المعنى
A polite suggestion for someone to relax and take a break.
خلفية ثقافية
The phrase is a key part of 'Goseong' (acknowledging hardship). By saying this, you recognize that the other person has worked hard. It is a safe and polite way to end a Friday email to a client or boss, showing you respect their work-life balance. Korean hosts often feel responsible for a guest's comfort. Saying this repeatedly is a sign of being a good host. On KakaoTalk, this is often accompanied by a 'sleeping' or 'relaxing' emoji to soften the tone.
The 'Friday' Rule
Always use this phrase when saying goodbye to colleagues on a Friday afternoon.
Not for Sleep
Don't say this to someone who is literally closing their eyes to sleep; it's for the 'chilling' time before sleep.
