Signification
A polite request for cooperation or kindness in a new relationship.
Contexte culturel
The phrase is often accompanied by a bow. The depth of the bow should match the formality of the '잘 부탁드립니다.' In a job interview, a 30-45 degree bow is standard. Exchanging business cards ({명함|名刺}) usually happens right before or after saying this phrase. You should hold the card with two hands. In Korean forums (like Naver Cafes), the first post is called a 'Ga-ip-in-sa' (Joining Greeting). It almost always ends with '잘 부탁드립니다' or the cute '잘 부탁드려요~^^'. Idols always say this when they debut or start a new show. It's a way of asking fans for their love and support.
The 'Magic Closing'
If you forget everything else in a self-introduction, just say your name and '잘 부탁드립니다.' It covers 90% of the social requirement.
Don't Overuse with Friends
If you say this to a close friend, they will ask, 'Are you okay? Why are you being so formal?'

The Bow Matters
A slight nod of the head is enough for peers, but a waist-bend bow is needed for elders or bosses.
