The 'Closing Ritual': Koreans rarely hang up immediately. They use multiple 'Ne' (Yes) or 'Geurae' (Okay) sounds as a buffer. Hanging up too fast is called 'Kkal-kkeum-hada' but can feel cold. Hierarchy matters. The subordinate should wait for the superior to hang up first. If you hear silence, it's usually the subordinate waiting for the 'click' from the boss. Couples often play the 'You hang up first' (Niga meonjeo kkeun-eo) game, which can last for minutes as a display of affection. On KakaoTalk VoiceTalk, it's common to text '나 이제 끊을게' (I'll hang up now) if the other person is typing, to ensure no messages are missed.
The 'Trailing Ne'
When hanging up, say '네~' with a rising and then falling tone to sound more natural and polite.

Hanging up without a closing phrase like '들어가세요' or '끊을게요' can seem very aggressive in Korea.
