Did you know that in
South Korea writing someone's name in
red ink is a taboo? ... Writing someone's name in
red ink meant they were deceased
and if the person was still living you were wishing harm or death to come to them.Although this is a superstition that belongs more and more to the past, Koreans still consider it very rude to write someone's name in red ink, so it’s always better to avoid using a red pen.
