This is my own experience during my stay (as I write I am still in Seoul).
Before coming here, I had lot of misconception about Korea and Koreans based on what I read on Quora and other sites.
Here is my experience:
The Koreans whom I got chance to interact with both at workplace and outside are very humble and receiving in nature. I always felt receptive and caring.

这是我在韩国期间的亲身经历(写这篇文章时，我还在首尔)。
在来这里之前，根据我在Quora和其他网站上读到的内容，我对韩国和韩国人有很多误解。
以下是我的经历：
我在工作场所和外面交流的韩国人都很谦逊，很受欢迎。我总能感觉到被接纳和关心。

For instance, due to less English usage in general, it’s difficult to book taxi by yourself, so my colleagues use to book for us and they use to come along with us and be with us until we board as a courtesy. And even outside, any stranger would gladly assist you in directions with whatever little English he/she understands.
Me being strict vegetarian, it’s very hard to find decent food as most of Korean dishes contains meat or it’s by products. Having understood my situation, my colleagues at workplace were always concerned and careful when we use to go out for dining and office lunches. They use to talk to chef’s and arrange to get suitable item for me.
In general, I found very common even strangers greet in Korean style bending forward and smile.
Koreans love Indian food. Especially Naan and Chicken Curry. However, they find Indian food quite expensive compared to local cuisine. To my surprise, there are many Indian restaurants in Seoul.
例如，由于这里英语的使用普遍较少，自己很难预订出租车，所以我的同事们通常会为我们预订，他们通常会陪着我们，直到我们登机，这是一种礼貌。甚至在外面，任何陌生人都会很乐意用他/她能听懂的一点点英语帮你指路。
我是一个严格的素食主义者，很难找到像样的食物，因为大多数韩国菜都含有肉类或副产品。在了解了我的情况后，我工作的同事们在出去吃饭和办公室午餐时总是非常关心和小心。他们经常和厨师谈话，安排给我合适的食物。总的来说，我发现即使是陌生人也经常以韩式的弯腰微笑的风格表达欢迎。
韩国人喜欢印度菜，尤其是印度烤饼和咖喱鸡。然而，他们发现印度菜相对于当地菜肴来说相当昂贵。令我惊讶的是，首尔有很多印度餐馆。

Koreans take extra care when it comes to hygiene. I observed people brush their teeth just after lunch. I was amused to see people lined up in office washrooms brushing their teeth after lunch !!! Their bidets are automatic and has many features.
Not sure if it’s common. But I observed, Koreans especially men doesn’t take much interest in their outfit and looks. I often find people both at workplace and outside shabbily dressed.
Finally, when it comes to middle-class situation, although Korea is highly developed country, the challenges and economic difficulties of middle class professionals is same everywhere. Bills, Installments, Expenses, less-saving is a global phenomenon. :) :)
I enjoyed my stay in Seoul. Would love to return in future.
韩国人特别注意卫生。我观察到人们午饭后就刷牙，我很高兴看到人们午饭后在办公室的洗手间排队刷牙!!他们的浴盆是自动的，有很多特点。
不确定它是否常见。但我注意到，韩国人，尤其是男性，对自己的服装和外表不太感兴趣。我经常在工作场所和外面发现人们穿着破旧。
最后，谈谈中产阶级的情况， 虽然韩国是高度发达的国家，但中产阶级专业人士面临的挑战和经济困难在世界各地都是一样的。账单、分期付款、支出、存款少是一个全球现象。
我很享受我在首尔的日子，很乐意未来返回那里。

2. Navya V, Indian born, raised and living abroad
The problem in South Korea is that there very less exposure to other cultures, so Koreans cannot tell the difference between Arab and Indian stuff. For example, when the context is Arab or Muslim, KBS will play Tunak Tunak in the background. I sometimes feel that Koreans are the Americans of the East (sorry guys! just a joke :) ) in terms of foreign knowledge and exposure.
Koreans have prejudices that apply to a wide range of people who are from hotter, tropical climates. It has nothing to do with nationality, but more with perceived hygiene and manners about which, Koreans have OCD. This applies to anyone from a tropical country. Nigeria, for example.
Navya V印度出生，成长，海外生活
韩国的问题是很少接触其他文化，所以韩国人无法区分阿拉伯和印度的事物。例如，当背景是阿拉伯或穆斯林时，KBS电视台会在背景中播放Tunak Tunak（译者注：也就是中国人所熟知的《我在东北玩泥巴》）。我有时觉得韩国人是东方的美国人(对不起，伙计们!只是一个玩笑)——在外国知识和曝光方面。
韩国人对来自更炎热的热带地区的人都有偏见。这与国籍无关，更多的是与人们感知到的卫生和礼仪有关，韩国人有强迫症。这适用于任何来自热带国家的人，例如,尼日利亚。

Smelly, dirty, washes butt with hands, etc.these are some pet peeves in Korean hygiene.
Koreans do not like people who eat with their hands. They find this disgusting. They even use gloves to eat finger food. So yeah.
They also derive their stereotypes about Indians from the poor people who work in the country. They might not trust you. That has happened to me twice. Like they think that you might scam them or something.
But this isn’t the case for educated Koreans who travel, study or work abroad, are fluent in English or don’t perceive Indians as dangerous people. Special shoutout to my friends!
With my Korean interactions I haven’t had any extreme cases of racism. Most of them think that I am Latina (medium skin tone). Sometimes I feel like I should prank them and say that I am Latina. That’ll be funny.
臭气熏天、脏兮兮、用手洗屁股等等，这些都是依据韩国卫生习惯所讨厌的问题。韩国人不喜欢用手吃饭，他们觉得恶心。他们甚至用手套吃手抓的食物，是的。
但对于那些在国外旅行、学习或工作、英语流利或不认为印度人是危险人物的受过教育的韩国人来说，情况并非如此。我与韩国人的交往中，我没有遇到过任何极端的种族主义案例。大多数人认为我是拉丁人(中等肤色)。有时我觉得我应该捉弄他们，说我是拉丁人。这将很有趣。

But yes they do tend to avoid foreigners in general and may avoid you quietly because they don’t have a good impression of you enough to trust you based on nationality. This is NOT their fault, but the fault of the trashy people who spoil India’s reputation everywhere they go. Since I have travelled a lot, I would say that Korean prejudice is the most subtle and least disruptive, compared to what I’ve experienced otherwise. Its because of their manners and nature,I guess. One of my friends said that English/communication is the problem. The more fluent guy in the group needs to translate your questions to the others.
That said, elderly people may not be accepting of you. If you read up on cases of prejudice against foreigners in Korea, its mostly people in the category of 50 years and around that who are the perps. Thats a given for any nationality. Old people, dumb old ways of thinking. The Korean professor I met was nice to me though! He even said that I could ask him any questions about Korea.
但是，总的来说，他们确实倾向于避开外国人，而且可能会悄无声息地避开你，因为他们对你的印象不够好，无法根据国籍信任你。这不是他们的错，而是那些到处破坏印度声誉的垃圾人的错。由于我去过很多地方，我想说，与我在其他地方的经历相比，韩国人的偏见是最微妙的，也是最不具破坏性的。我想是因为他们的举止和天性吧。我的一个朋友说英语/沟通是问题。团队中英语比较流利的人需要把你的问题翻译给其他人。
也就是说，上了年纪的人可能不会接受你。如果你读过韩国歧视外国人的案例，你会发现大多数50岁或50岁左右的人才是罪魁祸首。这对任何国家都是如此。老人，愚蠢的旧思维方式。我遇到的韩国教授对我很好!他甚至说我可以问他任何关于韩国的问题。

Once they get to know you all this awkwardness changes. They’re actually grateful to you for liking their culture and will say thank you with a wide smile. They’ll help you learn Korean. They’ll be SHOCKED if you say just anything in Korean and say that your Korean is quite good.
Colourism exists in Korea and thats not something that is equal to racism. It is mistaken for racism. In that case, even Indians have colourism (fairer skin is better) too so I don’t think its a big deal. A lot of African Americans live in Korea. They do make a lot of videos and do address colourism in them. Colourism in Korea is not race/nationality specific. It applies to dark skinned Koreans too!
So in conclusion, not popular, except for the notion of naan and curry.
一旦他们了解了你，所有的尴尬都会改变。事实上，他们会因为你喜欢他们的文化而感谢你，并且会面带微笑地说声谢谢，他们会帮你学韩语的。如果你用韩语说任何话，并且说你的韩语很好，他们会很震惊的。
肤色歧视在韩国是存在的，但这和种族主义是不一样的。它被误认为是种族主义。在这种情况下，就连印度人也有肤色歧视(肤色越浅越好)，所以我认为这没什么大不了的。很多非裔美国人住在韩国。他们确实制作了很多视频，并在其中指出肤色问题。在韩国，肤色歧视与种族/国籍无关。这也适用于深肤色的韩国人!
总之，除了印度烤饼和咖喱，印度大多事物都不太受欢迎。

Originally Answered: What do South Korean people think about India and Indians?
So, i think i am qualified enough to write this answer because i have been to south korea 9 times in last 3 years for a span of around 45 days each time !
Koreans in general are very well mannered and helpful.
Let me prove my claims :
Koreans are helpful : As google maps doesn’t works nicely in south korea, you have no option other than to ask people and expect them to understand english. But No matter whether they understand English or not they will try their best to help you reach your destination. Most of the times they have come with me to the destination, just to make sure i don’t go in wrong direction. This has happened more than 10 times and with different people. At most if they don’t understand you they would say a “Obseyo” a korean version of “NO” or “Don’t know” with a sorry face !
Ashish Kumar Singh印度生活
我认为我有足够的资格来写这个答案，因为我在过去的3年里去过9次韩国，每次大约45天!韩国人通常都很有礼貌和乐于助人。
1. 韩国人乐于助人:因为谷歌地图在韩国效果不好，你别无选择，只能问别人，并指望他们能听懂英语。但是不管他们是否懂英语，他们都会尽力帮助你抵达你的目的地。大多数时候，他们都和我一起到达目的地，只是为了确保我不会走错方向。这种情况在不同的人身上发生过十多次。如果他们听不懂你的话，他们最多会带着一脸抱歉的表情说“Obseyo”——韩国话就是“不”或“不知道”!

Koreans are well mannered : They greet you very nicely if they know you, even if they don’t know you most of the times you can receive a gentle smile from them as a gesture when your eyes meet. So that feels good. This has happened so many times. I have seen the top most officials bowing down and greeting in a beautiful way even if they don’t know you !
Now lets see how are Indians treated in south korea :
South Koreans generally don’t know much about India and Indians except that Indians are good in IT and its a land of spirituality, poverty ridden people, a place where women are not safe. So in general they don’t know much and if some of them know then the positive image is because of the spirituality and IT thing and the negative image is because they think rape is common in India and women are unsafe and because of the poverty and poor people.
2.韩国人很有礼貌：如果他们认识你，他们会很友好地跟你打招呼，即使他们大多数时候并不认识你，当你们目光相遇时，他们会给你一个温柔的微笑。这感觉很好。这种情况已经发生过很多次了。我见过许多高级官员，即使他们不认识你，也会用美丽的方式鞠躬问候你!
现在让我们看看印度人在韩国是如何被对待的:韩国人通常不太了解印度和印度人，只知道印度人在IT方面很好，这是一块充满灵性的土地，人们生活在贫困，妇女不安全的地方。所以总的来说，他们知道的不多，如果他们中的一些人知道，那么正面的印象是由于精神上的原因，负面的印象是因为他们认为强奸在印度很常见，妇女不安全，因为贫穷和穷人。

So with all this in their mind, they don’t have much respect for Indians in general. As an Indian in South Korea you can feel that people don’t like you much in general except if you have some personal connection.
But, even with all this they never treat Indians or any one badly, as i said they are well mannered and civilized. They will help you and greet you well, but nothing more should be expected apart from that, because they don’t have reasons to be extra nice to you !
South Koreans imitate and follow the US a lot and hence you can see that they prefer the people from English countries far ahead than Indians or others. So take it for granted that if a Korean girl has to choose between an Indian or the American for dance in a club, she will for sure choose the American one, that decision won’t take 1/1000th of second in her mind.
This is a general picture, personal experiences might vary and some negative incidents could be called as occasional racism but that is not true in complete sense, if the complete picture is taken into account.
所以考虑到这一切，他们总体上对印度人没有多少尊重。作为一个住在韩国的印度人，你会感到人们一般不太喜欢你，除非你有一些私人关系。
但是，尽管如此，他们从来没有对印度人或任何人不好，就像我说的，他们很有礼貌很文明。他们会帮助你，问候你，但除此之外别无他求，因为他们没有理由对你特别好! 韩国人大量模仿和效仿美国，因此你可以看到，他们更喜欢英语国家，远远超过印度人或其他国家的人。所以想当然地认为，如果一个韩国女孩在一个俱乐部里要在印度人和美国人之间选择跳舞，她肯定会选择美国人，这个决定不会在她脑海中占据千分之一秒的时间。
这是一个总体的情况，个人经历可能会有所不同，一些负面的事件可以被称为偶然的种族主义，但如果把整个情况考虑在内，那就不是完全正确的。

4.Jeet Dhindsa
, Foreign Expat Living and Working in Korea
How popular a country is to Koreans depends upon what they envy.
Generally speaking, Koreans tend to envy developed nations with material wealth, whose people possess physical beauty and lifestyle traits they admire, and if the nation is externally validated by some list or measure important to Koreans (usually western standards).
This makes sense since Korea was once considered one of the poorest countries in the world less than 70 years ago, so the criteria of so-called developed or wealthy nations can become the benchmark for what’s popular or favorable to Koreans.
Jeet Dhindsa 在韩国生活和工作的外国人
一般来说，韩国人往往会羡慕物质财富丰富的发达国家，这些国家的人拥有他们羡慕的外表和生活方式，如果这个国家被一些对韩国人来说很重要的列表或衡量标准(通常是西方标准)所认可的话。
这是有道理的，因为在不到70年前，韩国曾被认为是世界上最贫穷的国家之一，所以所谓的发达国家或富裕国家的标准可以成为衡量韩国人受欢迎与否的基准。

Some Context
Korea is often overshadowed in world news & politics by North Korea’s unpredictable antics and behavior. That’s why South Koreans feel they need to distance and distinguish themselves from the North. One of the key ways they do this is through earning achievements on global scales, metrics, and measures that will make them seem superior, developed, and modern in comparison to North Korea. They want to make their mark on the world and make up for lost time as a hermit and isolationist country that later became a colony in the shadow of Japan’s former empire.
Korea itself has yet to make a timeless dent or significant contribution towards the global body of human knowledge, culture, and civilization.
背景
在世界政治新闻中，朝鲜不可预测的古怪行为和举止常常给韩国蒙上阴影。这就是为什么韩国人觉得他们需要与朝鲜保持距离，并将自己与朝鲜区分开来。他们做到这一点的关键途径之一是通过在全球范围内取得成就、衡量标准和措施，使他们看起来比朝鲜更优越、更发达、更现代化。他们想在世界上留下自己的印记，弥补作为一个隐士和孤立主义国家失去的时间，后来又成为日本前帝国阴影下的殖民地。韩国本身还没有对人类知识、文化和文明的全球体系做出永恒的影响或重大的贡献。

India on the other hand, despite having made monumental contributions to the development of human civilization, a source of great pride, is by no means a financially developed and materialistically wealthy nation by the same standards and measures sought after by Koreans today.
India’s most significant exports are ideas (spiritual practices, sciences, and art); enlightened beings (Buddha, Osho, Yogananada, Sadh Guru, Gandhi); and smart people. Very, intelligent people like the scholar Ramanujan (known for mathematical infinity), and the current and former CEOs of Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Pepsi, Citigroup, etc.… who are all Indian.
Keen outside observers often note that Korea seems to bounce between a superiority/inferiority complex, which fuels Korea to strive for external validation by constantly seeking competition, status symbols, and scoring points in western and global popularity contests such as the Olympic Games, Asian Games, World Cup, OCED & UN rankings, G20 Summits, etc…
另一方面，印度尽管对人类文明的发展作出了巨大的贡献，这是一个令人自豪的源泉，但按照今天韩国人追求的标准，它绝不是一个财政发达和物质富裕的国家。
印度最重要的出口产品是思想(精神实践、科学和艺术)和觉悟者(佛陀、奥修、尤加纳那达、萨达古鲁、甘地)和聪明的人。像学者Ramanujan(以数学无限而闻名)这样的聪明人，以及谷歌、微软、Adobe、百事、花旗等公司的现任和前任首席执行官……他们都是印度人。
敏锐的外部观察人士经常注意到，韩国似乎在一种优越感和自卑感之间摇摆，促使韩国不断寻求竞争、地位象征，并在西方和全球的人气比赛中得分，以争取外部认可——比如奥林匹克运动会，亚洲运动会，世界杯，世界经济合作组织，联合国排名，G20峰会等。
India’s most significant exports are ideas (spiritual practices, sciences, and art); enlightened beings (Buddha, Osho, Yogananada, Sadh Guru, Gandhi); and smart people. Very, intelligent people like the scholar Ramanujan (known for mathematical infinity), and the current and former CEOs of Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Pepsi, Citigroup, etc.… who are all Indian.
Keen outside observers often note that Korea seems to bounce between a superiority/inferiority complex, which fuels Korea to strive for external validation by constantly seeking competition, status symbols, and scoring points in western and global popularity contests such as the Olympic Games, Asian Games, World Cup, OCED & UN rankings, G20 Summits, etc…

India is not stricken with or afflicted by the same inferiority/superiority complex dynamics that fuel competitive drive in the Korean national psyche. Indians do not get as excited or fired-up by global or western competition as the Koreans do. India does not strive to say, “me-too!” on a pantheon of highly developed nations, because for Indians, their core value systems across many religions and philosophies emphasize that worldly achievements are an illusion and distraction from living a happy life and attaining success, which for Indians, is more about rich metaphysical experiences than having physical possessions.
All Indians don't shun having possessions, but they don't want to become possessed by possessions. And Korean consumerism may be at odds or clash with this intrinsic idea that's held by many Indians.
印度没有受到韩国民族心理中激发竞争动力的那种自卑/优越感的困扰。印度人不像韩国人那样对全球或西方竞争感到兴奋。
印度人不会努力抗辩：“我也可以！”这是通向发达国家的必由之路，因为对印度人来说，他们众多宗教和哲学的核心价值体系强调世俗的成就是一种幻想，是对幸福生活和获得成功的分心，对印度人来说，这更多是关于丰富的形而上学经验，而不是物质财富。
所有的印度人都不回避拥有财产，但他们不想被财产所占有。而韩国的消费主义可能与许多印度人持有的固有观念不一致或冲突。
西方专注于当下生活的部分或暂时的成功。东方专注于属于永恒的圆满成功。——尤迦南达

Moreover, India is not a homogenous country like Korea. It is a multicultural nation with large and distinct groups that can be considered separate nations based on their racial differences, religions, languages, and culture. Even if India wanted to chase after the external validation mentioned above it would be more challenging if not impossible to rally and unite the whole nation for these materialistic causes.
This is why Indians don’t tend to score popularity points with the Koreans because they’re not a high ranking player in the games the Koreans are interested in playing.
To illustrate this point take the perception the average and ordinary Indian will have of the British versus the attitude an everyday Korean will have of the Japanese. Indians have had a deep, rich, and turmoiled colonial history with the British, as the Koreans had with the Japanese, yet if Indians were to size up and measure English society and culture they might think it’s spiritually bankrupt and culturally bland for lack of taste, tradition, life, and vibrancy. There wouldn't be a compulsion to “show them,” the British, except maybe in cricket matches.
此外，印度不像韩国那样是一个单一民族国家。它是一个多元文化的国家，有许多不同的群体，根据他们的种族差异、宗教、语言和文化，这些群体可以被视为独立的国家。即使印度想要追求上述的外部认可，为了这些物质主义的原因而团结和整合整个国家，即便不是不可能，也是极具挑战性的。
这就是为什么印度人不受韩国人欢迎的原因，因为在韩国人感兴趣的比赛中，印度人的排名不是很高。为了说明这一点，我们来看看普通印度人对英国人的看法和韩国人对日本人的态度。
印度人与英国人有一段深刻、丰富而混乱的殖民历史，就像韩国人与日本人的殖民历史一样。然而，如果印度人要衡量英国社会和文化，他们可能会认为英国缺乏品味、传统、生活和活力，精神上破产，文化上乏味。在这里，印度没有一种被迫要向不列颠“证明”自己的心态，也许除了板球。

The Koreans, on the other hand, will also look at the Japanese, their former colonial master, with a degree of bitterness as a former colony, but underneath the surface, the Koreans will have a sense of vengeful envy (“one day I’ll show you”) and feel a sense of victimization and inferiority towards Japan. They will feel a compulsion to one-up Japan in material wealth and match or surpass their perceived notion that the Japanese have a seemingly more sophisticated or superior society to them.
Indians care about different things and vibrate at a much different frequency than Koreans, so Indians will not exactly score points on the popularity charts Koreans are watching.
另一方面，韩国也在观察日本人，他们的前殖民主，带着殖民地的苦涩，但在表面之下，韩国人会有一种报复性嫉妒感(“总有一天我会证明给你看”)，并且面对日本有一种受害感和自卑感。他们会有一种冲动，想要在物质财富上超过日本，赶上或超越他们所认为的日本社会似乎比他们更复杂或更优越的观念。
印度人关心的事情与韩国人不同，有共鸣的事情也大不相同，所以印度人在韩国人所关注的人气排行榜上得分并不太高。

As a Korean who has spent most of my life in India, I wholly agree with these observations. A minority of Koreans (artists, intellectuals, spiritual people) have a favorable view of India for its historical and current contributions to intellectual and spiritual achievements (Buddhism, yoga, Rabindranath Tagore etc). But a majority of Koreans, who have a materialistic mindset are puzzled and appalled by India's lack of economic development, public safety, public hygene etc. However, almost all Koreans admit that India is one of the world's great civilizations. Those who have been to India have polarizing views, based on their personality and experience (but that is true of almost everyone who visits India, regardless of nationality; they either love it or hate it, no one has a neutral view). The younger generation with more exposure to Indian food, friends and culture (3 Idiots, or pretty much any Amir Khan movie!) have a more nuanced view.
作为一个在印度生活了大半生的韩国人，我完全同意这些看法。少数韩国人(艺术家、知识分子、精神人士)对印度在历史和当前对知识和精神成就(佛教、瑜伽、泰戈尔等)的贡献抱有好感。
但是，大多数崇尚物质的韩国人对印度缺乏经济发展、公共安全、公共环境等感到困惑和震惊。尽管，几乎所有的韩国人都承认印度是世界上最伟大的文明之一。那些去过印度的人，根据他们的性格和经历，会有两极分化的看法(但几乎每个去过印度的人都是如此，不分国籍。他们要么喜欢它，要么讨厌它，没有人有中立的观点)。
年轻一代对印度食物、《老友记》和印度文化(《三傻大闹宝莱坞》，或者任何一部阿米尔·汗的电影)有更多的接触，他们有更微妙的看法。

Honestly, I agree with everything said here. Living in Korea for some time, I’ve noticed that they take influences from all around the world and incorporate it into their culture, like the cute cafes and fashion etc. and I don’t think this is completely “money-minded”, aside from the beauty standards, if you’re a korean in South Korea, even as a person in the middle-class you’ll live a pretty happy life. I’m 100% Indian and I lived in India when I was little- when I moved to Korea I was kind of jealous that people in India don’t care to keep things as clean and organized as they do in South Korea and it, along with things I’ve never considered before such as skin tone, turned into something that people used to generalize, look down on and invalidate my culture for, despite me growing up knowing how India is so much more than that. This is a little off-topic from the original question but since you mentioned it, I think if India improved these things it would be better for the country and people in general, not about validation from other countries.
老实说，我同意这里所说的一切。在韩国生活一段时间后，我发现他们吸收了来自世界各地的影响，并将其融入到他们的文化中，比如可爱的咖啡馆和时尚等等。
我不认为这是完全的“金钱至上”，除了美丽的标准，如果你是韩国人，即使作为一个中产阶级，你也会过着相当幸福的生活。我是100%的印度人，我小时候住在印度——当我搬到韩国时，我有点嫉妒，因为印度人不喜欢像韩国人那样把东西收拾干净，还有那些我之前从没没有考虑过的比如肤色，变成了一种被人们用来概括、鄙视和否定我的文化的东西，尽管我从小就知道印度的意义远不止于此。
这有点跑题了，但是既然你提到了，我认为如果印度改进这些事情，对国家和人民都有好处，而不是事关来自其他国家的认可。
