Adjective

강퍅하다 • (gangpyakhada) (infinitive 강퍅해 or 강퍅하여, sequential 강퍅하니, hanja 剛愎하다)

  1. (literary) to be headstrong; to be stubborn; to be obstinate
    Synonym: 고집이 세다 (gojib-i seda)

Usage notes

  • Commonly misspelled as "강팍하다 (gangpakhada)" because the fairly obscure hanja 愎 used in this word is the only character with the reading 퍅 (pyak), and the syllable does not occur in native words either.
