수용성
수용성 30秒了解
- A formal noun meaning receptivity or social acceptability of ideas.
- Commonly used in business, politics, and psychology contexts.
- Often paired with '높다' (high), '낮다' (low), or '높이다' (to raise).
- Crucial for understanding how Koreans discuss change and innovation.
The Korean word 수용성 (受容性) is a sophisticated noun used to describe the psychological or social capacity to accept something new, different, or challenging. While it literally translates to 'receptivity' or 'acceptability,' its usage spans across psychology, sociology, and public policy. It refers to the degree to which an individual or a collective group is willing to embrace a new idea, a technological innovation, or a government regulation. In a world of rapid change, understanding '수용성' is crucial for leaders and innovators who need to gauge how much friction they will encounter when introducing change.
- Psychological Receptivity
- This refers to an individual's mental flexibility. A person with high '수용성' is open-minded and less resistant to feedback or lifestyle changes. They are the 'early adopters' of the conceptual world.
MZ세대는 새로운 기술에 대한 수용성이 매우 높습니다. (The MZ generation has a very high receptivity to new technology.)
- Social Acceptability
- In policy contexts, this term measures how much the public will tolerate or support a new law or infrastructure project, such as a waste treatment plant or a tax hike. Low social '수용성' often leads to social conflict.
정부는 정책의 사회적 수용성을 높이기 위해 공청회를 열었다. (The government held a public hearing to increase the social acceptability of the policy.)
When discussing '수용성', Koreans often pair it with verbs like '높이다' (to raise/increase) or '확보하다' (to secure). For instance, a CEO might say they need to 'secure receptivity' from employees before implementing a radical restructuring. It is a word that suggests a delicate balance between pushing for progress and ensuring that the people involved are emotionally and logically 'on board.' In academic or business settings, it sounds much more professional than simply using '이해' (understanding) or '동의' (agreement).
변화에 대한 수용성은 조직의 성장에 필수적입니다. (Receptivity to change is essential for organizational growth.)
- Innovative Capacity
- Often used in economic reports to describe a nation's ability to absorb foreign capital or technology. It implies more than just taking something in; it suggests the ability to integrate it successfully.
대중의 문화적 수용성이 넓어지면서 다양한 장르의 영화가 성공하고 있다. (As the public's cultural receptivity broadens, movies of various genres are becoming successful.)
외국인 노동자에 대한 사회적 수용성 문제를 논의해야 합니다. (We must discuss the issue of social acceptability regarding foreign workers.)
Ultimately, '수용성' is about the 'capacity to hold' (受容). In a container metaphor, if a container is too small or rigid, it cannot hold new liquid. Similarly, if a society's '수용성' is low, it cannot hold new ideas without breaking or overflowing into conflict. This word is widely used in the context of 'Digital Transformation' (DX) in Korea, where the focus is not just on the technology itself, but on whether the workers have the 'receptivity' to actually use it in their daily tasks.
Using 수용성 correctly requires understanding its grammatical environment. It is almost always preceded by a noun phrase with the particle '대한' (towards/regarding). For example, '변화에 대한 수용성' (receptivity toward change). Because it is a noun denoting a quality or degree, it is frequently modified by adjectives like '높다' (high), '낮다' (low), '부족하다' (insufficient), or '충분하다' (sufficient).
- Subject Marker (-이/가)
- When '수용성' is the subject of the sentence, it usually describes a state. '수용성이 높다' is the most common pattern.
이 지역 주민들은 태양광 발전소에 대한 수용성이 낮습니다. (The residents of this area have low receptivity toward solar power plants.)
- Object Marker (-을/를)
- When used as an object, it follows verbs of action like '높이다' (to raise), '개선하다' (to improve), or '확보하다' (to secure).
기업은 신제품 출시 전 소비자 수용성을 조사해야 합니다. (Companies should investigate consumer receptivity before launching a new product.)
In political discourse, '사회적 수용성' is a fixed expression. It refers to whether a policy can survive public scrutiny. If a politician says, 'The social receptivity for this tax is not yet formed,' they are essentially saying the public will protest if it's implemented now. It is a polite way to discuss resistance. Another common usage is '교육적 수용성' (educational receptivity), referring to a student's readiness to learn specific material.
아이들의 발달 단계에 따른 교육적 수용성을 고려해야 합니다. (We must consider educational receptivity according to the children's developmental stages.)
- Compound Nouns
- You will often see '수용성' attached directly to other nouns: 기술 수용성 (technology receptivity), 정책 수용성 (policy acceptability), 문화 수용성 (cultural receptivity).
그 나라는 외국 문화에 대한 수용성이 매우 개방적입니다. (That country is very open in its receptivity to foreign culture.)
혁신적인 아이디어도 시장 수용성이 없으면 실패합니다. (Even innovative ideas fail if there is no market receptivity.)
Finally, when describing a lack of receptivity, use '수용성이 떨어지다' (receptivity drops/is low) or '한계가 있다' (there is a limit to receptivity). These phrases help nuance the description of resistance. Instead of saying 'people hate this,' saying 'the receptivity is low' sounds more objective and analytical, which is why it's a favorite in Korean corporate culture.
You are most likely to encounter 수용성 in formal environments. If you watch the 8 PM news on SBS or KBS, you'll hear it during segments about new government regulations or urban development projects. For example, when a new landfill site is announced, the reporter will inevitably mention the '주민 수용성' (resident acceptability) as the biggest hurdle for the project.
- Corporate Meetings
- In a Korean office, a manager might ask, 'What is the internal receptivity (내부 수용성) for this new HR policy?' This is code for: 'Are the employees going to complain or quit if we do this?'
팀장님, 직원들의 수용성을 먼저 파악하는 것이 좋겠습니다. (Team leader, it would be good to first gauge the employees' receptivity.)
- Academic Lectures
- In sociology or psychology classes, professors use '수용성' to discuss how societies evolve. They might talk about the 'cultural receptivity' of the Joseon Dynasty toward Western science.
Another place you'll hear this is in marketing focus groups. Moderators will ask participants questions to measure the '신제품 수용성' (new product receptivity). They want to know if the price point and features are something the target demographic is ready to 'accept' into their lives. It's a key metric for success in the competitive Korean market.
이번 설문조사는 가격 인상에 대한 고객 수용성을 알아보기 위함입니다. (This survey is to find out customer receptivity toward the price increase.)
정치적 수용성을 고려하여 법안을 수정했습니다. (The bill was revised considering political acceptability.)
In the tech industry, specifically regarding AI, 'AI 수용성' is a hot topic. It refers to how comfortable people are with AI making decisions for them. You'll hear tech CEOs in Korea emphasizing that for AI to truly permeate society, we must first solve the 'social receptivity' problem by addressing ethical concerns and job security. Thus, the word often appears in the same breath as 'ethics' (윤리) and 'trust' (신뢰).
The most common mistake learners make with 수용성 is a linguistic one: homonym confusion. In Korean, '수용성' (水溶性) also means 'water-solubility.' If you are talking about Vitamin C and say it has high '수용성,' you mean it dissolves in water. If you are talking about a person and say they have high '수용성,' you mean they are open-minded. Context usually clarifies this, but it can lead to funny misunderstandings in mixed conversations.
- Confusing with '수용' (Acceptance)
- '수용' is the act of accepting. '수용성' is the *quality* or *capacity* to accept. You 'do' 수용 (수용하다), but you 'have' 수용성 (수용성이 있다). Don't say '수용성을 했다' (I did receptivity).
❌ 그 정책을 수용성 했어요. (Incorrect: I receptivity-ed the policy.)
✅ 그 정책을 수용했어요. (Correct: I accepted the policy.)
Another mistake is using the wrong particles. Since '수용성' is a noun, learners often forget that the relationship to the object of acceptance is shown via '에 대한' (towards). Saying '새로운 아이디어 수용성이 높다' is okay but '새로운 아이디어**에 대한** 수용성이 높다' is much more natural and precise. Also, avoid using '수용성' for physical acceptance, like a stadium's 'capacity'—for that, use '수용 인원' (number of people accepted).
❌ 이 경기장의 수용성은 만 명입니다. (Incorrect: The receptivity of this stadium is 10,000.)
✅ 이 경기장의 수용 인원은 만 명입니다. (Correct: The capacity of this stadium is 10,000.)
- Overusing in Casual Contexts
- Using '수용성' when talking to friends about a movie might sound too robotic. Instead of saying 'I have high receptivity for horror movies,' just say 'I like horror movies' or 'I can watch them well' (잘 봐요).
Finally, watch out for the antonyms. People often mistakenly use '거부성' (rejection-ness), which isn't a standard word. Instead, use '거부감' (feeling of rejection/resistance) or simply say '수용성이 낮다' (receptivity is low). Using the correct formal terms will significantly elevate your Korean proficiency level from intermediate to advanced.
While 수용성 is a very specific term, several other words share its semantic space. Understanding the nuances between them will help you choose the right word for the right situation. The most common alternatives are '개방성' (openness), '포용력' (tolerance/inclusivity), and '이해' (understanding).
- 수용성 vs 개방성 (Openness)
- '개방성' refers to being open to new things in general, while '수용성' focuses on the capacity to *actually accept* and integrate a specific thing. You can be open (개방적) but still have low receptivity (수용성) for a specific radical change.
그는 개방적인 성격이지만, 이번 제안에 대한 수용성은 낮았다. (He has an open personality, but his receptivity toward this proposal was low.)
- 수용성 vs 포용력 (Tolerance/Inclusivity)
- '포용력' is usually used for people. It describes the warmth and ability to embrace people's flaws or different backgrounds. '수용성' is more analytical and can apply to ideas, policies, and systems as well as people.
In a business context, you might hear '민감도' (sensitivity). While '수용성' is about acceptance, '민감도' is about how strongly someone reacts. If a market has high sensitivity to price, it likely has low receptivity (수용성) for price hikes. Another alternative is '납득' (persuasion/understanding). While '수용성' is the capacity, '납득' is the state of being convinced. '납득이 가다' means 'it makes sense/I am convinced.'
주민들을 납득시켜야 수용성이 올라갑니다. (You have to convince the residents for the receptivity to go up.)
- 수용성 vs 적응력 (Adaptability)
- '적응력' is the ability to change yourself to fit a new environment. '수용성' is the ability to let a new thing into your environment. They are two sides of the same coin of change management.
When you want to sound more casual, you can use '받아들이는 마음' (an accepting heart) or '오픈 마인드' (open mind - Konglish). However, sticking to '수용성' in professional writing or speeches demonstrates that you have reached the B2/C1 level of Korean, where you can handle abstract Hanja-based nouns with precision.
How Formal Is It?
趣味小知识
The character 容 also means 'face' (as in 'appearance'), suggesting that receptivity is part of the 'face' or 'character' one shows to the world.
发音指南
- Pronouncing 'yong' as 'young' (English word).
- Confusing with 'su-yong-jang' (swimming pool).
- Missing the nasal 'ng' at the end of 'yong' and 'sung'.
- Shortening the 'u' sound too much.
- Changing 'sung' to 'song'.
难度评级
Common in news and books but requires Hanja knowledge for deep understanding.
Hard to use naturally without knowing the correct collocations like '제고' or '확보'.
Used in formal speeches; sounds very professional.

Summary
수용성 refers to the 'capacity to accept.' It is most powerful when used as '사회적 수용성' (social acceptability) to explain why a policy or product succeeds or fails based on public readiness. Example: '주민 수용성 없이 사업을 진행하기 어렵다' (It is hard to proceed with a project without resident acceptability).
- A formal noun meaning receptivity or social acceptability of ideas.
- Commonly used in business, politics, and psychology contexts.
- Often paired with '높다' (high), '낮다' (low), or '높이다' (to raise).
- Crucial for understanding how Koreans discuss change and innovation.
Use in Business
When presenting a new idea at work, use '수용성' to discuss potential resistance. It sounds objective and helps you focus on solutions.
The '대한' Connection
Always try to put 'N에 대한' before '수용성' to make your sentences clearer and more sophisticated.
Hanja Power
Remembering 'Su' (receive) and 'Yong' (contain) will help you remember dozens of other words like '수입' (import) and '내용' (content).
Professionalism
Using this word in a job interview shows you have a high level of Korean and understand corporate culture.
