Bedeutung
Stating one's occupation as an office or company worker (formal).
Kultureller Hintergrund
Workplace hierarchy is very important. Stating you are a '직장인' helps others know how to address you. Similar to Korea, the 'Salaryman' culture is strong. Using '会社員' is the standard equivalent. The term '上班族' (office worker group) is used to describe the lifestyle of the modern urban worker. In the US, people often state their specific job title (e.g., 'I'm an accountant') rather than a general category like 'office worker'.
Keep it simple
If you are unsure of your specific job title, '직장인' is the safest and most polite answer.
Privacy
Don't feel pressured to name your company. '직장인' is enough for most social settings.
