Section 3: Paragraph 5 Seyoung Ahn

I have another interesting example! If you make a gesture in which you use your index finger to poke or point towards your cheek, South Korean people will take it as your attempt to appear cute. On that note, Korean people often ask little children to make this gesture. I have never really seen this occur in Western cultures, so this gesture probably would have a completely different meaning or not be able to deliver any meaning at all in different cultural contexts.
