What Koreans really mean
This is a highly informal exclamation used primarily between close friends or when talking to oneself. Using this around elders or in professional settings is considered very rude and offensive as it stems from the word for 'insane'. It is commonly used to react to an annoying mistake, a sudden obstacle, or even a shocking piece of news.
💬 Used in real life
• Said when you realize you just missed the last bus of the night.
• Used when you drop your phone and the screen cracks suddenly.
