When someone talks about their pay, they might use the word 주급. This Korean term refers specifically to a weekly wage or weekly pay. It means you get paid for your work every single week.
For example, if you work at a part-time job, you might receive your 주급 every Friday. It's a common way to talk about how often someone gets paid, especially for jobs where payment is frequent.
When you're working, how often do you get paid? Some people get paid monthly, and others get paid bi-weekly. If you get paid every week, the money you receive is called 주급 (jugup). This word combines '주' (ju), meaning week, and '급' (geup), meaning wage or pay.
It's important to know if your job offers 주급, 월급 (wolgeup - monthly pay), or 연봉 (yeonbong - annual salary). Understanding these terms helps you talk about your income and manage your finances in Korea. So, if you hear someone talking about their 주급, they're referring to their weekly earnings.
Hey everyone! Let's talk about a practical word you'll definitely hear in Korea: 주급 (jugup).
- Definition
- 주급 (jugup) is a noun that means the weekly wage paid for work. Think of it as your paycheck, but specifically for a week's worth of work.
It's pretty straightforward, but understanding when and where you'll encounter this word will really help you use it naturally.
§ At Work
When you're working in Korea, especially in part-time jobs or certain hourly positions, discussing your 주급 is very common. Employers might specify your pay in terms of weekly wages rather than monthly, particularly for roles where hours can vary week to week. You might ask about it during an interview or when signing a contract.
저의 주급은 얼마인가요?
This translates to, "How much is my weekly wage?" – a very practical question to know!
이 아르바이트의 주급은 20만원입니다.
Meaning, "The weekly wage for this part-time job is 200,000 won." This tells you exactly what to expect.
§ In Daily Conversations and Social Settings
While you might not talk about your own 주급 with everyone, you could hear it in casual conversations when people are discussing finances, budgeting, or job opportunities. For instance, if a friend is looking for a part-time job, they might ask about the 주급 of different options.
그 카페는 주급을 준대요.
This sentence means, "That cafe says they pay a weekly wage." It's a common way to express how frequently you get paid.
You might also hear it in discussions about different payment structures:
월급 (wolgeup): Monthly wage (most common)
일급 (ilgeup): Daily wage
시급 (sigeup): Hourly wage
Understanding the difference between these terms is key to navigating financial discussions in Korean. 주급 fits right in the middle, offering flexibility for employers and employees alike.
§ In News and Economic Discussions
While less frequent than monthly wages, 주급 can appear in news articles or economic reports, especially when discussing labor market trends for part-time workers, temporary employment, or specific industries where weekly payments are the norm. When looking at employment statistics or reports on minimum wage impacts, 주급 can be a relevant metric.
최저 주급 인상에 대한 논의가 진행 중입니다.
This means, "Discussions about increasing the minimum weekly wage are ongoing." This kind of sentence is something you might see in a news headline or an economic analysis. It's a precise term for a specific payment period.
So, there you have it! 주급 is a useful term to add to your vocabulary, especially if you're planning to work or just want to understand everyday financial conversations in Korea. Keep practicing these words in context, and you'll sound like a pro in no time!

Basic Meaning of 주급
주급 (jugup) directly translates to weekly pay or weekly wage. It's a combination of 주 (ju), meaning week, and 급 (geup), meaning pay or salary.
Differentiating from Monthly Pay
In Korea, monthly pay (월급 - wolgeup) is more common. 주급 is typically used for part-time jobs or hourly positions. If you're discussing a full-time job, 월급 is usually the term you'll hear.
Using 주급 in a Sentence
You can say: 주급은 얼마예요? (jugup-eun eolmayeyo?) which means How much is the weekly pay? or What's the weekly wage?
Asking About Weekly Pay
When asking about weekly pay in a job interview or with a friend, you might say: 이 일의 주급은 얼마 정도 될까요? (i il-ui jugup-eun eolma jeongdo doelkkayo?) which means About how much is the weekly pay for this job?
Explaining Weekly Pay
If someone asks about your weekly pay, you could respond: 저의 주급은 20만원이에요. (jeoui jugup-eun isipmanwonieyo.) meaning My weekly pay is 200,000 won.
Common Pay Periods in Korea
While 주급 exists, it's less common than 월급 (monthly pay) for full-time employment. Understanding this difference will help you navigate Korean work culture conversations.
Don't Confuse with Hourly Pay
주급 is the total pay for a week. 시급 (sigeup) refers to hourly pay. Make sure you use the correct term depending on what you want to express.
Using 주급 with Verbs
You can use 주급 with verbs like 받다 (batda - to receive): 저는 주급으로 받아요. (jeoneun jugup-euro badayo.) meaning I get paid weekly.
More Formal Contexts
In more formal or business contexts, you might hear 주급 제도 (jugup jedo) which means weekly wage system, referring to the system of paying wages weekly.
Practice Saying 주급
Practice saying 주급 out loud. The '주' (ju) sounds like 'joo' in juice, and '급' (geup) sounds like 'geup' in cup, but with a harder 'g' sound.

많은 프리랜서들이 프로젝트 단위로 급여를 받기 때문에, 규칙적인 ___을 받지 못하는 경우가 많습니다.
Freelancers often don't receive a regular '주급' (weekly wage) because they get paid per project. '수수료' (commission/fee), '인센티브' (incentive), and '로열티' (royalty) are specific types of payments but not synonymous with regular periodic wages.
어떤 회사에서는 직원들의 동기 부여를 위해 기본 ___ 외에 성과에 따른 추가 보너스를 지급합니다.
The sentence describes companies providing additional bonuses based on performance, 'in addition to the basic ___'. '기본 주급' (basic weekly wage) makes sense as the base salary. '근무시간' (working hours), '복리후생' (benefits), and '업무량' (workload) are not 'basic' payments that would be supplemented by a bonus in this context.
