Real Feeling
What Koreans really mean
This phrase is widely used among friends, colleagues, or acquaintances who share a casual relationship. It acts as an invitation to socialize over drinks, often after work, on weekends, or during celebratory occasions. It's generally a friendly and informal proposal, but it would be considered too casual or even presumptuous if said to a complete stranger or someone significantly older or of much higher status, unless there's a specific context that warrants such a direct invitation.
💬 Used in real life
• Said by a colleague after finishing a long day at work, suggesting they unwind together.
• Used by a friend when planning an evening outing, proposing drinking as an activity.
