How to say 'good bye' in korean?

The most informal way of saying good bye is 안녕. 안녕 serves for both hello and bye but don't forget. Its informal.

If we talk about formal way, there are two cases.

(1)If you are at a gathering or at someone's house and you have to leave, you would say 안녕히 계세요.
안녕히 계세요 = stay well (in other words its stay safe, stay healthy)

(2) If you are at a gathering or you invited someone over and they ate leaving, you would say 안녕히 가세요.

Remember what 가 means? If we add -세요 to 가, it become 가세요.

안녕히 가세요 = go well (in other words its may your journey back goes well/safe)

Now this is not all. If you want to sound more like a native speaker, following are the phrases you should look at.

Remember that these are casual/informal.
잘 가(요) - go well
간다 - (I'm) Going!
갈게(요) - I'll get going
이따 봐(요) - see you later
다음에 봐(요) - see you next (time)
다음 시간에 봐(요) - see you next time

We will learn these in detail later on. Skip it now if you want, we will come back here.
