सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Same-Age' Rule: In Korea, you are usually only 'friends' ({친구|親舊}) with people born in the same year. If someone is even one year older, they are a 'Hyung' or 'Noona'. Drinking Culture: Many adult friendships are '사귀다'-ed over dinner and drinks (Hoesik). Sharing a meal is a vital step in the process. Digital Socializing: KakaoTalk is essential. You haven't fully '사귀다'-ed someone until you've exchanged Kakao IDs. In overseas Korean communities, the age rule is often relaxed, and '친구' can refer to a broader range of ages.
The 'Age' Check
When trying to make a friend, don't be offended if they ask your age immediately. They are just trying to figure out if they can '사귀다' you as a 'Chingu' or if they need to use honorifics.
Dating Ambiguity
If you say '우리 사귀자' (Let's associate), it's a romantic confession. To be platonic, say '우리 친구 하자' (Let's be friends).

Food is Key
In Korea, the phrase '밥 한번 먹자' (Let's eat sometime) is the universal first step to '사귀다'-ing someone.
Use '친해지다' for safety
If you're unsure if '사귀다' is appropriate (e.g., with an older person), use '친해지고 싶어요' (I want to get close). It's always safe.
