오히려
오히려 is used when the result is opposite to what people expected. It often introduces a surprising, sometimes improved, outcome. Learners can reuse it with contrastive sentences like "A 했는데 오히려 B했다". Example: 비가 올 거라 걱정했지만, 오히려 공기가 시원해져서 행사가 더 잘 되었다.
비가 올 거라 걱정했지만, 오히려 공기가 시원해져서 행사가 더 잘 되었다.
We were worried it would rain, but instead the air got cooler, so the event went better.
