공격하다
공격하다 في 30 ثانية
- 공격하다 means 'to attack' and is used for physical fights, sports offense, and verbal criticism.
- It is a transitive verb that always requires an object followed by 을 or 를.
- Commonly found in gaming (PC bangs), news (military), and sports (soccer) contexts in Korea.
- The passive forms are '공격받다' or '공격당하다', meaning 'to be attacked'.
The Korean verb 공격하다 (gong-gyeok-ha-da) is a powerful and versatile word primarily translated as 'to attack' or 'to launch an assault.' It is composed of the Sino-Korean roots 공 (攻 - attack) and 격 (擊 - strike), combined with the active verb ending 하다 (to do). While its most literal application involves physical combat or military operations, its usage extends far beyond the battlefield into the realms of sports, gaming, social discourse, and even psychological interactions. In a linguistic context, it is a transitive verb, meaning it almost always requires a direct object—the entity being targeted by the attack.
- Physical and Military Context
- In its most basic form, it describes one entity physically striking or moving against another to cause harm or gain ground. This is the word used in history books to describe wars, in news reports regarding crime, or in nature documentaries describing a predator pouncing on its prey. For example, 'The lion attacks the deer' would use this verb.
- Sports and Competitive Offense
- In the world of sports like soccer, basketball, or martial arts, 공격하다 refers to the offensive play. When a team has the ball and is moving toward the opponent's goal, they are in the 'attack' phase. It lacks the violent connotation here and instead emphasizes strategic initiative and scoring intent.
- Verbal and Intellectual Criticism
- Metaphorically, it is used when someone harshly criticizes an idea, a policy, or a person's character. In a political debate, a candidate might 'attack' their opponent's record. This usage is extremely common in Korean media and formal discussions where conflicting viewpoints are presented aggressively.
사자가 사슴을 공격했다. (The lion attacked the deer.)
Furthermore, the word is frequently paired with adverbs to describe the intensity of the action. You will often hear 무차별적으로 (indiscriminately) 공격하다 or 맹렬히 (fiercely) 공격하다. Understanding these pairings helps learners identify the tone of a situation immediately. Whether it is a computer virus attacking a system or a boxer attacking their opponent's midsection, the core concept remains the same: a directed, purposeful movement to overcome a target.
상대방의 논리를 조목조목 공격하세요. (Attack the opponent's logic point by point.)
- Gaming and Technology
- In IT, a cyber-attack is called '사이버 공격' (cyber attack), and the verb form is '사이버 공간에서 공격하다'. In gaming, the 'A' key usually stands for 'Attack' (공격), making it one of the first words Korean gamers or those playing on Korean servers learn.
Using 공격하다 correctly requires an understanding of Korean particle markers and the transitive nature of the verb. Since it is an action performed by an agent (Subject) upon a target (Object), the standard sentence structure is [Subject] + 가/이 [Object] + 을/를 공격하다. However, depending on the level of formality and the specific context—be it military, sports, or social—the endings and surrounding vocabulary will shift significantly.
군대가 적의 성을 공격하기 시작했습니다. (The army began to attack the enemy's castle.)
- 1. The Object Marker (을/를)
- The most common mistake for beginners is forgetting the object marker. Unlike 'fight' (싸우다), which often uses 'with' (와/과), 'attack' always takes a direct object. You don't attack 'with' someone in the sense of targeting them; you attack them directly.
Example: 괴물을 공격해요 (Attack the monster). - 2. Passive vs. Active
- To say 'to be attacked,' Koreans use the word 공격당하다 (gong-gyeok-dang-ha-da) or 공격받다 (gong-gyeok-bat-da). '당하다' usually implies a negative or harmful experience, while '받다' is more neutral but still common.
Example: 저는 해커에게 공격당했어요 (I was attacked by a hacker).
In formal writing, such as news articles or academic papers, you will see the noun form 공격 (attack) combined with other verbs like 개시하다 (to initiate), 중단하다 (to cease), or 감행하다 (to venture/dare an attack). These combinations provide a more sophisticated tone than simply using the basic verb form. For instance, '공격을 감행하다' suggests a bold or risky attack, whereas '공격하다' is more general.
그 선수는 상대의 약점을 정확히 공격하며 승기를 잡았습니다. (That player seized the chance for victory by accurately attacking the opponent's weakness.)
- 3. Tense Variations
- Past: 공격했다 (Attacked)
Present: 공격한다 (Attacks - plain/narrative)
Future: 공격할 것이다 (Will attack)
Request: 공격해! (Attack! - informal)
The context in which you encounter 공격하다 defines its nuance. In modern South Korea, you are less likely to hear it in a literal physical fight on the street and much more likely to hear it in specific professional or recreational environments. Understanding these domains is key to mastering the word's social weight.
- News and Geopolitics
- Turn on any evening news broadcast (뉴스데스크), and you will hear '공격' mentioned regarding international conflicts. Phrases like '공중 공격' (air attack) or '미사일 공격' (missile attack) are frequent. When a politician criticizes the government's budget plan, the reporter might say, '야당이 정부의 예산안을 강력히 공격했습니다' (The opposition party strongly attacked the government's budget proposal).
- Sports Broadcasting
- Korean sports commentators are known for their high energy. During a soccer match (축구), you will hear them scream, '공격권이 넘어갑니다!' (The right to attack passes over!) or '계속해서 공격하고 있습니다!' (They are continuing to attack!). In this context, it is a positive, exciting term associated with teamwork and skill.
지금 바로 적의 본진을 공격합시다! (Let's attack the enemy's main base right now!)
In professional settings, 공격하다 is used during strategy meetings. A marketing team might discuss how to 'attack' a new market segment (시장을 공격하다). This implies an aggressive, focused business strategy to gain market share. It is also used in legal contexts, where a lawyer might 'attack' the credibility of a witness (증인의 신빙성을 공격하다).
- Variety Shows (예능)
- In popular shows like 'Running Man' or 'Knowing Bros,' cast members often engage in 'verbal attacks'—teasing each other or pointing out embarrassing facts. You will see captions like '공격 개시' (Attack started) when one member starts roasting another. It is used here for comedic effect.
While 공격하다 seems straightforward, English speakers often trip up on its specific Korean usage patterns and how it differs from similar-sounding concepts. Avoiding these common pitfalls will make your Korean sound much more natural and precise.
- 1. Confusing 'Attack' with 'Hit' (때리다)
- Beginners often use 공격하다 when they mean a single physical strike. If you punch a punching bag once, you '때리다' (hit/strike) it. 공격하다 implies a more systematic or intentional effort to overcome a target. Using 공격하다 for a simple accidental hit sounds overly dramatic or like you're in a video game.
- 2. Misusing Passive Forms
- In English, we say 'I was attacked.' In Korean, you cannot simply change the ending of 공격하다 to make it passive. You must use 공격받다 (to receive an attack) or 공격당하다 (to suffer an attack). Using '공격되다' is grammatically possible but rarely used for people; it’s more for abstract concepts like 'the plan was attacked.'
❌ 저는 친구를 공격했어요. (I attacked my friend.)
Another mistake involves the intensity of the word. In English, we might say 'Stop attacking me!' when someone is just being annoying. In Korean, saying '나를 공격하지 마!' sounds like you are in an action movie or a high-stakes debate. For minor personal annoyance, words like 괴롭히다 (to bother/bully) or 시비 걸다 (to pick a fight) are much more appropriate.
- 3. Forgetting the '하다'
- In casual speech, learners sometimes just say '공격!' as a command. While this works in a game, in a sentence, the '하다' is essential for the verb to function. '공격해' is the correct informal command.
Korean has a rich vocabulary for conflict and competition. Choosing the right word instead of just using 공격하다 can significantly elevate your fluency. Here are the most common alternatives and how they differ from the core word.
- 공격하다 vs. 습격하다 (Seup-gyeok-ha-da)
- 습격하다 means 'to raid' or 'to make a surprise attack.' While 공격하다 is a general term for any attack, 습격하다 specifically implies that the target was unprepared. Police raiding a hideout or a wolf raiding a sheepfold would use this word.
- 공격하다 vs. 비난하다 (Bi-nan-ha-da)
- When the 'attack' is purely verbal and involves criticizing someone's mistakes or character, 비난하다 (to criticize/blame) is often more accurate. 공격하다 is used for the act of attacking an argument, while 비난하다 focuses on the moral judgment or blame.
도둑이 은행을 습격했습니다. (The thief raided/ambushed the bank.)
- 공격하다 vs. 반격하다 (Ban-gyeok-ha-da)
- 반격하다 means 'to counterattack.' The root 반 (反) means 'opposite' or 'against.' This is used when you were being attacked first and are now striking back. It is a very common term in sports and action movies.
- 공격하다 vs. 폭행하다 (Pok-haeng-ha-da)
- In a legal or criminal context, if a person physically assaults another person, the term is 폭행하다 (to assault). This is a much heavier, more formal word used in police reports. 공격하다 is too general for a legal description of a physical fight.

Summary
Always remember that <span class='font-bold'>공격하다</span> is an active, purposeful action. Whether you are a gamer attacking a boss (보스를 공격하다) or a debater attacking an argument (주장을 공격하다), you are the one taking the initiative. It is the opposite of '방어하다' (to defend).
- 공격하다 means 'to attack' and is used for physical fights, sports offense, and verbal criticism.
- It is a transitive verb that always requires an object followed by 을 or 를.
- Commonly found in gaming (PC bangs), news (military), and sports (soccer) contexts in Korea.
- The passive forms are '공격받다' or '공격당하다', meaning 'to be attacked'.
Object Markers
Always pair the target with 을 or 를. For example, '적을 공격하다' (Attack the enemy).
Gaming Slang
In games, '공격' is often shortened to '공'. If someone says '공 가자', they might mean 'Let's go attack'.
Word Family
Learn '공격적' (aggressive) alongside the verb to describe people's personalities or strategies.
The 'H' sound
Ensure the 'ha' in '공격하다' is audible; otherwise, it might sound like just the noun '공격'.
