Signification
To provide someone with a chance to do something.
Contexte culturel
The 'Spoon Class Theory' (수저 계급론) has made the phrase '기회를 주다' politically charged. Many young Koreans feel that 'fair chances' are disappearing. In companies, giving a chance often comes with high expectations of 'loyalty' and 'hard work' in return, reflecting the 'Jeong' culture. A common trope involves a wealthy protagonist giving a 'chance' to a poor but hardworking character, often as a test of character. Korean parents are obsessed with 'giving chances' to their children through expensive private education (Hagwons).
