Korean lore: Traditionally, this has sometimes been read as a powerful person or burdensome matter lingering nearby. Even without an attack, it may point to a situation where it’s hard to let your guard down. (Some folk interpretations read a predator or threatening animal lingering nearby as a sign of wariness and pressure.)
