Literal Hello, as for me, I am called Park Minjun.

A warm, formal name introduction. '이라고 합니다' (literally 'I am called') is more natural than just '입니다' when introducing your name in professional Korean settings.

• 저는 = 'as for me'; topic particle 는 attached to 저 (polite first-person 'I')
• 이라고 합니다 = formal name-introduction pattern; N + 이라고 합니다 after a consonant-final name

Literal As for me, from today, I am a sales team member.

States your role and start date in one concise sentence. 부터 marks a starting point in time, and 입니다 is the formal polite copula used in professional speech.

• N + 입니다 = formal present tense copula 'is/am/are'; essential in workplace Korean
• 오늘부터 = 'from today'; 부터 attaches to a time noun to mean 'from (that point)'

Literal I am of Suwon, Gyeonggi Province origin.

출신입니다 is the standard pattern for stating your hometown. The subject 저는 is naturally dropped here, as context makes it clear you are still talking about yourself.

• [Place] + 출신입니다 = set phrase for stating where you are from
• Subject (저는) is often omitted in Korean when context is clear — this is natural, not rude

Literal At university, business administration I majored in.

Uses past tense to share your academic background. 에서 marks the place of the action, 을 marks the direct object, and 했습니다 is the formal past tense of 하다.

• 에서 = location particle used with action verbs ('at', 'in'); not 에, which is used with states
• 전공했습니다 = past tense of 전공하다; formal -았/었습니다 ending signals completed action

Literal After graduation, at a trading company, for 2 years, I was employed.

Describes work history with precise time expressions. 후에 means 'after' and 동안 marks a duration, both commonly used when telling your professional story.

• N + 후에 = 'after N'; 졸업 후에 = 'after graduation'
• 기간 + 동안 = 'for [duration]'; e.g. 2년 동안 = 'for 2 years'
• 근무했습니다 = formal past tense of 근무하다 (to work/be employed); more formal than 일했습니다

Literal In customer service and sales, interest there is a lot.

관심이 많다 is the natural phrase for expressing strong professional interest. 에 marks the target of interest, showing what the interest is directed toward.

• 에 관심이 있다/많다 = 'to have (a lot of) interest in'; 에 is a directional/target particle here, marking what the interest points toward, not the indirect-object particle 에게/한테, which is reserved for animate recipients
• N + 와/과 N = 'N and N'; 서비스와 영업 = 'service and sales'; 와 after vowel-final noun, 과 after consonant-final noun

Literal As for my hobby, it is reading and weekend hiking.

는 on 취미 signals a topic shift to personal information, a natural rhythm in Korean self-introductions. Listing two hobbies with 와 shows how to chain nouns smoothly.

• N + 는 = topic marker; 취미는 = 'as for my hobby'; 는 after vowel-final noun
• A와/과 B + 입니다 = 'is A and B'; lists two items as the predicate in one neat clause

Literal Going forward, diligently I will do.

A culturally important commitment phrase in Korean workplaces. 하겠습니다 uses the formal volitional ending to express sincere intention rather than a factual prediction.

• 앞으로 = 'going forward / from now on'; stock phrase in first-day introductions
• V + 겠습니다 = formal volitional/intentional future; conveys commitment, more personal than -을/ㄹ 것입니다

Literal Having come to work together with all of you on the team, I am truly glad.

게 되다 expresses that something came about naturally or as a result of circumstances, perfect for saying you ended up joining the team. 여러분 is the polite plural address for a group.

• V + 게 되다 = 'to come to do / to have ended up doing'; expresses a natural or resulting change in situation
• 여러분 = polite group address ('everyone / all of you'); appropriate for professional audiences

Literal Going forward, I humbly request your good favor.

A near-mandatory closing phrase in Korean self-introductions. 드립니다 is the humble/respectful form of 합니다, showing deference. No Korean first-day introduction is complete without it.

• 잘 부탁드립니다 = ritualized phrase expressing reliance on the listener's goodwill; its translation is highly context-dependent
• 드립니다 = humble polite form of 합니다; used when the action benefits or is directed toward someone of higher or equal social standing
