What Does "Hon-nae-jul-kka?" (혼내줄까?) Mean in Korean?

This expression often carries a protective or playful tone rather than a literal, serious threat, especially when directed at peers or younger individuals. It signifies a willingness to stand up for someone you care about, demonstrating solidarity and support, even if the 'scolding' itself is largely rhetorical. It's a way to express 'I'm on your side'.
