들었나 놨다??
I was reading an entry on Naver and in the first sentence I've seen this. Full sentence is; 올 한해 시작부터 여심을 들었나 놨다 했던 이들이 있었다. Could you please tell me what that means."올 한해 시작부터 여심을 들었다 놨다 했던 이들이 있었다." (들었나 -> 들었다)
=> There were those who from the start of the year had the female hearts in their palms.
* 올(this) 한 해(one year) 시작부터(from the beginning) 여심(female hearts)을 들었다 놨다 했던 이들(people)이 있었다(there were).
* 들었다 놨다 했던 is the past tense of 들었다(가) 놨다(가) 하다.
- 들었다: past tense (or present perfect) of 들다 (lift).
- 놨다: a short form of 놓았다, the past (or PP) of 놓다 (put down).
- -다(가) .. -다(가) 하다: do one action after another freely at will.
- 들었다(가) 놨다(가) 했던: (someone who) had (something) swayed up and down at will.
So it is a figurative way of saying "had a tremendous influence over something", like a child playing with his toy.
The female hearts were at the mercy of these people, following them and laughing and crying at every move they make, so to speak.
