불성실하다
When someone is 불성실하다 (bulseongsilhada), it means they are not diligent or sincere in their actions. It describes a lack of faithfulness or commitment to a task, a promise, or even a relationship.
For example, if a student doesn't do their homework regularly, they could be described as 불성실하다. Or, if someone is not serious about their work, they are 불성실하다. It implies a sense of being unreliable or not putting in enough effort.
When using 불성실하다 (bulseongsilhada) in everyday Korean, you're essentially saying someone isn't putting in the effort or isn't being genuine. It often describes a lack of diligence, like a student who doesn't study or an employee who doesn't do their work properly. You might also hear it used to describe someone who is unfaithful in a relationship, showing a lack of sincerity or commitment. So, if someone is behaving in a way that suggests they're not serious or committed, 불성실하다 is a good word to use.
When someone is 불성실하다 (bulseongsilhada), it means they lack diligence, sincerity, or faithfulness. This adjective is used to describe a person's attitude or behavior when they are not putting in enough effort, are not genuine, or are not keeping their commitments.
For instance, a student who doesn't study for exams could be described as 불성실한 학생 (bulseongsilhan haksaeng - an insincere/undiligent student). Similarly, if an employee consistently misses deadlines, they might be considered 불성실한 직원 (bulseongsilhan jigwon - an undiligent employee).
It implies a negative judgment on someone's work ethic, commitment to a task, or trustworthiness in relationships.

§ How to Use It in a Sentence
Since 불성실하다 is an adjective, it will conjugate like other descriptive verbs in Korean. Here are the common ways you'll use it:
- Describing a noun: You can attach -은/는 to the stem to modify a noun. Since the stem ends in 하다, it becomes 불성실한.
- As a predicate: You can use it as the main verb of a sentence.
Let's look at some examples to make this clear.
그는 일에 불성실해서 해고당했어요.
- Translation hint
- He was fired because he was insincere at work.
In this example, 불성실해서 uses the -아/어서 connective ending to show cause or reason. It means "because he was insincere."
불성실한 태도는 좋지 않아요.
- Translation hint
- An insincere attitude is not good.
Here, 불성실한 directly modifies the noun 태도 (taedo), meaning "attitude." So, it's an "insincere attitude."
그 학생은 숙제를 자주 안 해서 불성실하다고 선생님께 지적받았어요.
- Translation hint
- That student was pointed out by the teacher as being undiligent because they often didn't do their homework.
In this case, 불성실하다고 uses the -(이)라고 하다 pattern, which is used for indirect quotation or to say something is called a certain way. Here, it means "was referred to as insincere/undiligent."
§ Related Vocabulary
To get a better grasp of 불성실하다, it helps to know its opposite and related terms:
- 성실하다 (seongsilhada): Diligent, sincere, faithful. This is the direct opposite.
- 게으르다 (geeureuda): Lazy. While similar, 불성실하다 emphasizes a lack of sincerity or faithfulness, whereas 게으르다 is more about a lack of effort or being idle. A person can be diligent but still insincere in their efforts, for example.
- 무책임하다 (muchegimhada): Irresponsible. This can be a result of being 불성실하다.
§ Common Situations to Use It
You'll often hear or use 불성실하다 when talking about:

§ Examples of 불성실하다 in use
Let's look at some examples to see how 불성실하다 is used in different sentences:
그는 일에 불성실하다는 평가를 받았다. (He received an evaluation that he was not diligent in his work.)
시험에 불성실한 태도로 임하면 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 없다. (If you approach the exam with an insincere attitude, you cannot get good results.)

§ Understanding the Nuances of "불성실하다"
When you're learning a new language, especially one like Korean that has many subtle distinctions, it's easy to make mistakes. "불성실하다" is one of those words that can trip up learners if they don't grasp its full meaning. It's not just about being "not diligent"; it carries connotations of lacking sincerity, faithfulness, or even being irresponsible. Let's look at some common mistakes and how to avoid them.
§ Mistake 1: Confusing "불성실하다" with just "lazy"
Many learners initially translate "불성실하다" simply as "lazy." While someone who is "불성실하다" might also be lazy, the words aren't interchangeable. "Lazy" (게으르다) often implies a lack of desire to work or exert effort. "불성실하다" goes a step further, suggesting a failure to fulfill one's duties, commitments, or responsibilities, often due to a lack of earnestness or care. It's about not being faithful to one's obligations.
그 학생은 불성실해서 항상 숙제를 안 해요. (That student is unfaithful/undiligent, so they always don't do their homework.)
나는 너무 게을러서 운동을 시작할 수가 없어. (I'm too lazy to start exercising.)
§ Mistake 2: Using it for trivial or one-time incidents
"불성실하다" usually describes a consistent pattern of behavior or a deeply ingrained trait. It's generally not used for a single, minor oversight or a one-off mistake. If someone forgets something just once, or makes a small error, you wouldn't typically call them "불성실하다." It's reserved for situations where there's a repeated lack of commitment or a significant dereliction of duty.
그는 중요한 약속을 계속 불성실하게 어겼다. (He faithlessly/undiligently kept breaking important promises.)
You wouldn't say:
나는 어제 가방을 잃어버려서 불성실하다. (I lost my bag yesterday, so I am undiligent.)
Instead, you might say:
나는 어제 가방을 잃어버려서 부주의했다. (I was careless because I lost my bag yesterday.)
§ Mistake 3: Not understanding the context of "unfaithful"
While "unfaithful" is a valid translation for "불성실하다," it's important to understand the context. It doesn't primarily refer to romantic infidelity, although it *can* be used in that sense in certain contexts (though other words like "바람피우다" are more common for romantic infidelity). More often, it refers to being unfaithful to one's duties, promises, or an organization.
- DEFINITION
- In the context of "불성실하다," "unfaithful" means not adhering to commitments or obligations.
그 직원은 회사에 불성실했다. (That employee was unfaithful to the company.)
§ How to use "불성실하다" correctly
To use "불성실하다" effectively, remember these key points:
- It describes a consistent lack of diligence or sincerity in one's actions or duties.
- It implies a failure to meet expectations or responsibilities due to a lack of earnestness.
- It can mean "unfaithful" in the sense of not upholding commitments or being disloyal to a cause or organization.
- It's a strong word, so use it when describing someone who truly exhibits these traits consistently.
그는 직업에 대한 태도가 불성실하다. (His attitude towards his job is undiligent/insincere.)
그녀는 학업에 불성실해서 성적이 좋지 않다. (She is undiligent in her studies, so her grades are not good.)
By keeping these distinctions in mind, you'll be able to use "불성실하다" more accurately and naturally, helping you sound more like a native Korean speaker. Keep practicing, and don't be afraid to make mistakes – that's how we learn!
Fun Fact
Many Korean words are Sino-Korean, meaning they are derived from Chinese characters. This often makes them sound more formal or academic than pure Korean words.

불성실하다 (bul-seong-sil-ha-da) is an adjective that describes someone or something as not diligent, insincere, or even unfaithful. It's often used to criticize a lack of effort or honesty.

Be careful when using 불성실하다 as it can be quite a strong criticism. It implies a moral judgment about someone's character or actions.
Korean Value of 성실
In Korean culture, 성실 (seong-sil, diligence/sincerity) is a highly valued trait. Therefore, being described as 불성실하다 can be a significant negative evaluation.

KoreanCultural Context
In Korean culture, diligence (성실) is a highly valued trait, especially in academic and professional settings. Therefore, being described as 불성실하다 can carry a strong negative connotation, implying a lack of effort or commitment. It's often used in situations where someone is not fulfilling their responsibilities or promises.
Frequently Asked Questions
10 questionsTo remember '불성실하다', break it down. '불-' is a negative prefix (like 'un-' or 'dis-'). '성실하다' means diligent or sincere. So, '불성실하다' literally means 'not diligent/sincere'. Think of someone who doesn't put in effort.
'불성실하다' is primarily used to describe people or their actions/attitudes. For example, a student can be 불성실한 학생 (an insincere student), or a report can be 불성실한 보고서 (an unfaithful report, meaning it's not thorough or accurate).
Some similar words include 게으르다 (lazy), 성의 없다 (lack sincerity/effort), or 태만하다 (negligent). While similar, each has a slightly different nuance. '불성실하다' specifically points to a lack of diligence or sincerity.
You can use it like any other adjective. For example:
그 학생은 불성실해요. (That student is insincere/undiligent.)
불성실한 태도 때문에 실망했어요. (I was disappointed because of the insincere attitude.)
Yes, '불성실하다' always carries a negative connotation. It describes a characteristic or action that is viewed unfavorably, implying a lack of commitment, effort, or honesty.
While a cheater is certainly '불성실하다' (insincere in their work), '불성실하다' itself doesn't specifically mean 'to cheat'. It describes the underlying attitude that might lead to cheating. For cheating, you'd use words like 부정행위를 하다 (to commit a dishonest act).
They are very similar! '불성실하다' is a single word formed with a negative prefix, while '성실하지 않다' uses the negative auxiliary verb '않다'. Both convey 'not diligent/sincere'. '불성실하다' might feel slightly stronger or more formal in some contexts, but they are often interchangeable.
Yes, it's quite common. You'll hear it used to describe students, employees, or anyone who isn't putting in proper effort or showing sincerity in their actions.
Since '불성실하다' is an adjective, it conjugates like other '하다' adjectives.
Present polite: 불성실해요
Present informal: 불성실해
Past polite: 불성실했어요
Future polite: 불성실할 거예요
Adjective form: 불성실한 (e.g., 불성실한 사람 - an insincere person)
It's less common for inanimate objects in the same way you'd describe a person. However, you could say something like 불성실한 답변 (an insincere/incomplete answer) or 불성실한 보고서 (an unfaithful/inadequate report), implying a lack of thoroughness or honesty in its creation.
