I recently learned that I want to visit my girlfriend who lives in Seoul, South Korea. As I plan my trip, I realized that I don't know how to express my feelings to her in her native language. I have heard that it's customary to exchange love letters or gifts when expressing affection in Korean culture. But what is the actual phrase for 'I love you' in Korean?

In Korean, there are several phrases that convey affection and love. If you want to express that you're 'in love' (), a more casual way is to say . This phrase roughly translates to 'my heart is yours.' If you want to be more formal or express deeper feelings, you could say , which means 'you occupy my entire existence.' For a romantic setting, your girlfriend might appreciate saying to you, meaning 'the warmth of the summer' - a lovely and poetic way to describe the feeling of being in love.
