Stating the intention to get in touch at a later time.
Contexto cultural
The 'Polite Brush-off': Saying 'I'll call you' is a standard way to end a conversation without making a plan. Don't take it literally unless a specific time is mentioned. Hierarchy matters. Always use '연락드리겠습니다' with superiors. Using '연락할게요' can make you seem too casual or disrespectful. KakaoTalk is the primary mode of '연락'. If someone says this, they likely mean they will message you on KakaoTalk rather than calling. Koreans avoid saying 'No' directly. '나중에 연락할게요' is a safe way to postpone a request without being confrontational.
The 'L' Sound
Remember that {連絡|연락} is pronounced 'Yeol-lak' due to Korean phonological rules. Don't say 'Yeon-rak'!
Don't Wait Forever
If a Korean person says this without a specific time, don't sit by the phone. It's often just a polite goodbye.
