Nunchi is the art of sensing what other people are thinking and feeling, and responding appropriately.
A child who is unaware of the consequences that their actions or words have on other people, however, is a child with no nunchi. And no matter how sweet and kind they are, they're likely to be on the losing end of life — unless that cluelessness is trained out of them.Korean parents instill nunchi by first teaching their children this crucial lesson: "It's not all about you."
Another example: Some schools in Korea don't employ janitors. Students are expected to take turns cleaning — sweeping, mopping, taking out trash and even cleaning bathrooms. Everyone is divided into groups and responsibilities are rotated. This was the best nunchi crash course I could have asked for, because I had to assimilate into a foreign culture with zero linguistic clues. In order to succeed in my new country, I had to be hyper-reliant on my nunchi, which ultimately became my sixth sense.
