The literal meaning of '처음 뵙겠습니다.' [choum poepgetsumnida] is 'it's my first time meeting (with) you.' Thus, this expression is used only when you meet someone for the first time. '만나서 반갑습니다[Manna-so pangapsumnida]'(I'm pleased to meet you) is another expression that can be used in a similar context. These expressions are used mostly in formal conversational situations '또 뵙겠습니다.[Tto poepgetsumnida]' is an expression that can be used to mean 'Let's meet again.'
