세상에 이런일이!
안녕하세요!

I need a little help with the meaning of the phrase "세상에 이런일이!" What is a good translation? It seems like it is used when you are surprised or have witnessed something incredible.

"세상에" seems to mean "in the world" or "oh my god!", so what is the "이런일이"?

"세상에" seems to mean "in the world" or "oh my god!", so what is the "이런일이"?

Answer

이런일이 is a bit like "such a thing" / "things like this" though direct translation is difficult.
 이런 = such, this, like this, this sort of thing

Actually 세상에 이런일이 is a Korean TV show about strange things, am I right?
