DON'T REPOST ANYWHERE NOT 100% ACCURATE!! ENGLISH ISN'T MY FIRST LANGUAGE SO... A LOT OF MISTAKES EXIST!! HAPPY READING ❤ Kkondae is an expression used in South Korea to describe a condescending person. The slang noun kkondae was originally used by students and teenagers to refer to older people such as fathers and teachers.[1] Recently, however, the word has been used to refer to a boss or an older person who does so-called kkondae-jil (acting like a kkondae, in the Korean language), that forces the former's outdated way of thinking onto another person.
