Bedeutung
A more formal way to say goodbye, expecting to meet again.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The use of humble verbs like '뵙다' is a reflection of 'Chemyeon' (saving face). By lowering yourself, you are giving 'face' to the other person, which is a vital social lubricant in Korean society. In companies, hierarchy is paramount. Even if you are close with a senior, using '또 봬요' in front of others maintains the professional boundary and shows respect for the organizational structure. Students are taught from a young age to use '봬요' with teachers. Using '봐요' can be seen as slightly rude or 'too casual' (버릇없다). On apps like KakaoTalk, '또 봬요' is often used with a polite emoji (like a bowing bear) to soften the formality and add warmth to a professional relationship.
The 'Hae' Test
If you're unsure whether to write 뵈 or 봬, try replacing it with 해 (hae). Since you say '해요', you should write '봬요'.
Avoid with Friends
Using this with close friends can make you sound distant or like you're joking about being formal.
