appears to be X
A label attached with -(이)라고 plus 보이다 "appear" gives a cautious identification: 여기 지금 용의자라고 보이는 이 사람, "this person who appears to be the suspect," 오사카 그랜드 링이라고 보이는, "what appears to be the Osaka Grand Ring." It also softens an opinion — 조금 이상한 단어라고 보일 수도 있을 것 같아요, "it might come across as a slightly odd word." Compare -처럼 보이다, which is about physical resemblance; -라고 보이다 is the speaker declining to state something as fact.
