We use this to express that we would do something if we have enough time or chance to do so. For example, we say If I have time/ chance, I will go to Korea (and visit you). The main verb is 한국에 놀라가다 (to go to Korea with an intention to have fun). 시간/기회 되면 comes before it. The actual sentence is 시간/기회 되면 한국에 놀러갈게(요).
