意思
To be unpleasant to hear, annoying, or offensive.
文化背景
In Korean office culture, expressing that a superior's words are '귀에 거슬린다' is a very bold move. It is usually only said in private to trusted colleagues. The phrase is often used in TV news or editorials to criticize 'empty promises' or 'harsh political rhetoric' that lacks sincerity. In K-Pop fandoms, this phrase might be used to describe 'anti-fans' or 'haters' whose comments are seen as noise that disrupts the harmony of the fandom. Traditional Korean music (Gugak) sometimes uses sounds that might '거슬리다' to an untrained ear, but are actually intentional expressions of 'Han' (sorrow).
Use it for 'Cringe'
In modern contexts, if someone is acting 'cringe' on TV, you can say their voice or acting is '귀에 거슬린다'.
Watch your Formality
Telling someone directly 'Your words are grating' (말씀이 거슬려요) is very aggressive. Use it to describe *sounds* directly, but *people* indirectly.
