意思
To be unpleasant or offensive to one's sight or sensibilities.
文化背景
In Korean corporate culture, '눈에 거슬리다' is often used by superiors to indirectly criticize a subordinate's attitude or work without being overly aggressive. It signals that the subordinate needs to adjust their 'Nunchi.' On Korean social media (like Instagram or KakaoTalk), users often use '거슬려' to talk about 'aesthetic fails' or annoying ads. It's a key word in the 'Ganseong' (vibe/aesthetic) discourse. The emphasis on 'proper form' (Ye-ui) means that anything breaking traditional etiquette is '눈에 거슬린다.' This is why elders might use it when seeing young people using slang or being loud.
Use it for Typos
This is the most natural way to tell a colleague there is a small mistake in their work without being mean.
Avoid with Superiors
Telling a boss their tie is '눈에 거슬려요' is very rude. Use '삐뚤어졌어요' (It's crooked) instead.
