In recent days, the renowned actor Timothée Chalamet has been highly praised for greeting Koreans the ‘right way’ during his visit to South Korea for his promotion activities for his recent film project ‘Dune: Part 2‘.
Among these promotions, the actor appeared as a guest on the show ‘You Quiz On The Block‘ with the host Yoo Jae Suk, getting much attention for his evident respectful attitude towards the Korean culture, in particular with his greetings to the people.
Timothée Chalamet was seen in Korea at the Incheon National Airport and at his entrance to the talk show, bowing for greeting or farewell, as Koreans do. An important detail was that he did not bring his hands together in front of him as other celebrities do when visiting Asian countries. That would be wrong.

This action was well received by Korean people and netizens who have also indicated his passion for taekwondo taught him much of the culture: “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a Western celeb not putting their hands together in front of them“, “Of course, our taekwon-kid“, and “How people greet one another is so important“.
