Significado
Indicating an intention to attempt something.
Contexto cultural
Using '한번 해 볼게요' is a sign of 'Geom-yang' ({謙讓|겸양} - humility). Even if you are confident, saying you will 'try' sounds more modest than saying you will 'succeed'. In many Korean companies, 'trying' is seen as a duty. Refusing a task from a superior is difficult, so this phrase serves as a polite 'yes' that acknowledges the difficulty. Younger Koreans often use this phrase when starting 'Challanges' on social media (like the 'Ice Bucket Challenge' or dance challenges). Teachers in Korea constantly encourage students with '한번 해 봐' (You try it), to which students respond '한번 해 볼게요'. It's the foundation of the student-teacher interaction.
The 'Nunchi' Move
If you aren't sure if you can do something, always say '한번 해 볼게요' first. It buys you time and shows a good attitude.
Don't over-use 'Han-beon'
If you say '한번' for every single sentence, you might sound indecisive. Use it only when actually starting or suggesting a trial.
