Where " 그대 " is used? 안녕하세요 여러분! I've seen the word " 그대 " a lot in song lyrics, meaning " You ". I'm curious about its usage. Like, when and in what kind of sentences it is used? Is it a part of speech in 반말 or it can be also used in 존댓말? Can it replace the word " 당신 " ( which is not a proper word to be used meaning as " you " ) ? I'll be so glad and thankful to receive any information about this word :) 감사해요 ^_^

I also ever ask about it last year. And I found the answer from TTMIK. “그대”, it is only often used in literature like novel, poem and in lyrics in a song. It's never said during a conversation.
