To be cold-hearted and merciless.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The phrase reflects the high value placed on 'Jeong' (social affection). Lacking blood and tears is seen as a rejection of the basic human duty to care for others. Sharing the same idiom, Japanese culture also emphasizes the 'warmth' of human relations (Ninjo). While Koreans use this phrase as a critique, some Western business contexts might see 'cold-bloodedness' as a sign of professional strength, though this is changing.
