is it offensive to tell someone to 'keep the change'
for example

: you are in taxi and total is 4,500 won but you give the taxi driver 5,000 won and tell him to just keep the extra 500 won

is this offensive in Korean culture ?
(some were shocked when I did it even though it is normal here in the west lol)

    No at all. It depends on person i guess. Saying in hornored form is important.

    I think as long as you say it politely it doesn't matter ㅇㅇ 웃으면서 친절하게! 잔돈은 괜찮아요 ^-^
