Do you have a saying that keeps you going when you feel like giving up?
In today’s post, let’s find out how Koreans say “Never give up”!
중꺾마 is short for ‘중요한 것은 꺾이지 않는 마음’ which means ‘what matters is an unbreakable will’. It is used to send the message ‘never give up’.
This phrase derived from an interview video of ‘Deft (Kim Hyuk-kyu)’, a professional gamer. After his participation in League of Legends 2022 World Championship, it was used as a title of the video based on a his message of ‘not giving up’.
Although it began its use in e-sports, it can be applied to various situations in daily life.
