If you are invited out for a meal or even just a drinking and dancing session with Korean friends, you will
find it difficult to pay the bill yourself or even contribute to it. The same applies even if it is you that is
doing the inviting. All manner of ruses will be used to beat you to the cashier, even if it means that the
person who pays is going to have to live on bread and water for the next week. The bill for a group is always
paid by one person and one only. If you want to contribute, then make these arrangements before you go out
and settle up after you leave. Never attempt to do it in front of the cashier. You will seriously embarrass
your host. Indeed, by doing anything like this, you may embarrass them to such a degree that they will never
be able to return to that particular restaurant or club. If you are a man taking a woman out for the night, you
pay. She won’t even offer.
