This set covers words you need at a Korean workplace: the office, meetings, business cards and the daily routine of going to and leaving work. Korean offices often use job titles instead of names, so words like 부장 and 팀장 appear constantly, and people address a boss with the title plus 님. Business cards are exchanged with two hands as a sign of respect. Lunch is often eaten together with coworkers. Use the polite style at work, and watch for the word 야근, which means working late, and 회식, a work dinner.

Mr. Gaon

At work, add 님 after a title to show respect: 팀장님, 부장님. It is the safest way to address people.
