A polite wish for someone to enjoy their weekend.
خلفية ثقافية
In Korean offices, you should never leave on a Friday without saying this to your team. It's not just a greeting; it's a signal that you are officially 'off the clock'. On KakaoTalk, people often use cute stickers of characters resting or sleeping along with this phrase to emphasize the 'rest' aspect of the weekend. Younger Koreans might use the slang '즐주' (Jeul-ju), which is an abbreviation of '즐거운 {주말|週末}' (Pleasant weekend). It's very common in gaming or casual chats. Unlike some cultures where service workers are ignored, in Korea, it is considered very 'warm' (정 많은) to return a weekend wish to a taxi driver or a cashier.
The Monday Follow-up
Always follow up on Monday morning by asking '{주말|週末} 잘 보내셨어요?' It shows you remembered the person.
Don't be too early
Saying this on Thursday morning sounds like you're desperate for the week to end. Wait until at least Friday lunch.
