When you'd hear it

당하다 is common in everyday speech, dramas, news, and workplace writing when someone suffers an unwanted action or consequence. It often appears after nouns such as 거절, 취급, or 차단, and is usually emotionally negative.

What learners get wrong

당하다 usually highlights an unwanted or harmful experience, unlike 받다, which can describe neutral or positive things such as 도움을 받다 or 선물을 받다. It often follows an action noun rather than forming a general passive for any verb.
