There is a phrase “baendaengi of May and June” in Korean, meaning something that is not well prepared but has good timing.
In this way, the large-eyed herring is much tastier during May and June of the lunar calendar, as it becomes oilier during the breeding season.
Usually Koreans call someone who is narrow-minded and intolerant a baendaengi.
This is because the large-eyed herring cannot overcome the stress of being captured in fishing net, and shivers and dies quickly.
Thus, it is said that even fishermen cannot often see a live large-eyed herring once it is captured.
