Bedeutung
A polite request for someone to retain information in their memory.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Korea, remembering someone's name or a small detail they mentioned is considered a sign of high emotional intelligence and respect (Jeong). In Korean companies, '기억하세요' is often used by seniors to emphasize 'Gong-ji' (announcements). Failing to remember is seen as a lack of 'Nunchi'. Rote memorization (Am-gi) is a huge part of the Korean CSAT (Suneung) culture, making '기억하세요' a very common classroom phrase. On Korean social media (Instagram/X), users often post '기억하세요' followed by a 'life hack' or a motivational quote.
The 'Please' is built-in
You don't need to add 'please' (부탁합니다) because '-세요' already makes it a polite request.
Don't use with elders
If speaking to a grandparent, '잊지 말아 주세요' is safer than '기억하세요.'

Use with '꼭'
Adding '꼭' (surely/definitely) before '기억하세요' makes your reminder sound much more natural and earnest.
Memory as Love
In dramas, '나를 기억해' is a common heart-wrenching line. Use it sparingly for maximum emotional impact!
