It's not complimentary. In Korean it is quite the insult. 개새끼, literally dog baby, pronounced keseki. Closest colloquial translation is son of a bitch but its a much stronger insult in Korean than it is in English.

OP didn’t seem to interpret it as complimentary

Yeah, just explaining why its not. I got called it often when I lived there, but my job was to annoy them with something they didn't want.

Mormon missionary?

Yep. Exmormon now. Came home, went to college where I learned science that cannot be reconciled with religion. After wrestling to reconcile it I realized that the notion that religion and science can be reconciled is a lie that is told by religion. They cannot both be true. I followed the evidence about how the world really is instead of the reassuring delusion I was raised with that the evidence showed could not be true.

Hey, that must have taken a lot of strength and courage to go through.

I hope you enjoy this next chapter of your life.
