나이에 따라 달라지는 거리감
Age and Distance in Korea and Japan

[Level: Intermediate-Advanced]
[Topic: Cultural Differences in Age and Speech Levels]
[Cultural Context]

- In Korea, age determines hierarchy, speech level, and interpersonal boundaries.
- In Japan, formal language (敬語) is more structured but applied situationally rather than age-based.- Business settings in Japan require strict politeness, but casual relationships often ignore age.
- Both cultures value respect, but they express it differently — Korea through hierarchy, Japan through context.
