In Korean restaurants you must actively call the server — saying 여기요 loudly or pressing the table buzzer is normal and expected, not rude; sitting quietly and waiting will result in a very long wait. Side dishes (반찬) that arrive automatically are communal, free, and refillable on request — they are not individual portions and should not be treated as a separate paid dish.
