Have a Nice Day in Korean: 좋은 하루 되세요
좋은 하루 되세요 = have a nice day. It’s not a replacement for 안녕하세요.
Published on September 14, 2026
Have a nice day = 좋은 하루 되세요 (joeun haru doeseyo). Afternoon: 좋은 오후 되세요.
Use it when leaving (shop, office), not necessarily when arriving. Morning greeting stays 안녕하세요.
