안녕! It's Koreanstudyjunkie. Let's learn how to talk "about" things in Korean. This grammar is very easy to use and doesn't have a ton of rules behind it. There's a short dialogue + practice at the end, so stick around.
N + 에 대해(서) + V = about
Usage: used when the speaker wants to express concern or responsibility for something. The equivalent English words could be " about " for easier understanding.
It is always followed by a verb. -에 대해 is the shortened form of 에 대해서, so there’s no difference.
Examples:
저는 한국 문화에 대해서 많이 알아요.
I know a lot about korean culture
요즘에는 너무 더워서 매일 날씨에 대해 이야기해요.
It's very hot recently so we talk about the weather every day.
저는 한국 음식에 대해 잘 몰라요.
I don't know much about korean food.
우리 오빠는 자동차에 대해서 많이 알고 있어요.
My(our) dad knows a lot about cars.
N + 에 대한 + N
Usage: ~에 대한 holds the same meaning as the standard form, but instead it's followed by nouns and not verbs.
Examples:
한국어에 대한 책
A book about the Korean language
민혁에 대한 소문을 들었어요?
Did you hear the rumors about Minhyuk?
한국으로 이사하는 것에 질문을 자주 받아요.
I often get questions about moving to Korea.
그건 제 질문에 대한 대답이 아니에요.
That is not the answer to my question.
에 관해(서) & 에 관한 can also be used interchangeably in place of 에 대해(서) & 에 대한, however It has a slightly different feel to it than 에 대해.
The big difference is that 에 관해 forms sound more formal/official, sounds stronger too, and It’s less common. Usually used In documents and official writing, but not as often in conversations.
CONVERSATION:
가: 엄마! 왜 갑자기 나와셨어요? 깜짝 놀랐는데요.
나: 앉아. 할 얘기가 있어.
가: 무슨 일이세요?
나: 너 성적에 대해 얘기하고 싶어.

I'm not sure what it link is about Grand Seiko's pink dials, but they seem to be more loved than I'd have expected. The SBGA413 may have link a more soft pink hue, but the demand for that watch leads me to believe the SBGA509 will probably be the more asked after of the releases. The blue dial seems to shift color quite a bit in the light, which also makes link it a versatile option for something between dressy and sporty.
Now that I had a link feel for the device, the uke was easier to get into right away. I began the accompanying link strumming pattern and quickly picked up the link rhythm (remember, I couldn't hear the guitar track while I was doing this).
