Caveat: 바늘 구멍으로 하늘 보기

I found this aphorism in my book of Korean aphorisms.

바늘     구멍으로          하늘     보기
ba.neul gu.meong.eu.ro  ha.neul bo.gi
needle  hole-THROUGH    heaven see-PART
[It's like] seeing heaven through the eye of a needle.

This refers to a narrow-minded person. Perhaps it could be similar to English’s “tunnel vision.”
