¹회식 company dinner after work
²정하다 to decide

회식, or company dinner, is an integral part of Korean corporate culture. Traditionally, it is seen as an extension of the workday, where colleagues gather after hours to strengthen relationships, discuss work-related matters, and simply unwind.
These gatherings typically involve a group meal at a restaurant, accompanied by alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages. While 회식 can be a fun social event, it also carries certain social expectations and hierarchical structures that reflect Korean society.
This 회식 culture is common in other settings like colleges, local communities, and hobby clubs. Recently, diverse kinds of 회식 have emerged, such as movie nights, musical outings, or book-sharing coffee times.
