What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of 시청 (watching/viewing), –해 주셔서 (because you did [the favor of] doing) and 감사합니다 (thank you).
Which one should you use?
While 시청해 주셔서 감사합니다 is the standard formal version, 시청해 줘서 고마워 is the casual version used with friends or a very young audience.
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
시청해 주셔서 감사합니다 is highly formal and polite, making it suitable for professional broadcasts, YouTube endings or public presentations. For a colloquial and informal way to convey gratitude, you can use 잘 봤어. Another formal way to show appreciation is by acknowledging the time and effort the viewers spent watching by saying 보시느라 고생하셨습니다.
How does it change in a sentence?
In the phrase 시청해 주셔서, the suffix –어서/아서 functions as a causal connector meaning "because" or "since".

Did you know?
- If you use the phrase 보시느라 고생하셨습니다, you are literally telling your viewers that they 'suffered' or 'went through hardship' to watch your content. It is a way of empathizing with the time and effort the audience spent.
- The root word 감사 (thanks) uses Chinese characters (Hanja) that literally mean 'to feel' and 'to thank'. This makes it a more formal and 'weighted' expression than the native Korean word for thanks, 고마워.
- The phrase 시청해 주셔서 감사합니다 uses the 하십시오체 style, which is the same rigid speech level used by soldiers when addressing superiors in the military.
