Bump because this has been in the back of my head.
I think this might be an ASMR thing rather than just watching someone eat. |

No, they might be afraid they learn some table manners...
Anyway, back to OP. I think the whole thing is a bit fudged up, personally. I mean, if you want to watch someone, ok, but Im assuming that these girls arent fatties? and if theyre not, they would be on their way to becoming fat if theyre being watched for 3 hours a day, eating.
So the solution is to ram your fingers down your throat.
So in effect, your paying for someone to purge themselves - sorry, but that's not healthy... |

Right, when you order a pizza or some fried chicken at home in front of the TV or computer, you are the height of etiquette. 
Maybe foreigners can watch Koreans and learn some manners like not picking at their face or blowing their nose at the dinner table. Or maybe some office etiquette like not chewing their pencils or licking their thumbs when turning pages or holding things in their mouth. Or maybe some car etiquette like not slamming doors, not eating or drinking in someone's car without their permission and not sticking random bits of trash in the rear seat.
Look, some Korean table habits could change, but we should also be aware that maybe we do some thing we aren't aware of that are pretty revolting or obnoxious as well. |

Wow! Is that how Americans eat? No wonder youre so defensive about Koreans - its all clear now...
Back at home, youd get thrown out on your ear if you behaved like that in most places, apart from maybe road side establishments (usually american style places like burger joints etc.) and Indian curry houses at 2 a.m.
Im happy to say, as a nation, we generally have pretty good table manners.
And I can honestly say, any disgusting habits (or lack of awareness thereof) I have picked up in the last few years, be it on or off the dinner table, have been a result of living here for the past 5 years. |

| Anyways, bringing it back to ASMR, I'm surprised how quickly such things can spread. You'd think this would be some big American thing, something about it seem uniquely American, but it's rapidly spread and the Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans have gobbled it up. I'm curious how they even found out about it. |

Make shit up much?
Back to reality. Korean table manners are absolutely atrocious. And if you don't think so that says a great deal about you. We already know that you smoke and spit. Recently you said that "good manners are over-rated." Now you're defending bronze age table manners by making up nonsense about some hypothetical foreigner chewing his pencil. And slamming doors!
Blowing your nose at the table is indeed disgusting. But I'd never seen it done until I came to Korea. And it's been Koreans I've seen doing it.
No surprise there. |

Generally, no.
And if SR thinks so, that says a lot about his frame of reference.
One thing I have noticed though, is a few westerners shoveling things around on the plate and then using their HAND to push a pile onto the spoon. I can guarantee many Koreans would look at that like... eeeew! Even worse... licking the fingers after doing so. |

The logic in this thread is astounding.
I've never seen it done, therefore you are making shit up.
A simple google search will show you that yes, people do blow their nose at the table and many find it impolite and many think it's just fine.
Some quotes that I'm sure will blow your mind.
| Quote: |
| no, for as long as the burb is silent and you commence blowing of the nose with your head tilted away from the table. |
| Quote: |
| It's not rude to blow your nose in a public place. The polite thing to do is to turn your head away from others so as not to "spray" anyone. |
| Quote: |
| it depends where you are and who your with...if youre at a dinner with friends go ahead and blow but if youre at a nice restaurant with a date then excuse yourself to the bathroom |
| Quote: |
| It's usually not acceptable behavior to blow your nose in upscale restaurants. Anywhere else is ok. |

Again, never once had I seen a person back home blow their nose at the table. It might be acceptable in rural Mississippi or some place, but not anywhere I've lived. If I witnessed it I would be grossed out and probably let them know it's offensive. But, much to your disappointment, I've never witnessed it back home. And I certainly wouldn't associate with anyone who did.
Again, I've only seen it done in Korea. Blowing ones' nose at the table is gross. I wish Koreans would stop doing it. |
