सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Lunch Menu Dilemma' (메뉴 결정 장애) is a real social phenomenon. Groups often spend several minutes discussing where to go after saying '점심 먹으러 가자'. The 'Maknae' (youngest person) is often expected to scout for a place to go eat lunch or run ahead to grab a table for the group. After going to lunch, it is almost mandatory to go for a 'Sik-hu Coffee' (post-meal coffee). The phrase '점심 먹으러 가다' often implies this entire 1-hour ritual. On apps like Baemin (food delivery), the phrase is adapted to '점심 시켜 먹다' (ordering lunch to eat), reflecting the rise of delivery culture.
Drop the '을'
In casual conversation, Koreans almost always drop the object marker. Just say '점심 먹으러 가자'.
Watch the Hierarchy
If you are the youngest, wait for the senior person to say '점심 먹으러 갑시다' before you stand up.

The 'Menu' Follow-up
Always have a menu suggestion ready. After saying this phrase, the next question is always 'What are we eating?'
Implicit Invitation
If someone says this while looking at you, they are inviting you. Don't just say 'Okay, bye!'
