Unleash YOUR NUNCHI!

Got a case of foot in mouth? Brush up on your social skills with this ancient Korean art

- GABRIELLA DEL GRANDE

When it comes to the tricky world of social interactions, have you ever noticed that some people just get it?

They’re the ones who always seem to know exactly what to say even in the most awkward moments, and at dinner parties they’ll top up your wine glass before you’ve even realised it’s empty. They may not realise it, but they probably have excellent nunchi.

Pronounced ‘noon-chi’, it stems from Korean culture and is the art of sensing what the people around you are thinking and feeling in order to create trust and harmony.
