What's the difference between 속에 and 안에?
I read somewhere that 안에 is literally inside and 속에 is more figurative, and I can't seem to find anything else about the two anywhere. Thanks!

Question

Answer

속에 and 안에 both mean "in, inside"
But, 속에 has a nuance of "innermost, amid, invisible from outside"

ex) 땅 속에(in the ground), 물 속에(in the water)
      방 안에(in the room), 며칠 안에(in the next few days)
