One of the most interesting cultural experiences many foreigners notice in Korea is the famous “ppalli ppalli” culture, which roughly translates to “hurry hurry.” People often move quickly, work quickly, and expect services to be fast. At first this can feel a little overwhelming.

For example, when ordering food at a restaurant, the service can be incredibly fast compared to many other countries. Food sometimes arrives within just a few minutes. In offices or workplaces, tasks are often expected to be completed quickly as well.

However, many foreigners eventually realize that this culture also has advantages. Because people value efficiency, many services in Korea are very convenient. Food delivery can arrive extremely quickly, public transportation runs frequently, and online orders are processed fast.

While it might feel surprising at first, many people eventually come to appreciate the speed and efficiency of everyday life in Korea.
