In this article, we are going to share a complete list of insults, slang, and swear words in Korean. Most people who appreciate Japanese culture also appreciate Korean culture, mainly because of the k-pop, dramas and fashion.
I have no idea what goes through people's minds, but apparently swearing in Korean is one of the most sought after things related to the language. It seems like the first thing anyone wants to learn when studying a language is to speak slang and swear words.
Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge of Korean to explain in detail the use of every Korean slang and swear word. If anyone present wants to add something through the comments, we are grateful.
I'm totally against swearing and swearing in Korean, but I think it's good that everyone has knowledge if they study the language, to avoid being insulted. I hope you use this list wisely! We recommend searching using the [CTRL + F] location of your browser.
We also recommend reading our articles on swearing in japanese and swearing in chinese.

Unfortunately I don't know many swear words in Korean to share with you, apparently it's a complicated language, especially in its pronunciation, for that reason we recommend watching the videos below that can help a little. Korean is also full of variations and diversifications in words, including insults, so there must be many that are not listed.
