추진하다
추진하다 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- 추진하다 means to push forward a plan or project.
- It is a formal word used in business and government.
- It implies leadership, momentum, and active management.
- Common objects include plans (계획), projects (사업), and policies (정책).
The Korean verb 추진하다 (推進--) is a powerhouse word in professional and administrative contexts. At its core, it describes the act of applying force or momentum to a specific plan, project, or policy to ensure it moves from the conceptual stage into reality. Derived from the Hanja characters 推 (밀 추 - to push) and 進 (나아갈 진 - to advance), the word literally means to 'push forward.' It is not merely about doing something; it is about the active, often forceful, management of a process to overcome obstacles and achieve a goal.
- Primary Nuance
- The nuance involves administrative or organizational momentum. It is the word of choice for government initiatives or corporate strategies.
- Force and Direction
- Unlike '진행하다' (to progress), '추진하다' implies an external force (a leader, a committee, a government) actively driving the progress.
정부는 새로운 경제 정책을 강력하게 추진하고 있습니다. (The government is strongly pushing forward with a new economic policy.)
In a broader sense, imagine a rocket's propulsion system. The force that sends the rocket into space is '추진력' (propulsive force). When you '추진하다' a project, you are acting as that engine. You are providing the necessary energy, resources, and leadership to ensure the project doesn't just sit there but actually advances toward completion. This word is frequently paired with adverbs like '강력하게' (strongly), '적극적으로' (actively), or '신속하게' (rapidly) to emphasize the intensity of the effort.
우리는 이번 프로젝트를 계획대로 추진할 것입니다. (We will push forward with this project as planned.)
- Common Objects
- 계획 (plan), 사업 (business/project), 정책 (policy), 개혁 (reform), 업무 (task).
Furthermore, '추진하다' implies a sense of responsibility. If a manager is '추진'ing a deal, they are the one answerable for its success or failure. It is a word that carries weight in a hierarchy. In Korean society, where collective effort is valued but leadership is highly respected, being the person who '추진's a successful initiative is a mark of high capability.
그는 탁월한 리더십으로 사업을 추진했다. (He pushed the business forward with excellent leadership.)
Using 추진하다 correctly requires understanding its grammatical environment and the specific types of nouns it likes to 'push.' As a transitive verb, it always takes an object marked by 을/를. The most common objects are abstract nouns representing organized efforts. You don't '추진' a physical object like a chair; you '추진' the *plan* to move the chair.
- Grammatical Pattern
- [Organization/Person] + 이/가 + [Plan/Project] + 을/를 + 추진하다.
One of the most important aspects of using this word is the level of formality. It is a 'High Register' word. You will see it in news headlines, hear it in business meetings, and read it in official documents. If you use it in a very casual setting, like saying 'I am pushing forward with my lunch plans,' it might sound overly dramatic or humorous, as if your lunch is a major government initiative.
신규 브랜드 런칭을 추진하기 위해 팀을 구성했습니다. (We formed a team to push forward with the launch of the new brand.)
When discussing the *speed* or *manner* of the propulsion, Korean speakers use specific adverbs. '강력하게 추진하다' (to push strongly) is perhaps the most common collocation, often used by politicians to show resolve. '차질 없이 추진하다' (to push forward without a hitch) is used to reassure stakeholders that everything is on track. '공동으로 추진하다' (to push forward jointly) is used when two or more entities are collaborating.
In passive or descriptive contexts, you might see the form '추진되다' (to be pushed forward/to be underway). For example, '그 계획은 현재 추진되고 있습니다' (That plan is currently being pushed forward). This shifts the focus from the actor to the project itself. This is very common in status reports where the specific person doing the pushing is less important than the fact that the project is moving.
이 프로젝트는 내년부터 본격적으로 추진될 예정입니다. (This project is scheduled to be pushed forward in earnest starting next year.)
- Verb Tense Usage
- Past: 추진했다 (pushed), Present: 추진한다/추진하고 있다 (is pushing), Future: 추진할 것이다 (will push).
If you turn on a Korean news broadcast like KBS or MBC, you are almost guaranteed to hear 추진하다 within the first ten minutes. It is the bread and butter of political and economic reporting. Journalists use it to describe government actions: '정부가 법 개정을 추진하고 있습니다' (The government is pushing for a revision of the law). It sounds official, purposeful, and authoritative.
뉴스 헤드라인: '정부, 탄소 중립 정책 강력 추진' (News Headline: 'Government strongly pushes carbon neutral policy')
In the corporate world, this word is everywhere. During a '주간 회의' (weekly meeting) or a '발표' (presentation), a manager might ask, '그 사업은 어떻게 추진되고 있나요?' (How is that project being pushed forward?). It implies a need for a progress report. In this context, '추진' is synonymous with 'execution' or 'implementation' but with an added layer of 'driving force.'
You will also encounter this word in academic settings or in formal essays (Suneung or TOPIK II writing). When discussing social changes or historical movements, writers use '추진하다' to describe the organized efforts of groups to change society. For instance, '시민 단체들이 인권 보호를 위한 조례 제정을 추진했다' (Civil groups pushed for the enactment of an ordinance for human rights protection).
회사 차원에서 대대적인 구조 조정을 추진하기로 결정했습니다. (The company decided to push forward with a large-scale restructuring.)
- Common Media Contexts
- Press releases, economic journals, political debates, corporate annual reports.
Lastly, in sports, you might hear about a team '추진'ing a trade or a league '추진'ing a rule change. While the context is sports, the 'pushing' is still administrative. It’s the front office doing the work, not the players on the field. This reinforces the idea that '추진하다' is about the *behind-the-scenes* effort to make things happen on a large scale.
The most common mistake learners make with 추진하다 is using it for physical objects. Because the English translation is often 'push,' a beginner might say '문울 추진하세요' to mean 'Push the door.' This is incorrect. For physical pushing, you must use 밀다. '추진하다' is strictly for abstract concepts like plans, ideas, and projects.
- Wrong
- 차를 추진하다 (Pushing a car - Incorrect)
- Right
- 차를 밀다 (Pushing a car - Correct)
Another mistake is confusing it with 진행하다 (to proceed/progress). While they are related, '진행하다' is more neutral. It just means the process is happening. '추진하다' implies that someone is *making* it happen with effort. If a project is naturally moving along, use '진행하다.' If you are the one fighting to get the budget and the staff to make it happen, use '추진하다.'
Learners also sometimes confuse it with 강요하다 (to force/coerce). While '추진하다' involves a 'push,' it is a professional push toward a goal, not necessarily forcing a person to do something against their will. '강요하다' is negative and interpersonal. '추진하다' is generally positive (or at least neutral) and organizational.
잘못된 사용: 친구에게 공부를 추진했다. (Incorrect: Pushed a friend to study - use '권했다' or '강요했다' instead.)
Finally, watch out for the register. Using '추진하다' when talking about small, personal hobbies can sound a bit arrogant or overly formal. If you say 'I am 추진-ing my weekend hiking trip,' your friends might look at you funny. For personal plans, stick to '계획하다' (to plan) or '준비하다' (to prepare).
Understanding the synonyms of 추진하다 helps you choose the exact right word for the level of intensity you want to convey. The most direct synonym is 실행하다 (to execute/implement). However, '실행하다' focuses on the act of doing, while '추진하다' focuses on the momentum and the process of getting there.
- 진행하다 (To proceed)
- Focuses on the timeline and the fact that things are moving. Less 'forceful' than 추진하다.
- 촉진하다 (To accelerate/promote)
- Focuses on speeding up a process that is already happening. Often used for economic growth or chemical reactions.
Another interesting comparison is with 밀어붙이다. This is a more colloquial and aggressive version of '추진하다.' It literally means 'to push and stick it.' Use this when someone is pushing a plan through despite heavy opposition or in a very forceful, perhaps even reckless, way. '추진하다' is the professional, 'clean' version of this sentiment.
그는 반대 의견을 무시하고 계획을 밀어붙였다. (He ignored opposing opinions and pushed the plan through.)
Then there is 수행하다 (to carry out/perform). This is often used for specific tasks or duties. A soldier '수행's a mission; a researcher '수행's an experiment. It is more about following instructions or completing a defined task, whereas '추진하다' is about the overarching drive to make a large project happen.
Lastly, 전개하다 (to unfold/develop) is used when a campaign or a movement starts to spread out. If you are '추진'ing a marketing plan, the resulting campaign might be '전개'd across the country. '추진' is the engine; '전개' is the unfolding of the map.
