Korean Subway Etiquette describes the rules that must be followed to use the subway more comfortably with other passengers when using the subway.

These rules aim to emphasize courtesy and consideration in the subway.

It is essential for using the subway that everyone can enjoy a good experience.

First, at the entrance to the subway, do not stand in front of the door, but wait in the queue. If you wait at the exit before the subway door opens, other users may not be able to enter and exit smoothly, causing inconvenience. Like me, I ride the subway every day, and when I see people standing at the exit, I want to sob. (I have to get down... ㅜ The door is closed...)

Second, don't talk loudly or act noisy in the subway. Even when using a mobile phone, it is better to turn down the volume or text instead of calling for the comfort of others.

Thirdly, we must give up our seats on the subway and be considerate of each other. Pregnant women, children, the elderly, and the disabled must be given priority seating, and in particular, they must stand up for other passengers in priority seating areas.

Fourth, you must throw garbage in the trash can in the subway. Throwing garbage inside a subway train or at a station causes inconvenience to other users and contaminates the facility. I saw on the news somewhere that littering on trains can be fined. That's how important it is.

Finally, on subway trains, you must properly manage your luggage or bags. Carrying excessive luggage or bags on board can cause inconvenience to other users, so it is better to ride with only luggage of the appropriate size and weight. If you have a lot of luggage, it would be a good idea to use a relatively quiet time slot. And always pack your backpack forward!

These Korean subway etiquettes are the basic rules that everyone should follow when using the subway together, and you should try to make a good impression and enjoy using the subway with others.

Foreigners stand out more, so let's follow these etiquettes and set an example!!
