Meaning

A highly common and offensive Korean swear word that literally translates to baby dog or pup, but functions similarly to son of a bitch or bastard in English. It is used to express extreme anger, contempt, or frustration towards someone. While sometimes used playfully among very close friends, it is generally considered a severe insult.

Korean editor note

문자 그대로 개의 자식을 뜻하며, 사람을 심하게 비하하거나 모욕할 때 사용하는 대표적인 한국어 욕설입니다. 극도의 분노나 경멸을 표현할 때 주로 쓰이지만, 아주 친밀한 사이에서는 격한 친근감의 표현으로 장난스럽게 사용되기도 합니다. 기본적으로 상대방의 인격을 깎아내리는 강한 어조의 단어입니다.
