Decoding Korean [ㄷㄷㄷ] #9

Time to decode another one of those enigmatic Korean words:

ㄷㄷㄷ

This term is used when you are frightened. It derives from the words 떨리다 which means shake or vibrate and expression that can be used when you are shaking with fear.
Sometimes, 덜덜덜 tends to be used too. We've seen the phrase '덜덜덜' appear often in various Korean variety programs.
