What does 내또출 mean?
내또출 (nae-tto-chul) means: An exhausted, sardonic sigh over the inescapable, soul-crushing loop of going to work yet again.
A portmanteau of 내일도 또 출근 (nae-il-do tto chul-geun - 'going to work again tomorrow'), this is the battle cry of the modern Korean corporate drone staring blankly into a Tuesday morning. It is rarely uttered with fiery rage; rather, it’s a flat, deadpan acknowledgment of systemic fatigue, shared in text messages or muttered under breath while waiting for the subway. Learners often mistake it for a formal complaint about work hours, but natives use it purely for the communal bonding of shared despair.
