Bill Gates under criticism for disrespecting South Korean president with casual handshake

The picture is quite funny. Very awkward greeting position for Bill Gates. We hope the President is not offended. The picture made headlines across South Korean newspapers, with headlines such as:

"Cultural difference, or an act of disrespect?" the JoongAng Ilbo wrote in the accompanying caption.

"Disrespectful handshake? Casual handshake?" the Dong-A Ilbo asked.

Cultural difference or disrespect? South Koreans are not happy and @msryu67 on twitter sums it up:

"Even considering the cultural difference, there is an appropriate manner for certain occasions ... how can he put his hand in his pocket when meeting a leader of the state?" she tweeted!
