What is the difference between be and get when we use the passive voice? We can form the passive voice with either the be + past participle or get + past participle. What is the difference between these? Let's go over some examples and rules.
수동태를 쓸 때 be동사와 get 동사의 차이점이 무엇일까? be+pp, 또는 get+pp로 수동태를 만들 수 있다. 이들의 차이점이 무엇인지와 예, 법칙들을 살펴보자.

The basic use of be for the passive voice

수동태에서의 be동사 기본 사용

We can use the verb 'be' for the passive voice. This is the verb we usually use to talk about something passively. For example,
수동태를 만들기 위해 be동사를 사용한다. 보통 무언가 수동적인것을 말할 때 사용한다. 예를 들어,

This book was written by Stephen King. (Stephen King wrote this book.)
The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. (Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.)

The basic use of get for the passive voice

수동태에서의 get동사 기본 사용

We can also use the verb get in the exact same way. For example,
위의 be동사와 같은 방법으로 get동사를 쓸 수 있다. 예를 들어,

I got hit by a car. (A car hit me.)
He got dumped by his girlfriend. (His girlfriend dumped him.)

be vs. get

So, if we can use both be and get to talk about the passive. What is the difference between the two? Is there a difference?
그럼, be와 get을 모두 사용할 수 있다면 이 두가지의 차이점은 무엇이고, 차이점이라는게 있을까?

Well, yes there is a small difference. When we use the verb be, it is for slower, more planned activities. For example, was written, was painted, was directed (a movie), etc...
답은 '그렇다'이다. 약간의 차이가 있다. be동사를 사용할 때는 좀 더 느리고, 계획된(예정대로의) 활동들을 말할 떄 사용한다. 예를 들어, 쓰여졌다. 그려졌다. (영화가 누군가에 의해)감독되어졌다. 등등 

When we use the verb get, is for more immediate or unplanned activities. It also sounds more dynamic. For example, got hit, got attacked, got dumped, etc...
get동사를 사용할 때는 더 즉각적이거나 계획되지 않은 활동들을 말할 때 쓰인다. 게다가 좀 더 역동적이고 활발한 느낌 또한 준다. 예를 들어, 치이다. 공격받다. 차이다. 등등  

If something happened a short time ago, we often use get. For example,
어떠한 일이 짧은 시간간격 전에 일어났다면 주로 get을 사용한다. 예를 들어,

I got hit by a car last night. 어제밤
I was hit by a car 5 years ago. 5년전

You are always correct using the be verb, but it might sound better and more active if you use the get verb.
be동사를 사용해도 항상 맞는 말이지만, get동사를 사용하면 좀더 나아보이고 활동적이어 보인다.
