Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Kyejin: 여보세요(yeoboseyo.) is the greeting used in telephone conversations. As for ending a phone conversation, it is not typical in Korean to say “goodbye”. Instead, they will say something like 네, 알겠어요.(ne, algesseoyo.) or 알겠습니다.(algetsseumnida.) meaning "Okay." or "All right."
