What does the gesture of monopolizing South Korea mean? South Korea's unique cultural feature is the use of gestures to express emotions. Young people in South Korea often use the "V" gesture, that is, they cover their faces with their hands to show calm and happiness. The "love gesture" means love, and it is bent with the index finger and middle finger to symbolize the heart shape. Of course, Koreans also need to pay attention to gestures, such as the "wave" gesture, which we usually think is to invite others over, but in Korea, this gesture means "don't even go near".

In South Korea, there are also some unique gestures about China's food etiquette. They like to hold cups with both hands when touching them to show their respect for each other. When drinking, they like to use the "one shot" gesture, that is, the gesture of limiting one time, indicating that the amount of alcohol can reach the limit.

There is also a very well-known Korean gesture, which is the "finger heart" gesture, which is a small shape composed of index finger and thumb, symbolizing the heart. This gesture has become one of the representative gestures of Korean idol circles, and all kinds of artists will make this gesture in group photos or live broadcasts, so this gesture has also become a very representative part of Korean pop culture.
