Koreans usually use spoons and chopsticks for dining. They would use spoons to eat rice and soups and chopsticks to eat side dishes.
Interestingly, it is often considered impolite to hold your spoon and chopsticks together in the same hand or grab with both hands.
Instead, it is preferred that they hold one silverware at a time. Another table manner is not lifting their rice bowl while eating.
Also, it is taught that they should not start eating before elders, and even after they are finished with their meal, they need to remain seated until the elder finishes.
