What Koreans really mean
'빤스런' is a modern, highly vivid slang term in Korean. It combines '빤스' (ppanseu, from English 'pants' or 'underwear') and '런' (reon, from English 'run'). The imagery it evokes is of someone running away so hastily and shamefully that they don't even have their pants on, or are leaving everything behind in a panic. It strongly conveys cowardice and an undignified evasion of responsibility, especially used in contexts where public figures are expected to be accountable.
