The joke was that heechan said “Splitting bears” (which is not a phrase) instead of “splitting hairs”(which is) but they sound similar so he got them mixed up. To “split hairs” means to make unnecessary distinctions. A better way of saying it is: making criticisms of something minor and unimportant. Being unnecessarily critical, to split hairs. I think because a strand of hair is so thin, to split it would be still be small and not worth it?
Sorry I’m not the best at putting it into a sentence.
The saying is “splitting hairs” which means argue about the small details of something, not splitting bears that saying doesn’t exist
I am so fucking stupid. I really thought the "splitting bears" was some sort of Korean idiom or folktale and nothing else. Literally makes sense that Minjae laughed the way he did.
You explained it really well.
I also didn’t get it at first They wrote it in a weird way so I don’t blame people for being confused
what does splitting bears mean pls im french
