[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is "nunchi game" anyone know?[/quote] I think it's like "keeping up with the Joneses" kind of thing. It's a big thing in the Korean culture.[/quote] Korean American here. "Nunchi" is more like having awareness about what others are thinking and feeling. In context, the writer is saying that her mom couldn't use her vacation days because her bosses/colleagues would frown upon it. "Nunchi" is a huge part of Korean culture, which makes sense because there's so much more emphasis on the community and the collective good vs. the emphasis on individuality and personal freedom in America.
