The '1' on KakaoTalk is a major source of social anxiety. Sending a '문자' and seeing the '1' stay there for hours is a common theme in K-Dramas. Texting is often preferred over calling for non-urgent matters to avoid interrupting someone's work flow, but it must be done politely. Younger Koreans use '문자' less for SMS and more for 'DMs' or 'KakaoTalk', but the verb '보내다' remains the constant. Older generations may still prefer traditional SMS over apps, and they often use very formal language even in short texts.
Drop the 'Message'
In 90% of casual conversations, just say '문자 보내다'. Adding '메시지' makes it sound like a textbook.
Check the Honorifics
If texting a boss or teacher, always use '보내 드립니다' or '보내 드렸습니다'.
