Hwabyung is referred to as an "anger disease". This stems from anger from being suppressed and then released when the victim has felt like they have had enough. The victim usually feel as though they are being treated unfairly, but does not want to be confrontational, therefore they suppress the anger. (http://www.wcprr.org/pdf/04-01/2009.01.1221.pdf)
