Meaning
A casual, indirect way of saying "that's not okay" between close friends — trailing off instead of finishing the sentence, letting the awkwardness do the work. NOT used in formal or professional settings. The unspoken ending is louder than any direct refusal.
그건 = that is
좀 = a bit / somewhat (shortened from 조금)
Example
“That price is… 그건 좀.”
Equivalent
That’s a bit much
