단어분석 (Word Analysis)

밥 (Bap) [bap] + 줄 (Jjul) [jjul]: 생계를 이어가는 수단(끈)을 비유합니다.
(Livelihood (literally "rice-line"); source of food/income.)

끊기다 (Kkeun-gi-da) [kkeun-gi-da]: 이어져 있던 것이 단절되다.
(To be cut off; to be severed.)


설명 (Explanation)

[KO] ‘밥줄이 끊기다’는 먹고사는 데 꼭 필요한 수입원이 사라지는 것을 의미합니다. 한국인들에게 '밥'은 단순한 음식을 넘어 생존과 직결된 표현으로 자주 쓰입니다.

[EN] 'Losing one's rice-line' means losing the very source of income necessary to survive. In Korea, 'rice' is often used as a metaphor for life and survival itself.
