Question about Korean
I heard that when you meet someone for the first time, it is weird to ask '잘 지냈어요?' so what is the best way to ask "how are you" to someone you first met or you don't know well?

@bebwgd as you may know 잘 지냈어요 can be used between people who they know each other already. Hence 안녕하세요 처음뵙겠습니다 could be used as ‘how are you?’ between ppl meeting first time.
