Body language in Korea also has a cultural aspect that encompasses formality. While there are other differences in body language, I think the formal ones are most important as they will dictate how you are obligated to respectfully treat those older than you (and will get you in the most trouble as a foreigner if you forget to do them).
-Bowing is very common in greeting and saying goodbye to someone older than you. To make a bow more respectful, bow more deeply and for a longer period of time.
-When someone older enters the room, it is customary to rise to greet them.
-When shaking hands with someone, Koreans (assuming they are shaking hands with their right hand) cross their left hand over their body and touch their inner right elbow while shaking hands.
-Making direct motions at someone is considered ruder in Korea than it is in America. For example, instead of beckoning someone over to you with the tips of your fingers pointed at them, you should face your palm to the ground and keep your fingers hanging down. Instead of pointing using your finger at someone, you should extend your entire hand with your palm pointed out. Even while eating, it is rude to point your chopsticks at someone.
