सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Bowing is the most critical part of 'insa'. The person of lower status bows first and lower. You should not stop bowing until the other person has finished their bow. When greeting and exchanging business cards (myeong-ham), you should give and receive with two hands. This is considered part of the 'insa' process. Younger Koreans sometimes use 'insa' (인사) to mean 'introduction' on social media, like '인사드려요' when posting a first photo. During 'Jesa' (ancestral rites), 'insa' takes the form of two and a half deep bows to the deceased ancestors.
The 'Two-Hand' Rule
When shaking hands during an 'insa', use your right hand and place your left hand under your right elbow or on your chest to show respect.
Don't Bow Too Fast
A very quick, jerky bow can seem insincere. Move smoothly and hold the bottom of the bow for a split second.

The Elevator Insa
In apartment buildings, it's becoming common to greet neighbors in the elevator. A simple '안녕하세요' and a nod go a long way.
Eye Contact
Avoid intense eye contact while bowing. It's more polite to look at the other person's chest or the floor near their feet.
