Literally meaning 'to put strength in one's neck', this idiom comes from the physical manifestation of arrogance or pride where a person might stiffen their neck or hold their head high to convey a sense of superiority. The neck (목) is often associated with pride and dignity in Korean culture, and 'giving strength' or 'putting strength' (힘주다) into it metaphorically represents an outward display of self-importance or defiance. This idiom has been in use for a considerable period, reflecting a cultural understanding of non-verbal cues associated with haughtiness.
