“Eogulhada” (억울하다) — wronged, and unable to prove it

September 24, 2026September 20, 2026 by mataXinfo
억울하다 (eogulhada) word card

The same two hanja mean “depression” in Chinese and Japanese. Korean sent them somewhere else: the pressure of being blamed for something you did not do, in front of people who believe otherwise.
