[아시아경제 나한아 기자] This year’s language, selected by the teachers, to express Korean society, was selected as ‘Ashitabi’. Ashitabi translates the double standard of “I am right and I am wrong” in Chinese characters.

According to the teacher’s newspaper on the 20th, as a result of an email survey of 906 teachers from the 7th to the 14th, Ashitabi received the highest selection with 32.4% (multiple responses allowed).

Ashitabi It is an idiom that was devised as a version in Chinese characters of ‘Romance when I speak and infidelity when others (Naero Nambul)’, often used in politics since the 1990s.

The professors pointed to the state of politics where only the attitude of ‘Ashitabi’ was repeated, which did not help to solve problems in politics and society in the midst of national crises such as that of the new coronavirus (Corona 19).

On the other hand, ‘huanmuchi’ was the second most popular language after Asatabi. Juanmuchi means that he is fat and cheeky.
