Isseo and eobseo meanings? When I first learned the meanings they were explained as 'to have' and 'to not have' but when I listened to some kpop songs it didn't make sense to me. Is there more than one meaning to them?

I should also say that if you don't learn Hangul, which is fairly easy and only takes a few days to understand, you'll really hinder your ability to learn Korean. Romanization is NOT the way to learn Korean.

You can also think of them as "to exist" and "to not exist".

Hi, Just by itself, they mean exactly as how you described. However, depending on what comes before the "itseo" or "ebseo", the meanings can change:) For example , "ga-go-it-seo" meaning "I am going/ I'm on my way(to that place)"
