Hello people, how are we doing, quickly, I will be talking on the South Korean culture this afternoon….pls grab a plate of snacks and any drink of your choice….
Try as much as possible not to use red ink for writing names of your friends in South Korea… It’s a big taboo!!!
Pen inks come in a wide array of colors and sometimes it is fun to use them to make colorful doodles, drawings and whatever. For some people, it does not matter what ink color you use to write their names with, as long as their names are spelled correctly. For South Koreans however, you can use other colors except red because for them red ink symbolizes death.

The colour is not of no meaning actually to some why some sees red colour as what is not normal

Personally I don’t use Red ink to write names not even mine. Not some sort of beliefs but personally I don’t see it right.

Growing up we were told it’s a taboo. Maybe it was adapted from the people of South Korea. And even since I never see red ink for writing purpose other than marking of test sheets and few other minor things.
