The phrase "하면 된다" in Korean can have a few different meanings depending on context. Here's a breakdown:

• General meaning: It generally translates to "If you do it, it can be done," "It can be done if you try," or "You can do it." It expresses the idea that something is achievable through effort. The phrase emphasizes the importance of action and perseverance.
• "Just do it" implication: It can be used to encourage someone, similar to the English phrase "Just do it." It implies that action is all that is needed.
