Significado
To fall out of favor or displease someone, losing their good opinion.
Contexto cultural
In Korean companies, '눈 밖에 나다' can lead to 'quiet firing' or being sidelined from important projects. Maintaining a good relationship with superiors is often as important as technical skills. The idiom reflects the 'Eye of the Superior'. In a hierarchical society, the gaze of the elder or leader validates the subordinate's existence and value. On the Korean internet, celebrities who have 'fallen out of favor' with the public due to scandals are said to be '눈 밖에 났다'. This often leads to boycotts. Korean students are very sensitive to being 'outside the eye' of their teachers, as teacher evaluations can affect university admissions.
Use with Superiors

Perguntas frequentes
10 perguntasNo, it's a standard idiom. However, saying it directly to the person who is displeased with you might be awkward. It's usually used to talk about a situation to a third party.
Yes, but only if the friend is very influential in the group or if the 'falling out' is significant. For small fights, it sounds too dramatic.
'찍히다' is much more casual and slangy. '눈 밖에 나다' is more descriptive and can be used in professional settings.
It becomes '눈 밖에 났다' (nun bak-ke nat-da).
Yes, if you are the one who is displeased with someone else. '그 사람이 내 눈 밖에 났다' means 'I no longer like that person.'
Extremely often! Especially in office or school-themed dramas where hierarchy is a major plot point.
Not necessarily, but it's often the first step toward being fired or having a very hard time at work.
Technically yes, if your dog did something to make you angry, but it's mostly for humans.
Usually no particle, or the possessive '의' after the person (e.g., 선생님의 눈 밖에).
