고교수: ...뭐?

Professor Ko: …What?

유동만:  경찰들 후원해주는 척 하면서 비리 경찰들한테 돈 건네주고

Dong-man: You pretended to support cops while giving money to corrupt ones. You did a lot of bullshit. It’s all in the accounts, didn’t you know? 

고교수:  ...뭐 눈엔 뭐만 보이니까.

Expression of the Week

뭐 눈엔 뭐만 보이니까 (it takes one to know one)

뭐 – what

눈 – eye

보이다 – v. to see

Casual – 뭐 눈엔 뭐만 보이니까

>> This expression literally means “something is seen (only) to someone’s eyes” which is a saying used to indicate that you will only see what you like or are interested in. 

>>The first “뭐,” which means “what,” refers to a subject that is doing the seeing and the second “뭐” refers to the object that is being looked at.

>> 엔 is an abbreviated version of “애는” in this case 눈엔 is short for 눈에는.
