I found this aphorism in my aphorism book.
달팽이 뚜껑 덮었다
dal.paeng.i ttu.kkeong deop.eot.da
snail lid cover-PAST
The snail keeps covered.
This means that people who keep to themselves are unknowable. Which seems kind of self-evident, but in a culture like Korea’s where a major portion of socialization among peers is “enforced” (obligatory at some level), keeping to oneself is an outlier personality trait.
