How to describe what you do, who you work with, and what you're in charge of β€” professionally and naturally.
πŸ”Š
Iru Helper Note
In Korean introductions, people often state their team and main responsibility together: "λ§ˆμΌ€νŒ…νŒ€μ—μ„œ μ½˜ν…μΈ λ₯Ό λ‹΄λ‹Ήν•˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš”." (I work in the marketing team and handle content.) This combination β€” team + role β€” is the natural Korean way to introduce your work.
μ €λŠ” λ””μžμΈνŒ€μ—μ„œ λΈŒλžœλ“œ 아이덴티티λ₯Ό λ‹΄λ‹Ήν•˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš”.

πŸ’¬ Conversations in Action

Conversation 1 β€” At a networking event
A: μ–΄λ–€ 일 ν•˜μ„Έμš”?
(What kind of work do you do?)

🌏 Cultural Note β€” λ‹΄λ‹Ή and μ—­ν•  in Korean Work Culture

In Korean companies, λ‹΄λ‹Ή (being in charge / being responsible for) is a crucial concept. It's common to ask λ‹΄λ‹Ήμžκ°€ λˆ„κ΅¬μ˜ˆμš”? (Who's the person in charge?) before starting any conversation. Clearly stating your λ‹΄λ‹Ή when introducing yourself immediately signals professionalism and makes it easy for others to know when to come to you. Don't undersell your role β€” Koreans value clarity over humility in professional introductions.
