Contexte culturel
The 'Friday Greeting' is a vital part of office harmony. Leaving without saying this to your team can be seen as cold or abrupt. When saying this to a superior, it's polite to wait until they are about to leave or to say it as you are making your exit. On KakaoTalk, it's common to send this with a 'sticker' (emoticon) of a character resting or eating. Korean service workers are extremely polite. Hearing this at a convenience store on a Friday night is a sign of high-quality service.
The 'Do' Rule
Always remember to add '도' (too) when responding. '너도' (you too) for friends, '[Title]도' for superiors.
Don't be too early
Saying this on Thursday morning makes you look like you're mentally already on vacation!
