Yeon-du :나... 이 학교에서 리얼킹 없이 버틸 수 있을까?

Do you think I’ll survive here without Real King?

숨막혀
숨 – breath
막히다 – to be blocked, closed or clogged, chocked or stuffed
Casual – 숨막혀
Semi-polite/polite – 숨막혀요
>>[숨막혀] literally means that one’s breath has been blocked, so they cannot breathe. The expression can be used when someone is facing a really difficult situation and feels a lot of pressure thus, feels like they are suffocating.
e.g. 선생님이 너무 간섭을 많이 해. 숨막혀. à My teacher meddles in our business too much. I feel like I’m suffocating.
>>However, the expression can also be used when you’ve seen something so beautiful or were so surprised that you forgot to breathe.
e.g. 너무 아름다워서 숨이 막혔어 à It was so beautiful I didn’t breath (it was breathtakingly beautiful).
