On in Korean shows a few notable properties in its interpretation. It behaves like whole in English to some extent while it shows a similarity to all in other aspects. On allows only internal distributivity like whole, but it is equipped with quantificational force in itself like all. To capture its ambivalent nature, a member specification function is incorporated in the semantics of on, and a contextual function is proposed to define a contextually prominent group for the interpretation of on.
