What does 어딘지 모르게 mean?
I have this phrase:
초라한 옷을 입고 있었으나, 어딘지 모르게 품위가 있어 보였다.
Without that part, I understand that phrase as "he/she was wearing shabby/poor clothes, but he/she seemed to have class/decency". I'm not sure what's the meaning of 어딘지 모르게, could it be "despite of that"? It looks like "anywhere" and "don't know" to me, but maybe it's an idiomatic expression or something. Can someone please explain it? Thanks!
