He talked about how he wasn’t greeted when he was interacting with people, and that bothered him. He also added that the latest generation are more open and casual about the formalities of greeting someone; however, the case was not the same for them.

He shared that “I’m not like cussing people out or anything, but I feel like I’m thinking too much about it because if you see someone walk by, you say annyeonghaseyo, then if they don’t reply back, you’d be like, ‘What the…okay.’ But I feel like it’s come to the point where this generation is allowed to do that, just not care, if that’s right.”

Bang Chan talks about overthinking and not receiving greetings from peopleIn relation to the previous issue, Bang Chan added that he had faced instances where even after he would greet someone respectfully, they wouldn’t reciprocate the gesture, leaving him to overthink his actions. He stated that “I guess there were a few scenarios where that would happen. At first, I was like, Okay, and then the more I thought about it, I was like, Maybe I am overexaggerating. Maybe I’m thinking too much about it. Maybe I’m a boomer.” He continued, sharing that “But I mean, from my perspective, whoever it is, I’m going to say hi the best I can because I am here to have fun and greet people I like and respect.”
