This is one of the most common expressions one says when travelling to a foreign country. Of course, the place is not familiar, and the signs are perhaps not very easy to understand. Don't worry, Koreans are known to be very helpful to tourists. Once you say this phrase, 길을 잃었어요, the locals will be more than willing to help you find your way.
You may have practiced some Korean phrases or expressions for your travel to Korea, but there will be times when you will find it challenging to ask questions or understand the local language. 영어 할 수 있어요? can be very useful! The good news is that many locals know English, but of course, it is still so much more courteous and considerate to speak to them in Korean.
