뜻이 비슷하기 때문에 둘이 써도 돼요. 근데 차이를 굳이 알고 싶다면 분명히 설명해 볼게요.^^
thinking of= a passing thought, comes to mind, not deep ~생각 나다.
Thinking about= longer and deeper thought

@ra_rabia don’t you agree that one can simply use them both in present tense.
“I am thinking about you”
“I am thinking of you”

@youpiyoupi Yes, I think so. But I think if you want to emphasis somthing, they have a slighty difference meaning. That's how I think as a non native speaker^^
