सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Empty Promise' (Gong-su-pyo): Saying '또 만나요' or '밥 한번 먹어요' is often a way to show you like the person, even if you don't actually plan a meeting. It's about the feeling (Jeong), not the logistics. In offices, you rarely say '또 만나요' to a boss. You say '수고하셨습니다' (You worked hard) or '내일 뵙겠습니다' (See you tomorrow). '또 만나요' is for clients or colleagues on your level. Young people often use '담에 봐' (short for 다음에 봐) on KakaoTalk. '또 만나요' can sound a bit 'cute' or 'standard' in a text message. When saying '또 만나요', a slight bow of the head is expected to accompany the phrase, especially if the other person is older.
Smile while saying it
In Korean culture, the tone of voice and facial expression carry as much weight as the words. A flat '또 만나요' can sound dismissive.
Watch the hierarchy
Never use '또 만나' (without -yo) with someone older, even if you are friendly, unless they have explicitly told you to use 'banmal'.
