Why is 'ㅇ' sometimes silent in korean writing?
I wonder why the korean character 'ㅇ' sometimes is silent in writing? Why do you place it in, for example, '잘 지내요?' ? I mean, there is no 'ng' in jal jinaeyo...

In the bottom of syllables, this character is like the English ‘ng’ without the ‘g’ sound. At the beginning of syllables, this character is just a place marker and has no sound.
For example in 안녕하세요 (annyeoNGhaseyo), there are three ㅇ's notice that there is a ㅇ at the beginning of the block 안, at the end of the second block/syllable 녕, and at the end of the word 요?
*** The first and last syllable/blocks, the ㅇ is silent and only the vowel is sounded. In the second the syllable the ㅇmakes the "NG" sound.
**Hope I didn't confuse you! ^-^ 행운을 빕니다!

The extra "ㅇ" or "ㅁ" is nasal accent and kind of cute way of speaking in slang.
For example: 뭐행, 뭐햄 (which mean 뭐해)

ㅇ is always silent if it's the first letter in the syllable. Syllables always start with a consonant, so if you just want to write or say a vowel, you need to put ㅇ first.
아 = A
앙 = Ang
