part of the culture in South Korea and it is not expected. A service charge is included in the final price and there is no need to tip further. If you absolutely want to tip good service, you can try rounding up the bill, leaving lose change, or leaving max. 5-10% on western-style restaurants.
