What does 담당 구역 mean exactly?
담당 구역 is a noun phrase meaning the area/zone one is responsible for.
- 담당 = being in charge of something, responsibility, assignment
- 구역 = area, zone, section
So 담당 구역 is not just any area; it is the assigned area or the area under one’s responsibility.
Why is there an 을 after 담당 구역?
The 을 is the object marker.
