Significado
To arrange to see or encounter a friend.
Contexto cultural
The 'round' system (Cha): Meeting a friend usually involves moving from a restaurant (1-cha) to a cafe or bar (2-cha). Age-based friendship: You only call someone '친구' if they are the same age. Otherwise, they are older/younger siblings. The 'Uri' (We) culture: Meeting a friend is seen as maintaining a collective bond, not just an individual activity. Cafe Culture: Most 'friend meetings' for the younger generation happen in themed cafes or 'Mat-jibs'.
Drop the marker

Age matters
