🫛 Exploring Korean Idioms: 콩깍지가 씌었다 🫛

Embark on a journey with us as we unravel the enchanting world of Korean idioms. Today, let's explore the poetic expression "눈에 콩깍지가 씌었다", which literally means "one's eyes are covered with bean pods."

🌱 What Does It Mean?

Imagine your eyes covered with bean pods – just as it becomes challenging to see and distinguish objects, being "눈에 콩깍지가 씌었다" symbolizes being blinded by love.

💖 Love's Blindness in Action

Have you ever found yourself so captivated by someone that you couldn't see their imperfections? That's the magic of "눈에 콩깍지가 씌었다."

This idiom is used when you see someone who is too infatuated with another person as cute and adorable.
It can also be used to point out a situation where someone is overlooking flaws or red flags because they can't see them objectively.

💔 The Journey of Love's Clarity

As relationships evolve, individuals often start to see their partner's flaws and imperfections. In Korean, this transformative moment is expressed as "콩깍지가 벗겨졌다 (the bean pods have been removed.)"

While this may simply mean gaining clarity and the ability to objectively judge a relationship, it can also sadly mean that your affection for the person you loved has cooled.

🪷 Experience monastic life at Geumsunsa, a Traditional Buddhist Temple in Seoul 🪷

Geumsunsa is located in Gukidong, Jongnogu, in front of Mt.Inwangsan, near the Blue House and Gyeongbokgung Palace, and only thirty minutes away from Gwanghwamoon Square. A mountain stream flows from Beebong Peak and Hyangrobong Peak in the Mt.Bukhansan National Park, passes under Hongyaekyo (Bridge of Nirvana) at the temple, and gives you the feel of the natural beauty of our temple, yet it is still located in the center of Seoul.
