The meaning of 깨알 같다
Can you please explain me the meaning of 깨알 같다? I guess it's probably being used as slang but I still can't get what it means.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your question, keira.
'깨알 같다' It's idiomatic phrase, not slang.
깨알 means a grain of sesame seed.
Thus '깨알 같다' means
1. Something or someone that is tiny or small like sesame seed.
2. Something that is trivial or small fun.
Have a nice day.

Hi Keira,
I would say 깨알 같다 means 소소한+detail. You can also use 요소요소/사이사이/곳곳마다. For example, 깨알 같은 재미 means 소소한(+detail) 재미.
깨알 is 깨+알. 깨 is tiny small one of types of nuts. We make sesame oil using that.
Hope this help.
