Difference between incident and scene in Korean

사건·장면

incident

사건incident

This word means an incident or a case that happened. It is often used for something important, unusual, surprising, or sometimes bad. People use 사건 when talking about news, police matters, or a problem that happened somewhere.

scene

장면scene

A scene (장면) is one part of a movie, drama, book, or real-life moment. It often shows what is happening at that time, like people talking, running, or eating. Use this word when you talk about a picture, a video, or a moment you remember.

The difference

장면 means one moment or view in a movie, story, or situation. 사건 is the actual incident that happened, not the visual moment of it.
