쌤통이다

쌤통이다 뭐예요? 
What is 쌤통? 

The word "쌤통" means the feeling of delight in someone's misfortune or failure.

In fact, there is a technical term for this in psychology.
Schadenfreude. 
"Schadenfreude" is a German word that refers to the experience of pleasure or joy that comes from witnessing or learning about others’ misfortune.

"Especially, when someone I am jealous of makes a mistake and stumbles in front of others, I find myself secretly happy."
When you feel this, you can say 쌤통이다. 

But be careful!
it is generally considered a negative emotion so you should not express that emotion inside out. 

Don’t forget this!
쌤통이다.

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These expressions of happiness and contentment span a spectrum of formality and tone. In everyday conversation, one might simply say they are "happy," "content," or even use the term "pleased" to express satisfaction. When the feeling is particularly strong, phrases like "I am genuinely happy" and "I am overjoyed" convey the depth of joy. In informal settings, a more relaxed approach may be taken with expressions like "on cloud nine" or "over the moon," indicating extreme happiness. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I am pleased to inform you" or "I am delighted to announce," emphasizing the importance of the news. Politeness tempers the happiness in expressions such as "I'm really happy for you" or "That's wonderful news," demonstrating a genuine celebration of someone else's success. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the joy, as seen in expressions like "doing the happy dance" or "grinning from ear to ear." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their contentment with statements like "I'm quite content" or "I find myself in high spirits," maintaining an air of sophistication. For royalty, joy is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "It brings me great joy" or "I am genuinely pleased," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
