Curiously, insults in Korean are some of the most sought-after things related to the language. It seems that the first thing many people want to learn when studying a new language is how to speak slang and swear words. In this article, we will share a complete list of insults, slang, and swear words in Korean.
Many swear words in Korean often have a very strange literal translation into other languages, like "puppy." We're not going to delve into each swear word in the article; this is just a list.
I am totally against the use of insults and profanity in any language, but I think it is important for everyone to have knowledge of these words if they are studying Korean, to avoid being insulted or to understand the context in which they can be used. I hope you use this list wisely. We recommend using your browser's search function [CTRL + F] to quickly find what you are looking for.
