눈치 – Noon-chi Romain's Travel 2020 Blog in North East Asia

This is the Noon-chi Blog I made in 2020 during my 10-month stay. Noon-Chi is used in the Korean language to describe the art of being in tune to someone else’s feelings, thoughts and emotions.

Someone with good noon-chi can read others’ body language or tone of voice to understand their real feelings. So I will do my best to also use the video and show myself ;-)
