1. What does it mean?

암튼 is a clipped form of 아무튼. It brings a conversation back to the point, summarizes what matters despite details, or moves on from a digression.

Also written or said as amteun

2. The nuance

It can feel brisk or dismissive if it cuts off someone's concern. It is a discourse marker, not a claim that the preceding details are untrue.

3. Examples

“설명이 길어졌네. 암튼 세 시에 만나자.”

That explanation got long. Anyway, let's meet at three.

“암튼 도와준 건 정말 고마워.”

In any case, I really appreciate your help.
