  2. ruwei,

    Concerning no. 4: 발연기 (bad acting), I would like to know, why 발 does mean ‘bad’ here.

    • YoonJu Mangione,

      I think it derived from the common phrase “발로 해도 이것보단 낫겠다” (“I’d do better than this even with my feet”) when something someone has done is really bad. Since everything we do is done with hands, the result would be really bad if we try to do something with our feet. 발연기 (“acting with feet”) would imply that the actor is not skillful in their art, as if it’s “done with their feet”.
