意思
To dedicate a great deal of hard work to something.
文化背景
The 'Education Fever' (교육열) is a prime example of where Koreans 'pour effort.' Parents often pour their life savings and energy into their children's private education (Hagwons). Idol trainees are famous for 'pouring effort' into their dance and vocal practice for years before debuting. This 'effort' is a key part of their branding and story. The concept of 'pouring effort' often translates to long working hours. While changing, the 'overtime culture' was traditionally seen as a visible sign of pouring effort into the company. Korean master craftsmen (In-gan-mun-hwa-jae) are respected for 'pouring effort' into a single craft for decades, embodying the spirit of 'Hon' (soul).
Use '모든' for Impact
Adding '모든' (all) before '노력' makes you sound much more committed and sincere in interviews.
Particle Check
Never forget the '-에' particle for the goal. Saying '공부를 노력을 쏟다' is a very common beginner mistake.

Humility Matters
In Korea, even if you poured a lot of effort, it's common to say '부족하지만 노력을 쏟았습니다' (I am lacking, but I poured in effort) to show humility.
Synonym Swap
If you are writing a formal essay, swap '쏟다' for '기울이다' to sound more academic.
