意味
To be shameless or brazen; to have no sense of embarrassment.
文化的背景
In Korea, 'face' (Chemyeon) is a collective asset. Being called 'thick-skinned' implies you were raised poorly or lack basic human empathy (Inseong). While '얼굴이 두껍다' is negative, some career advice suggests having a 'thick face' to survive office politics, though they usually use the term 'mentally strong' instead. Villains in K-dramas are often described as 'Cheol-myeon-pi' (iron-faced) when they commit crimes and show no remorse in court. Confucianism emphasizes 'Ye' (etiquette). A thick face is the opposite of 'Ye,' as it shows a lack of self-reflection and shame.
Direct Insult
Calling someone '얼굴이 두껍다' to their face is a fight-starter. Use it carefully.
The '도' Trick
Add '도' (얼굴도 두껍다) to sound more like a native speaker when expressing disbelief at someone's audacity.
