Seubuljae (Self-inflicted disaster)

스불재

"Seubuljae" is an acronym-style Korean neologism standing for a phrase that means "a disaster you brought upon yourself." It describes a bad situation that is entirely one's own fault, the result of a choice or action you knew was risky but did anyway. It is typically used in a self-aware, humorous way to admit that you have no one to blame but yourself, often after doing something reckless, lazy, or impulsive and then facing the consequences. The tone is usually light and confessional rather than serious blame, which is why it spread quickly as a relatable, everyday expression online.
'스불재'는 "스스로 불러온 재앙"을 줄인 신조어다. 온전히 자기 탓인 나쁜 상황, 즉 위험한 줄 알면서도 스스로 한 선택이나 행동 때문에 벌어진 사태를 가리킨다. 주로 "누굴 탓하겠어, 다 내 탓이지"라고 자조하는 유머러스한 뉘앙스로 쓰인다. 무모하거나 게으르거나 충동적인 짓을 한 뒤 그 결과를 감당하게 됐을 때 자주 등장하며, 심각한 비난보다는 가볍게 고백하는 톤이다. 예문: - 밤새 게임하고 지각함... 완전 스불재. ("Stayed up all night gaming and was late... totally self-inflicted.") - 할인한다고 안 쓸 거 잔뜩 샀어. 스불재지 뭐. ("Bought a bunch of stuff I won't use just because it was on sale — brought it on myself.")
