意思
To deliberately look away from someone's eyes, often due to shyness or guilt.
文化背景
In traditional Korean etiquette, looking an elder directly in the eye while being scolded is seen as '대들다' (challenging/talking back). Thus, '눈을 피하다' can be a protective social behavior. In many Western cultures, '눈을 피하다' is seen as a sign of dishonesty or lack of confidence. 'Look me in the eye' is a common demand for honesty. Similar to Korea, avoiding direct eye contact is often a way to maintain 'Wa' (harmony) and avoid confrontation. In some Middle Eastern cultures, avoiding eye contact between opposite genders is a sign of modesty and religious respect.

While polite in some contexts, avoiding eyes in a Korean job interview can make you look untrustworthy.
