Wangdda & Bullying in Schools

Wangdda in schools

School bullying is nothing new in Korea. It has always existed in the form of "Wangdda".

1. Wangdda: the word is a shortening of “wang ddadollinda,” which means “to greatly ostracize”

1.1 ostracize:  to prevent someone from being part of a group because you dislike the person or disapprove of something the person has done

1.2 The best translation for the Korean concept "Wangdda" would be "outcast".

1.3  (an) outcast: a person who is not accepted or has no place in society or in a particular group
