뒷받침하다
뒷받침하다 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- 뒷받침하다 is a formal Korean verb meaning 'to support' or 'to back up' with evidence, data, or resources.
- It is commonly used in academic, legal, and professional contexts to link a claim to its supporting facts.
- The word can also refer to material or financial support that allows someone or something to succeed.
- Its passive form is 뒷받침되다, meaning 'to be supported' or 'to be substantiated' by something else.
The Korean verb 뒷받침하다 is a sophisticated and essential term for anyone aiming to master professional or academic Korean. At its core, the word means 'to support,' but it carries a specific nuance of providing the necessary evidence, data, or secondary assistance to make a primary statement or situation valid and stable. It is a compound verb formed from 뒤 (back) and 받침 (support/prop), literally meaning 'to support from the back.' Imagine a heavy shelf that needs a bracket underneath it to stay on the wall; that bracket is the 받침. In the world of ideas, your evidence is that bracket.
- Core Concept
- Providing a logical or physical foundation that prevents a claim, theory, or person from failing or being dismissed. It is about validation and reinforcement.
- Primary Context
- Used extensively in academic writing (research papers), legal proceedings (evidence for a case), journalism (sources for a story), and high-level business presentations.
신뢰할 수 있는 데이터가 그의 가설을 강력하게 뒷받침한다.
— Reliable data strongly supports his hypothesis.
In Korean society, where logical consistency and objective proof are highly valued in formal settings, using 뒷받침하다 signals that you are thinking critically. It is not merely about liking an idea; it is about proving it. When a politician makes a promise, the public asks if there is a budget to 뒷받침하다 that promise. When a scientist proposes a new law of physics, they need experimental results to 뒷받침하다 their findings. It is the difference between a mere opinion and a substantiated fact.
Furthermore, the word can be used for people or organizations. For example, a company might provide financial support to 뒷받침하다 a talented athlete's training. Here, it implies providing the resources necessary for the athlete to succeed. It creates a picture of a 'silent supporter' who stays in the background but is absolutely vital for the success of the person in the foreground. This architectural metaphor is key to understanding why the word feels more 'solid' than other synonyms for support.
부모님의 희생이 나의 성공을 뒷받침해 주었다.
— My parents' sacrifice supported my success.
When you use this word, you are often dealing with the relationship between an 'effect' (the success or the claim) and its 'cause' or 'foundation' ( the support). In Korean grammar, the support (the evidence or the person helping) usually takes the subject marker -이/가, while the thing being supported takes the object marker -을/를. Alternatively, the thing being supported can be the subject in a passive construction: 뒷받침되다 (to be supported/backed).
- Visual Metaphor
- Think of the 'backrest' of a chair. It is behind you, often unseen, but it allows you to sit upright and stay stable for a long time.
Using 뒷받침하다 correctly requires understanding its transitive nature. In most sentences, you will identify a piece of evidence or a resource and describe how it supports a specific claim or person. Because this word is frequently used in formal writing, it often appears in the plain form (-ㄴ다/-는다) or the formal polite form (-습니다).
충분한 증거가 없으면 당신의 주장을 뒷받침하기 어렵습니다.
— Without sufficient evidence, it is difficult to support your claim.
One common pattern is [Evidence] + 이/가 + [Claim] + 을/를 + 뒷받침하다. This structure is the backbone of logical argumentation in Korean. For example, if you are writing an essay about climate change, you might write: 여러 연구 결과가 지구 온난화의 위험성을 뒷받침하고 있다 (Multiple research results are supporting the danger of global warming). Here, the research results are the active agent doing the supporting.
- Common Objects
- 주장 (Claim/Argument)
- 이론 (Theory)
- 가설 (Hypothesis)
- 사실 (Fact)
- 활동 (Activity/Training)
Another frequent usage involves the passive form 뒷받침되다. This is used when the focus is on the claim itself rather than the evidence. For example: 그의 이론은 과학적 근거에 의해 뒷받침되고 있다 (His theory is being supported by scientific grounds). This passive construction is very common in news reports and academic papers where objectivity is prioritized.
정부는 중소기업의 성장을 정책적으로 뒷받침해야 합니다.
— The government must support the growth of small businesses through policy.
In business contexts, 뒷받침하다 is often used when discussing the feasibility of a project. If a manager asks, 'How will we fund this?' they are essentially asking for the financial resources to 뒷받침하다 the project. You might hear: 회사의 자금력이 신규 사업을 뒷받침할 수 있을까요? (Can the company's financial power support the new business?). This usage highlights the 'resource' aspect of the word, which is just as important as the 'evidence' aspect.

- 강력하게 (Strongly) 뒷받침하다
- 논리적으로 (Logically) 뒷받침하다
- 객관적으로 (Objectively) 뒷받침하다
- 충분히 (Sufficiently) 뒷받침하다
You will encounter 뒷받침하다 in environments where information is being analyzed, debated, or reported. It is a staple of the 'formal' Korean register. If you turn on a news broadcast like KBS or MBC, you will likely hear it within the first ten minutes, especially during segments on economics, law, or science.
검찰은 피의자의 혐의를 뒷받침할 결정적인 증거를 확보했다고 밝혔습니다.
— The prosecution stated they have secured decisive evidence to support the suspect's charges.
In a university setting, this word is used by professors and students alike. During a lecture, a professor might say, 이 이론을 뒷받침하는 사례를 들어보세요 (Please give an example that supports this theory). When writing a thesis (논문), students are constantly reminded that every claim must be '뒷받침' by citations and data. It is the gold standard for academic integrity in the Korean educational system.
In corporate culture, it appears during strategy meetings. Executives look for '데이터에 기반한 뒷받침' (support based on data). If a marketing team suggests a new campaign, they must present market research that 뒷받침하다 the potential success of that campaign. It is a word that builds trust in a professional environment. If someone says their plan is '충분히 뒷받침되어 있다' (is sufficiently supported), it means the plan is well-thought-out and carries low risk.
기술력이 뒷받침되지 않으면 마케팅만으로는 한계가 있습니다.
— If technological prowess does not provide support, there are limits to marketing alone.
Lastly, you might hear it in sports commentary or documentaries. When a documentary discusses a historical event, the narrator might mention how recent archaeological finds 뒷받침하다 ancient records. In sports, a commentator might say a team's victory was 뒷받침되었다 by their goalkeeper's incredible performance. In all these cases, the word points to the 'silent force' that makes the main event possible or believable.

One of the most frequent mistakes learners make is confusing 뒷받침하다 with simpler verbs for 'help' or 'support,' such as 돕다 or 응원하다. While 응원하다 means to cheer for someone emotionally, 뒷받침하다 is about providing the structural or logical means for them to succeed. You wouldn't say you '뒷받침하다' a friend who is sad; you '위로하다' (comfort) or '돕다' (help) them.
❌ 저는 친구의 슬픔을 뒷받침했어요.
✅ 저는 친구의 슬픔을 위로해 주었어요.
— Mistake: Using 'support' for emotional comfort.
Another mistake involves the direction of the action. Remember that the evidence supports the claim. Learners sometimes reverse the particles. For example, saying 'The claim supports the evidence' is logically backwards in most contexts. Ensure that the thing providing the support takes the -이/가 particle and the thing being supported takes the -을/를 particle.
- Particle Confusion
- Correct: 증거(가) 주장을 뒷받침하다. (Evidence supports claim.)
- Incorrect: 주장(이) 증거를 뒷받침하다. (Claim supports evidence - usually wrong.)
Learners also tend to use 뒷받침하다 in overly casual settings. While it isn't 'wrong' to use it with friends, it can sound unnaturally stiff. If you are just agreeing with a friend's opinion, 맞아 or 내 말이 그 말이야 is much more natural. Save 뒷받침하다 for when you are actually citing a reason or providing a resource to help them achieve something specific.
Finally, some learners confuse it with 지지하다. While they are close synonyms, 지지하다 often implies personal or political endorsement (e.g., supporting a candidate), whereas 뒷받침하다 emphasizes the factual or material basis of that support. If you support a candidate because of their policies, the policies 뒷받침하다 your decision to 지지하다 the candidate.
❌ 이 데이터는 제 의견을 지지해요.
✅ 이 데이터는 제 의견을 뒷받침해요.
— Mistake: Using 'endorse' when 'provide evidence for' is meant.
To truly master 뒷받침하다, you should know how it compares to its synonyms. Each word has a slightly different 'flavor' and is used in different contexts. By choosing the right one, you can make your Korean sound more precise and natural.
- 지지하다 (To Support/Endorse)
- More common in politics or personal opinions. It means to stand by someone or something.
Example: 나는 그의 의견을 지지한다. (I support/agree with his opinion.) - 증명하다 (To Prove)
- Stronger than 뒷받침하다. It means to provide absolute proof that something is true.
Example: 과학자들이 그 이론을 증명했다. (Scientists proved the theory.) - 입증하다 (To Substantiate/Verify)
- Very formal. Often used in legal or scientific contexts to show that a claim is verified by evidence.
Example: 혐의를 입증할 증거가 부족하다. (There is a lack of evidence to verify the charges.)
While 뒷받침하다 focus on the 'foundation,' 보강하다 (to reinforce) focuses on making something already existing even stronger. If you have an argument and you add more facts to it, you are 보강하다-ing your argument. If the facts are the very thing that makes the argument possible, you are 뒷받침하다-ing it. The difference is subtle but important for advanced learners.
근거를 제시하여 주장을 강화하다.
— To strengthen a claim by presenting grounds (Alternative phrasing).
In some cases, you might use 토대를 마련하다 (to lay the foundation). This is used when you are starting something new and providing the base for it. 뒷받침하다 is more about the ongoing support that keeps the structure standing. For example, 'The government's investment laid the foundation (토대를 마련했다) for the IT industry, and continued policy support (정책적 뒷받침) keeps it growing.'

سوالات متداول
10 سوالGenerally, no. For emotional support, '정서적 지지' or '위로' is better. '뒷받침하다' implies a more logical, material, or structural foundation. For example, you wouldn't say 'I 뒷받침하다 my crying friend,' but you could say 'My family's support (뒷받침) helped me get through the hard times' in a more formal context.
No, it is used in speaking too, but mostly in formal situations like presentations, debates, or news reporting. In casual daily life, people might use it when talking about financial support from parents or the government, but it sounds a bit stiff for simple favors.
It is the difference between active and passive. 'A가 B를 뒷받침하다' means A supports B. 'B가 A에 의해 뒷받침되다' means B is supported by A. Use the passive when you want to focus on the claim or the person being helped.
Yes! '뒷받침' is a very common noun. You can say '경제적 뒷받침' (economic support) or '든든한 뒷받침' (reliable support). It functions like 'backing' or 'support' in English.
It sounds a bit like you are in a formal debate. If you are just talking, '내 편 좀 들어줘!' (Take my side!) or '내 말이 맞다고 해줘!' (Tell them I'm right!) is more natural among friends.
Not at all. In fact, inanimate objects like '데이터' (data), '증거' (evidence), or '사실' (fact) are more common subjects for this verb in academic and news contexts.
In a computer context, you use the loanword '백업하다' (back up). '뒷받침하다' is not used for computer data backups.
The most direct logical opposite is '반박하다' (to refute) or '부정하다' (to deny). If evidence doesn't support a claim, it might '반박' the claim instead.
Yes! A coaster is called a '컵 받침'. Both use the root '받침' (support/prop). '뒷받침' just adds the 'back' (뒤) part to imply support from behind or as a foundation.
Use it when introducing evidence for your opinion. For example: '이러한 주장을 뒷받침하는 근거는 다음과 같다.' (The grounds supporting this claim are as follows.) This is a very high-level sentence structure.

Summary
The key takeaway is that 뒷받침하다 implies a necessary foundation. While other words mean 'help,' this word specifically means providing the evidence or resources without which a claim or project would fail. Example: '강력한 증거가 그의 무죄를 뒷받침한다' (Strong evidence supports his innocence).
- 뒷받침하다 is a formal Korean verb meaning 'to support' or 'to back up' with evidence, data, or resources.
- It is commonly used in academic, legal, and professional contexts to link a claim to its supporting facts.
- The word can also refer to material or financial support that allows someone or something to succeed.
- Its passive form is 뒷받침되다, meaning 'to be supported' or 'to be substantiated' by something else.
Use in Academic Writing
Whenever you cite a source in a Korean essay, use '뒷받침하다' to explain how that source helps your argument. It shows you understand logical structure.
Pair with '근거'
The word '근거' (grounds/basis) is the best friend of '뒷받침하다'. Practice using them together: '근거를 뒷받침하다'.
Passive Voice for Objectivity
In scientific or news contexts, use '뒷받침되다' to sound more objective. It removes the 'actor' and focuses on the facts.
Parental Support
If you want to thank your parents formally for their help with your studies, '부모님의 뒷받침' is a very respectful and appropriate term.
مثال
연구 결과가 그의 가설을 강력하게 뒷받침한다.
