In Korea, it is common 
for one person to pay the entire bill, 
especially in formal settings 
or among close friends. 
 
However, 
splitting the bill is becoming more popular, 
especially among younger generations 
and in casual dining scenarios.

When requesting to split the bill, 
ensure the restaurant can accommodate 
such requests, 
as smaller establishments 
may not have the system to do so efficiently.

Mastering this phrase 
will make dining out in Korea easier 
and help avoid awkward payment moments. 
 
Happy exploring!
