"So in leader engagements in Korea, typically the two senior personnel in the engagement will greet each other at first and then move into the office. The office is usually arranged in kind of a circular fashion with the chairs, and the two senior folks will sit at the head of that circle, basically opposite the door you entered into, and then the rest of the staff will be arranged around them. If there's an interpreter present, they'll be seated in between the two senior personnel or slightly behind the senior Korean person. Or if there's two interpreters, then they would be sitting behind their respective senior delegate."
