सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

Nunchi is often called the 'Korean secret to success'. It is taught to children as early as age 3. A child with 'good nunchi' is praised for being well-behaved and considerate. In many Korean companies, employees will not leave the office until their boss does. This is a classic example of '눈치를 보다'. Even if their work is done, they 'look at the nunchi' of the superior. Fans often 'look at the nunchi' of their favorite idols during live streams to see if they are tired or happy, often commenting on their 'nunchi' in real-time.
