head shaking vertically, 끄덕끄덕
Nodding is a universally understood gesture for "yes" or agreement. It's an easy way to communicate when speaking is difficult.
It's a gesture frequently used in class or during meetings. It's also used to show that you're listening attentively to the other person.
끄덕끄덕은 세계 공통적으로 '네' 또는 동의를 표현하는 고개 움직임입니다. 말로 하기 어려울 때 쉽게 사용할 수 있어요.
수업 시간이나 회의 중에 자주 사용하는 제스처입니다. 상대방의 이야기를 잘 듣고 있다는 표현으로도 쓰여요.
The meaning can subtly change depending on the number of nods and their speed. Nodding quickly multiple times shows enthusiastic agreement, while a single slow nod indicates careful acknowledgment. With the increase in online meetings, this gesture has become even more important.
In Korean variety shows, exaggerated nodding by the performers often evokes laughter. In particular, the enthusiastic nodding used to express deliciousness in food content (Mukbang) has become a popular reaction internationally.
