This paper presents a series of arguments in support of a disjunctive analysis of Korean verbal suffix -cwu. The suffix -cwu can be classified into two subtypes depending on whether it has the ability to introduce a non-core dative argument or not. This paper reviews two representative analyses of these two types of Korean -cwu, Jung(2014) and Tomioka and Kim(2017). Jung(2014) proposes a disjunctive treatment of argument-introducing -cwu and -cwu that fails to license a syntactic argument. In contrast, Tomioka and Kim(2017) attempt at a unified account where both instances of -cwu are linked to a benefactive head. In this paper, I bring to light novel evidence from idioms containing -cwu as well as a malefactive semantic contribution of -cwu. I show that these two sets of data are only compatible with Jung(2014) and not with Tomioka and Kim(2017). Finally, I update Jung(2014) and discuss an additional welcome consequence with regard to the interaction between -cwu and inchoatives with a Theme subject.
