المعنى
Expressing gratitude for receiving information.
خلفية ثقافية
In Korean business culture, acknowledging receipt of information is as important as the information itself. Leaving an email or message 'read' without a '감사합니다' can be seen as a lack of professionalism. When a superior gives you information, using the honorific '-시-' in '주셔서' is mandatory. It acknowledges their status and the 'grace' of them sharing their time/knowledge with you. On KakaoTalk, it is common to use emojis alongside this phrase to soften the formality while still being respectful. Koreans often use this phrase even if they already knew the information, just to be polite and acknowledge the other person's effort to help.
Add '미리' for extra politeness
Saying '미리 알려주셔서 감사합니다' (Thank you for letting me know in advance) is a great way to show you appreciate someone's proactive communication.
Don't forget the '-시-'
Leaving out the honorific '-시-' in '주셔서' when talking to a boss makes the sentence feel 'half-polite' and can be awkward.

The 'Read' Receipt
In Korea, if you see a message but don't reply with at least a short thanks, it's called 'Ipssip' (mouth-chewing/ignoring). Always send a quick '알려줘서 고마워'!
