意思
To arrange a meeting or scheduled time with someone.
文化背景
The 'Empty Promise': Koreans often say 'Let's have a meal sometime' (밥 한번 먹자) as a way of saying goodbye. It's not a real {약속|約束} until someone tries to '잡다' (catch) a specific day. In Korean business, it is common to '잡다' an appointment at least a week in advance. Sudden requests are often seen as impolite unless it's an emergency. Koreans use the 'Schedule' feature in KakaoTalk to '잡다' appointments. Once a time is 'caught,' it's shared in the chat room as a formal notice. Older generations might use more formal terms like '선약' (previous engagement), while younger people simply say '약속 있어' (I have plans).
Drop the '을'
In casual conversation, Koreans almost always drop the object marker. Just say '약속 잡았어' instead of '약속을 잡았어'.
Don't say 'Make'
Avoid saying '약속을 만들다'. It's a dead giveaway that you are translating literally from English.

Be Specific
If you really want to meet a Korean person, suggest a specific day immediately after they say 'Let's meet sometime'. This is how you 'catch' the appointment.
