술자리 고개 돌리기 & 두 손으로 잔 받기 에티켓

The Struggle: At a team dinner, an elder colleague pours soju for you. Do you drink it facing them directly? How do you hold your glass when receiving alcohol?

The Secret: 3 Essential K-Drinking Manners: 1) Hold your glass with **both hands** when receiving soju, 2) Turn your head **45 degrees away** from elders when taking a sip, 3) Clink your glass rim **slightly lower** than theirs out of respect.

Textbook Way: Stares directly into boss's eyes while drinking with one hand.
