I came across the verb '신스틸 하다', which seems to be derived from the English 'scene-stealing'.
Is this something that can be used in a metaphorical way about everyday life, or does it only apply to people taking part in a performance?
Can 신스틸 be used as a noun on its own?
1) 신스틸하다 = 간지 폭풍 = 미친 존재감 = To dominate a performance through charisma, humour or powerful acting
2) 신스틸 = noun
3) I do not know whether Koreans use this in normal life. But if I try :
오늘 미팅 어땠냐 ? How was today's discussion ?
내가 신스틸했어. I made an excellent presentation (=I persuaded opponents) or I am totally stupid.
