Balance in Korean 🇰🇷

균형 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of 균 (gyun) as “even” or “uniform” and 형 (hyeong) as “form” or “shape,” suggesting that when something is balanced, all parts have an even form.
• Picture a seesaw perfectly level; its symmetry reminds you of 균형 (gyunhyeong).

Explanations:
• 균형 (gyunhyeong) means “balance” or “equilibrium” and is used both in literal contexts (e.g., physical balance) and metaphorical ones (e.g., emotional or social balance).
• It conveys the idea of stability and even distribution between components.

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:
• 평형 (pyeonghyeong) – often used to indicate equilibrium or balance.
• 조화 (johwa) – while it primarily means “harmony,” it implies a balanced state among different elements.

Alternate Meanings and Usage:
• There isn’t a well-known slang meaning for 균형 (gyunhyeong), but it’s frequently used metaphorically to describe a well-managed or balanced state in life—such as a balanced lifestyle or mindset.
• In casual conversation, people might comment on someone’s life or work-life balance using the term.
