Bedeutung
To work extremely hard and diligently.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Diligence is highly valued. The phrase is a badge of honor for hard workers. Similar to Korea, 'busy-ness' is often equated with productivity. Focus is more on 'efficiency' than just 'sweat'. Hard work is respected, but work-life balance is also very important.
Use with '뛰다'
It sounds most natural when paired with '뛰다' (to run) or '일하다' (to work).
Don't use for relaxing
Never use this to describe resting or slow activities.
