Something highly unusual happened as I stepped into my building's elevator today. I heard the sound of a man belatedly approaching the elevators. I was already inside the elevator, and the doors hadn't closed yet, so I held the door open to allow the man to do the usual Korean thing and jog tardily in. Instead, I was greeted with silence, so after a few seconds, I called out, "Are you getting on?" The man quickly shuffled over and got in. This was astounding: someone who was polite enough to wait for the next elevator instead of running into the elevator at the very last second! I may never see this sort of thing again, but at least I now know there's one person in Korea who has some consideration.
