意味
To feel weak or nervous, making it difficult to stand or move steadily.
文化的背景
In Korean media, '다리가 풀리다' is often accompanied by a specific physical action: '주저앉다' (slumping down). This is a visual shorthand for 'I am completely overwhelmed.' Traditional Korean views of health often link the legs to the 'Gi' ({기|氣} - energy) of the kidneys. A sudden shock is thought to scatter this energy, leading to physical weakness. Admitting your legs gave out is a way to show vulnerability and the sincerity of your emotion. It's often used to show how much you cared about a situation.
