How do you say What is up in Korean?

There isn't one single perfect translation for "What's up?" in Korean, as the best choice depends on context and your relationship with the person you're talking to. Here are a few options:

* 뭐 해? (mwo hae?): This literally translates to "What are you doing?" It's a very common and informal way to greet someone casually, similar to "What's up?" Use this with close friends and family.

* 뭐 하고 있어? (mwo hago isseo?): This is a slightly more polite and formal version of "What are you doing?". Still informal, but a bit more respectful than just 뭐 해?.

* 잘 지내? (jal jinae?): This translates to "Are you doing well?" or "How are you?". This is a more polite and general greeting, suitable for friends and acquaintances.

* 오랜만이야! (oraenmania!): This means "Long time no see!" and is a suitable greeting if you haven't seen the person in a while.

Which one you use depends on your relationship with the person and the situation. For most casual situations with close friends, 뭐 해? (mwo hae?) is the closest equivalent to "What's up?".
