What does 저 mean?
저 means "I; me" in Korean.
How it works here
‘저’ is used as a humble way to refer to oneself. Together with the question-like ending that follows, it creates a feeling of asking back, as in “Is it me?”
When it's used
Used when referring to yourself politely without elevating yourself, especially when speaking for the first time, referring to yourself in front of several people, or introducing yourself politely to someone.
The line
승관 저요?
Seungkwan, me?
Used when checking whether someone was speaking to you in a group setting.

Show the answer
I; me
A more polite first-person pronoun than ‘나’ (I). It is usually used with particles, as in ‘저는’ (I), ‘저를’ (me), and ‘저에게’ (to me), but it can also naturally stand alone when referring to yourself to someone. It is appropriate with superiors or in formal situations.
Same expression in other scenes
- 저 — Me/I, as the person who should go first.
