Questions & Answers about hoeuiga han sigan hue sijakdwaeyo.
가 is the subject marker, used when you’re simply stating what happens: the meeting is the thing that will start.
- 회의가 한 시간 후에 시작돼요. = Neutral “The meeting starts…”
- 회의는 한 시간 후에 시작돼요. uses the topic marker 는, which often adds a “as for the meeting…” contrast or topic-setting feeling (e.g., maybe other events start at different times).
In many everyday situations, both can work, but 가 sounds like a straightforward factual announcement.
Korean commonly uses the present form to talk about scheduled or near-future events, especially with a time expression like 한 시간 후에. It’s like using “It starts in an hour” in English.
If you want to make the future feeling more explicit, you can also say:
- 회의가 한 시간 후에 시작될 거예요. (will start)
In this kind of announcement, 한 시간 후에 is typically understood as “in one hour (from now)” / “one hour later.” It points to the time that is one hour after the reference point (usually “now” or the time being discussed).
If the reference point was something else, context would clarify (e.g., “after lunch”).
