What 튄 means
It means “bounced, splashed, stood out, or ran off.”
튄 needs a noun after it: 튄 공 is a bounced ball, 튄 기름 is splashed oil. For a person it leans toward bolted or ran off; for style, it means stood out.
As of 2026, this one syllable has no separate origin story. Hangul was created in 1443 and explained in 1446; a study finds early looks-like-튀다 forms uncertain, with modern-like splatter use in an 1895 text.

1Why does 튄 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
