The phrase "꼭 껴안고 눈물 핑" (kkok kyeoango nunmul ping) is a Korean expression that combines two separate phrases:

• 꼭 껴안고 (kkok kyeoango): This part means "to hug tightly" or "to embrace firmly".
• 눈물 핑 (nunmul ping): This describes the physical sensation of tears welling up in one's eyes, often suddenly. It conveys the feeling of being on the verge of crying. The word "핑" (ping) is an ideophone, suggesting a circular or spinning motion, and in this context, describes how tears gather in the eyes.

It can also mean 'dizzily' or represent something going around, or spinning.

Therefore, the combined phrase "꼭 껴안고 눈물 핑" can be translated to mean: "Hugging tightly with tears welling up".The phrase is used as the title of a 2011 South Korean film, "Drifting Away,". The movie follows an aspiring actress and a married man involved in a complicated relationship. The title reflects the emotional intensity and potential for sadness within the story.
