I have gathered that it is much better to use than 당신 when you want a polite form of the second person pronoun, because 당신 can be a very loaded term and sometimes very insulting if not used right...I never use 당신, and almost never hear people use in spoken language at all...you see it in written advertising and on TV dramas sometimes. At the end of the day, the best and most common advice is to avoid using any of the second person pronouns if at all possible. | |
