What should I call them? : ±×µéÀ» ¾î¶»°Ô ºÒ·¯¾ß ÇÒ±î¿ä?

You meet the president of a company, he's much older than you are, and he says, "Hello, I'm Joe Smith." What do you call him? "Mr. Smith" is the best way to start in this instance. You may find that soon he tells you to call him "Joe". In North America, when you first meet someone who is of the same or a similar age as you, you will probably use his/her first name. It is only when you meet someone much older or a much higher position than you that you use his/her last name. The casual use of first names is much more common in North America than in Korea, or even Europe.
