Questions & Answers about moduui anjeoneul barapnida.

What does 모두의 mean here, and why is 의 used?

모두 means everyone or all.
Adding 의 makes it possessive, like everyone’s or of everyone.

So:

• 모두 = everyone / all
• 모두의 = everyone’s

In 모두의 안전을 바랍니다, 모두의 안전 means everyone’s safety.

Korean often drops 의 in casual speech, but in a phrase like this, keeping 의 sounds clear and natural.

Why is 안전 followed by 을?

을/를 marks the direct object of the verb.

Here, the verb is 바랍니다 from 바라다, which means to wish for, to hope for, or to desire.

So:

• 안전 = safety
• 안전을 = safety + object marker

That means 안전을 바랍니다 is literally something like (I/we) wish for safety.
