सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The use of personal seals (도장) is still very common. When you '{계약|契約}을 하다', you might be asked for your 'In-gam' (registered seal) for important documents like buying property. The 'Gap' (Party A) and 'Eul' (Party B) dynamic is central to Korean contracts. 'Gap' is usually the employer or landlord, and 'Eul' is the employee or tenant. Real estate contracts usually involve three steps: {계약|契約} (Contract), {중도금|中道金} (Middle payment), and {잔금|殘金} (Final balance). It is common to drink or eat together after a successful business '{계약|契約}을 하다' to signify the start of a good relationship.
