What does 재미있는 줄 아나 봐 mean?
재미있는 줄 아나 봐 means "Apparently thinks that it is fun" in Korean.
How it works here
‘재미있는 줄 알다’ (to think something is fun) appears as ‘재미있는 줄 아나,’ and the following ‘봐’ adds a sense of supposition. Thus, it means that he seems to think so rather than making a definite statement.
