The simple translation and dictionary definition for the Korean word 친구 is "friend", but in reality, the word 친구 can have a lot more depth than that. Sometimes (and more traditionally) it's used to just refer to a friend that is the same age as you. And other times, it can also include "friends" of various age groups. That's why the real-life usage of this word can be a little bit tricky to master. Hyunwoo explains this and how to refer to your friends in Korean more naturally.
