| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Kyejin: Koreans tend to ask personal questions to show interest. It is not unusual to be asked about and get comments on your religion, appearance, relationship status, and so on. They do not ask you questions to be rude but to satisfy curiosity. And, of course, you do not have to answer every question. |
