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: 고집 세다 (gojib-i seda)

Usage notes

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