خلفية ثقافية
The 'Lunch Team' (점심 팀) culture is strong. It's common for an entire department to move as one unit to a restaurant. The youngest member often sets the table with spoons and napkins. Asking 'Have you eaten?' is a way to say 'Hello' or 'I care about you.' If you answer 'No,' the other person might feel obligated to buy you food or express concern. School lunches (급식) are a major part of student life. They are usually healthy, balanced, and provided to all students. Students often check the 'meal plan' (식단표) first thing in the morning. With the rise of delivery apps like Baedal Minjok, '점심을 시켜 먹다' (ordering lunch to eat) has become a standard office and home routine.
Drop the '을'
In casual speech, just say '점심 먹었어?' It sounds much more natural and fluid.
Honorifics Matter
Never use '먹다' with your boss or grandparents. Always use '드시다'.

The 'Lunch Greeting'
If someone asks '점심 먹었어요?' at 2 PM, they are just being polite. You don't need to give a detailed menu!
Sharing is Caring
If you eat lunch with Koreans, be prepared to share side dishes. It's the heart of the meal.
