What 홱 means
It makes the action that follows feel sudden and sharp.
In 홱 돌아서다, someone turns sharply; in 홱 낚아채다, someone snatches something suddenly. The verb names the action; 홱 adds its abrupt force.
Hangul was designed to make Korean easier to write than hanja, the Chinese characters also used in Korean writing. It was introduced in 1446, and its letters form syllable blocks; 홱 is one such block.
