Expressing a feeling of anxiety or concern.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Worrying is often seen as a form of 'Jeong' (affection). Parents will constantly tell their children they are worried as a way to say 'I love you.' In Korean companies, expressing worry about a project can be a way to show you are taking your responsibilities seriously, rather than showing weakness. Koreans use '걱정' in comments to show solidarity. If an idol or celebrity posts about being tired, fans will flood the comments with '걱정돼요'. When someone is worried or stressed, it is common to give a small gift like a 'Vitamin C' drink or a 'Bacchus' to help them 'overcome their worry.'

Showing Care
Saying '걱정돼요' to a Korean friend who is going through a hard time is often more appreciated than just saying '힘내세요' (Cheer up).
