책벌레

Roman:
Noun
  1. 지나치게 책을 읽거나 공부하는 데만 열중하는 사람을 놀림조로 이르는 말. [1]
    bookworm [2]
    cf. Bookworm (insect)
    The term is also used idiomatically to describe an avid or voracious reader, or a bibliophile. In its earliest iterations, it had a negative connotation, referring to someone who would rather read than participate in the world around them. Over the years its meaning has drifted in a more positive direction.
