Explanation at your level:

This phrase means people do not like you. You use it when someone is mean to you because of what you did.
Use '미움을 받다' when you are the target of someone's negative feelings. It happens when you act in a way that others do not like, such as being rude or selfish.
This idiom describes the state of being disliked by others. It is often used to explain the social consequences of one's behavior in a group or workplace. It implies that the subject is the passive recipient of aversion.
The phrase denotes the experience of falling into disfavor. It is frequently employed in narratives to illustrate the repercussions of social friction or non-conformity. It highlights the power dynamic where the speaker or subject is marginalized by the collective sentiment of a group.
This construction functions as a sociolinguistic indicator of social alienation. It encapsulates the passive reception of collective antipathy, often serving as a diagnostic for interpersonal conflict. It is structurally rigid, requiring the dative marker to identify the agent of the aversion, thereby emphasizing the subject's vulnerability within a hierarchical or communal structure.
The idiom '미움을 받다' serves as a quintessential example of Korean relational semantics, where the subject's identity is constructed through the lens of external perception. By utilizing the passive '받다', the speaker frames the subject as a locus of negative social valuation. This reflects a cultural paradigm where individual agency is constrained by the necessity of maintaining communal equilibrium, and the failure to do so results in the explicit categorization of the individual as an object of social rejection.
