Excuse me, I have a question about Korean culture and etiquette. I'm planning to visit Korea soon and I want to make sure I don't make any mistakes when it comes to giving gifts. Could you please tell me what gifts are considered inappropriate or taboo to give to a Korean person? I've heard that some gifts might be considered offensive or have bad connotations in Korean culture. I'd really appreciate your help in avoiding any awkward situations.

This reluctance is rooted in their strong cultural belief that doing so may sever relationships.

Therefore, Koreans tend to avoid giving cutting tools as gifts, out of fear of unintentionally harming their relationships.
