thought wrongly; or 'do you know?'

Two jobs. In the past — 는 줄 알았다 — it reports a belief that turned out to be false: 나 되게 큰 거 타는 줄 알았는데 'I thought you'd ride something huge.' Two lines here are the fixed exaggeration 죽는 줄 알았다 / 터지는 줄 알았다, 'I thought I was going to die', which only means the feeling was extreme. As a present-tense question, 는 줄 알아?, it is a hook before telling you something: 내가 왜 매일 새벽을 서킷에서 시작하는 줄 알아?

Register: the question form here is casual (알아?)
