2. 2

3. 3

   Step 3

   We apply the local South Korea percentage and show the total with tip.

• 1

  Tipping in South Korea is custom, not obligation: this dataset assumes roughly 0% in restaurants and 0% at hotels when no service charge is added — check the bill first, since many venues in Seoul already include service.

• 2

  Pad the plan, not every line item: add a 10-15% contingency to the tipping total for Seoul instead of inflating each component, so you can see exactly where the extra money goes when it is needed.

• 3

  Work in the local currency of Seoul and keep card fees as a separate line; converting every tipping price to your home currency with a rough rate distorts the comparison between options and hides their real differences.

• Rounding the Seoul tip by foreign reflex: the norms near 0% for restaurants and 0% for hotels apply to the full pre-discount total, and shaving the figure after a good meal misreads the local norm. Tip on the complete bill.

• Tipping Seoul twice: when service is already printed on the bill, adding the 0% restaurant norm from this dataset pays the server a second time. Read the invoice line first, then apply percentages only where service is absent.
