끌올 (kkeurol) — Bumping an older post back into view.
Lesson 100 in our Korean Slang series, adapted from Korean Your Teacher Doesn’t Teach You by Injin Hwang. This expression appears in the book’s shortened expressions section.
What 끌올 means
In a forum or secondhand marketplace, 끌올 brings an existing post back to the top or back to people’s attention. It abbreviates 끌어올리다. The situation and tone help determine how natural the expression sounds.
A short conversation
A: 그 책 아직 판매 중이야?
B: 응, 방금 글 끌올했어.
A: Is the book still for sale?
B: Yes, I just bumped the listing.
Use it with care
It does not create a new topic. Community rules may limit how often you can bump a listing; check the platform’s norms.
A neutral or polite alternative: 기존 글을 다시 위로 올렸어요. — I brought the older post up again.
Try it yourself
Does 끌올 require a completely new post?
Answer: No. It revives an earlier post. Read the Korean exchange aloud, then replace one detail with something from your own life.
