المعنى
Stating the intention to make a phone call at a later time.
خلفية ثقافية
The phrase '나중에 밥 한번 먹자' (Let's eat together later) is often just a greeting. However, '나중에 전화할게요' is usually taken more literally, especially in business. In Korean companies, if a subordinate says '나중에 전화할게요' to a superior, it can be seen as slightly rude. The subordinate should always use '전화드리겠습니다'. With the rise of KakaoTalk, this phrase is often replaced by '나중에 톡할게요' (I'll text/talk to you later on Kakao). Koreans may use this phrase to avoid saying 'No' directly to a request over the phone, deferring the 'No' to a later time to save face.
The 'Ittaga' vs 'Najunge' Rule
If you plan to call back within the same day, '이따가' (ittaga) sounds more natural. '나중에' (najunge) can mean later today, tomorrow, or next week.
Don't forget the 'Yo'
Unless you are 100% sure the person is your close friend or younger, always include '요' at the end to avoid being unintentionally rude.
