Signification
To share the same opinion or accept a proposal.
Contexte culturel
In corporate 'Hoesik' (dinner) culture, agreeing with the boss's choice of restaurant or menu is a sign of loyalty, often expressed with this phrase. The 'Agree to All' button in apps is called '전체 {동의|同意}'. It's a cultural meme how quickly people click it without reading. In Korea, medical surgery requires the '동의서' (consent form) signed by the patient or family, emphasizing the 'doing' of agreement. Korean students are taught to use this phrase when citing sources they support in their essays to sound objective and scholarly.
The '를' Power
Use '를' when you want to sound like you've given the matter serious thought. It sounds more 'official' than just '동의하다'.
Particle Trap
Never use '와/과' (with) for the opinion. It's always '~에' (to).
