힘

him · TOPIK 1

strength, power

💪 Sounds like him: it takes strength to lift him

힘 is pronounced just like the English word him. Tie the sound to the meaning with one sentence: lifting him takes strength. Common in 힘내 (cheer up, literally put out strength) and 힘들다 (to be hard, strength-draining).
