puk
What does it mean to rest 'all the way down'?
The picture Something going all the way down and sinking under, not just dipping in. 푹 goes all the way down and under; 살짝 only grazes the surface.

All of it in one picture
푹 is one picture: going all the way down and staying under. When the body sinks, it is resting fully; when sleep reaches bottom, it is sleeping deeply; when heat reaches the middle, it is boiled through. A foot sinking into snow gets 푹, and so does a head dropping all the way to the chest.
