Korean students are often hesitant to say '이해가 안 돼요' in large lectures to avoid interrupting. They usually ask the TA or friends later. Characters often use '이해가 안 가네' when they are frustrated by another character's romantic choices. On the internet, people use '이해불가' (Understanding impossible) as a hashtag for weird or funny photos.
