The textbook way to say it: 분위기가 갑자기 어색해졌다

Team dinner on a Friday

Jieun 부장님이 삼겹살 쏜대요. 근데 또 아재개그 하실 듯.

The department head says he's treating us to samgyeopsal. But he'll probably tell dad jokes again.

Taeyang 작년 회식 기억나요? 부장님 노래방에서 완전 갑분싸였잖아요.

Remember last year's dinner? At karaoke the head made the mood go totally awkward.

Jieun ㅋㅋ 기억나요. 그래도 꼰대는 아니에요. 은근 좋은 분이에요.

Haha, I remember. Still, he's not a bossy know-it-all. He's low-key a nice guy.
