One observation about riding the subway

In NYC, you have to hang on when standing. In Seoul, it seems a matter of culture that you can't hold on. At the most you can lean against an upright, but no one holds on to the bar or loop overhead.

It may be that the condition of the tracks and automation of the braking lend to a smoother ride. Is there something about Korean culture that makes it uncool to hold on?
