How it's used
Focuses on the visual or public nature of attention, often describing something that stands out from the crowd. It is frequently used in formal or journalistic contexts to describe events or people that capture widespread interest. Unlike simple verbs for looking, it implies a sense of prominence or being the center of focus.
Examples
This news story is really eye-catching.
Their performance is so striking that everyone can see it.

Common mistake
Avoid using this as a direct command to pay attention, as it is a descriptive state rather than an imperative verb. For telling someone to pay attention, use 留意 or 注意 instead.
