意味
An informal farewell used by someone who is leaving to a person staying.
文化的背景
The distinction between 'going' and 'staying' farewells is a hallmark of Korean social etiquette. It shows that you are mindful of the other person's situation. The use of '잘 있어' vs '안녕히 계세요' is a daily exercise in hierarchy. Koreans must constantly evaluate their age and status relative to others before saying goodbye. In KakaoTalk (Korea's main messaging app), '잘 있어' is often shortened to 'ㅈㅇㅇ' or replaced with cute stickers of characters waving goodbye while staying in bed. When leaving a Korean home, the host often follows the guest to the door. The guest says '잘 있어' as they step out, and the host says '잘 가' until the guest is out of sight.
The 'Go' Rule
If you see their back, say '잘 가'. If they see your back, say '잘 있어'.
Hierarchy Matters
Never use this with people older than you unless you are very close and they have allowed 'Panmal'.

Waving
Koreans often wave with their palm facing the other person and moving side to side while saying this.
