Significado
A polite farewell, indicating a future meeting.
Contexto cultural
The 'Empty Promise' Culture: Saying 'Let's meet next time' or 'Let's have dinner' is often a polite way to say goodbye without a concrete plan. In Korean business, the person of lower status should wait for the higher status person to initiate the goodbye, then respond with '다음에 봬요'. The use of '뵙다' (humble) instead of '보다' (standard) is a key marker of a well-educated person who respects social order. On KakaoTalk, this phrase is often accompanied by a bowing emoji (🙇) to emphasize the respect.
The Spelling Trick
If you can replace it with '해' (hae), use '봬'. If you can replace it with '하' (ha), use '뵈'. Since we say '해요', we use '봬요'.
Don't be too humble
Using '봬요' with your own children or subordinates can sound weirdly distant or even sarcastic.
