معنی
To stop doing something or give up on a task.
زمینه فرهنگی
In the competitive Korean education system, students who '손을 놓다' regarding a specific subject like Math are called '수포자' (Su-po-ja - Math abandoner). It's a common social term. The phrase reflects the communal nature of Korean farming. If one person 'lets go of their hands,' the whole village's work could be delayed, which is why it sometimes carries a nuance of irresponsibility. With the 'Quiet Quitting' trend globally, young Koreans use this phrase to describe doing the bare minimum or mentally checking out from work. Korean calligraphers and painters use the term to describe the moment they stop practicing their craft, often due to old age or a loss of 'Gi' (energy).
