What Koreans really mean

"개" as an intensifier is very common in modern casual Korean, especially among younger generations. While literally meaning "dog," its usage here functions as "super" or "damn" and is generally understood to not carry the negative connotation of "dog" itself. However, it's considered informal and might be inappropriate in formal settings.
