I'm not familiar with the Korean context, but I'm guessing it's not too far from the Chinese "sifu" - which is also often translated as "master", but it's moreso "mentor" or "teacher". Someone who is skilled in a trade and is teaching someone their skills
Edit: there's also usually an element of this person as a bit of a surrogate parent. A lot of the service the apprentice does for this person will have a tone of filial piety
As far as desensitizing goes - how do you feel about getting really into martial arts movies?
"Sifu" sounds SO much better. I like the word. I'll try and see Master Jang as "Korean Sifu Jang"
Martial arts movies would be fun. Last one I watched was Ip Man.
It felt fine to hear "Master Oogway" in the animation Kungfu Panda because he had a highly exaggerated sifu aesthetic and voice to him. He was undeniably a sifu.
Take out the sucking up part, and in most cases, it's used to signify someone is a master craftsman builder or a master of their specific craft, or a leader in the field to which others come to them to learn from. Think of it as a PHD professor in the example you gave.
Get really into audio mixing
That's an idea. But I have to face the slavery version of the word master being said, or else I'll remain too sensitive. Idk how to turn that into a non-gross sounding mix.
think of it as "maestro" which means the same thing but is funnier and cooler sounding.
