Context/Vocabulary Reference

I had to research the word Manghyeongjiu (망형지우, 忘形之友) referenced at 16:30: a Korean idiom (based on Sino-Korean roots) that refers to a close friendship where the individuals have forgotten their outward appearances, social statuses, or formal etiquette.

~~Literary Breakdown (Chinese/Hanja):忘 (망):
To forget形 (형): Form, shape, or appearance (external, physical)
之 (지): Particle connecting words (often "of" or 's)
友 (우): Friend

~~Context: It describes a "soulmate" or a best friend with whom you are perfectly comfortable and share mutual understanding without having to put on a show or act formal.
