Significado
To exert earnest and diligent effort towards a goal.
Contexto cultural
The 'Noryeok' culture is central to the Korean identity, often linked to the 'Pali-pali' (hurry-hurry) culture and the drive for excellence. Using this phrase shows you understand the value of hard work. In Korean companies, showing 'visible effort' is often as important as the result. '노력을 기울이다' is a key phrase in performance reviews. In traditional Korean crafts like pottery or calligraphy, the artist is said to 'tilt their heart' (마음을 기울이다) into the work, which is a variation of our phrase. While 'Noryeok' is respected, there is a growing dialogue about 'burnout.' Using this phrase in a mental health context often implies a need for balance.
Use with '지대한'
To sound like a native professional, use '지대한 노력을 기울이다' (to exert immense effort). It's a very common high-level collocation.
Don't over-use
If you use this for every small thing, you'll sound like you're trying too hard or being overly dramatic.

The 'Jeongseong' factor
Koreans value the 'heart' behind the effort. Mentioning your '노력' in an interview is good, but showing your '정성' (sincerity) is better.
