Etiquette
Photo spot etiquette
Get the shot without becoming the reason locals dislike tripods.
Temples: no flash in halls; dress shoulders/knees; skip selfies on altar lines.
Cafés: one table, order something, don’t rearrange furniture for content.
Residential hanok streets: keep voices down; don’t block gates.
People: ask before close-ups of strangers.
Drones: restricted near palaces, airports, and many parks — assume no.
