What 늪 means
It means “swamp,” or a hard-to-escape trap.
In X의 늪, X names what traps someone; 도박의 늪 means “the swamp of gambling.”
Hangul, the Korean alphabet, was created in 1443 and announced in 1446 to help people write Korean. Its letters form syllable blocks: 늪 has an opening consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant.
Neutral Korean word; its metaphor is bleak.
늪 in a message can mean a real swamp or a hard-to-escape predicament; the phrase tells you which.
