意味
To ensure that accounts align or to kiss someone.
文化的背景
In Korean dramas, '입을 맞추다' is a common trope in both romantic scenes and legal battles. It reflects the high value placed on loyalty and shared secrets within a group. The emphasis on 'matching' reflects Confucian ideals of social harmony ({화합|和合}). Even if a story is a lie, maintaining the group's unity is sometimes seen as a necessary evil. In modern Korean offices, '입을 맞추다' can be a survival skill. Teams often coordinate their responses to management to avoid individual blame. Korean poetry often uses '입을 맞추다' instead of '키스하다' to create a more traditional and evocative atmosphere.
Context is King
If you are in a restaurant, it's almost never '입을 맞추다.' If you are in a police station or a romantic garden, it probably is!
Don't use with Bosses
Telling your boss '우리 입을 맞췄어요' sounds like you are admitting to a conspiracy. Use '의견을 모았습니다' instead.

よくある質問
10 問Not at all! While it can mean lying, it's also used for positive things like surprise parties or romantic kisses.
Technically yes, but '볼에 뽀뽀하다' is much more common for cheek kisses. '입을 맞추다' usually implies lips.
For the figurative meaning (aligning stories), '말을 맞추다' is slightly more common in modern daily speech, but '입을 맞추다' is very frequent in media and literature.
Use '입에 맞다.' For example: '음식이 제 입에 잘 맞아요.'
The phrase itself is neutral, but the conjugation (맞췄어요 vs 맞췄어) determines the formality.
Only if you are describing a romantic scene in a book. Don't use the 'aligning stories' sense with a teacher unless you are confessing to a prank!
The phrase is native Korean, but the concept of matching is {부합|符合} (bu-hap) or {일치|一致} (il-chi).
It's more specific than 'agree.' It means to *make* your stories agree, usually beforehand.
Yes, the literal and figurative meanings are used in North Korean dialect as well.
No, that would be very confusing! Use '악수했다' for handshakes.
