Christmas is a popular holiday in South Korea. That said, it is also seen as a distinctly Christian holiday. As the holiday approaches, you may wish to greet Korean colleagues with a common greeting. Sae hae bok man i ba deu say yo!
Hint: When speaking, break the greeting into: sae hae bok—mahne—bah deu say yo
Sae hae bok man i ba deu say yo! works well both in person, in a card, text, IM, or an email.
In fact, it is the best seasonal greeting for New Year’s, too.
With the time differences, plan to wish Korea-based friends and colleagues a holiday greeting no later than US/ Canada/ EU on Wednesday, December 23, 2020 …so Thursday Christmas Eve Day AM in Korea.
