actually there is no such common expression in korea
but we just focus on the sneeze itself and say 감기걸렸어? meaning "did you catch a cold?"

Literally : 당신을 축복합니다.
But in Korea, we don't say "Bless you" when someone sneeze.
Usually, we don't say anything like get well or live long, we try to ignore it

First of all, your question seems to be a very interesting question for me.
When I knew Americans said to someone sneezed like this "bless you" , it was quite strange to me in deed.
I really couldn't understand that meaning.
However, when I knew the reason by the result of the search I smiled at myself.


The answer I know at least in Korea is, " Who talks about you"
The reason is that South Koreans believe that when someone speaks to the others about you, they sneeze.
Even I use this word for my friends and acquaintances.
The origin of the fundamental reason for that is still unknown.
If you tell a Korean " Who talks about you(누가 너 말 한다)" when someone sneeze , you will be surely considered a native speaker. haha..

@Michael_Lee 그건 일본식 표현이에요. 우리나라는 귀가 간지럽다고 표현해요.

For friend.

Sneeze once: Never mind.
Never-ending sneeze: 괜찮아? (Good friend) / 아, 뭐야 감기 옮아~저리 꺼져 (Real friend)

For stranger.

Sneeze once: Never mind.
Never-ending sneeze: Never mind.

we don't have any reply or coment when someone sneezes. so when i heard about "bless you" in english conversation, i thought it's interesting. we just sometimes ask "do u have a cold?" but nothing like a typical comment for sneezing :)

Actually like the person above, there is a term similar to bless you in korean that has long been forgotten by the current generations. It's pronounced "getsch-ne-sae". It was mostly used by our ancestors, so saying bless you is just not a normalized thing in Korea. We may ask if they're alright (usually if that of an acquaintance or friend family), but many if not most are not even aware of the term unless they learned it from somewhere.

@alexington Normally we don't say something special unlike Americans do. But you can say Are you okay? 괜찮아? sometimes when that person looks sick
