This was my situation four years ago. You might find an uncanny similarity, and I can tell you that the lesson you have to learn is that 'correcting' the errors of others is a surefire way to burn bridges and an absolutely ineffective way to actually educate them. Offer when asked, or offer when you know them well enough that they'll take your position with the credibility of your relationship to them. I'd be skeptical of a stranger telling me what my hat meant, too.
we knew each other, he wasn't a stranger. it was a casual conversation, i asked about his hat, he told me something factually incorrect, i didn't' think it was a huge issue to tell him what it meant, especially since he didn't speak korean. it was a simple correction. as far as burning bridges, thats not a bad thing, there are some places not worth going back to.
