I had many taxi drivers insist that I take back their tip... let's just say that hasn't happened in many other places I've visited - especially where the currency is hard to understand and by accident you leave more than you should - no, usually you don't get that back. I definitely learned not to say sorry every time I bumped into someone in a crowd. Not needed, understood, gotta push through. :) The honesty - that is definitely something I noticed during my time in Korea as well.
