<Words you have to use when you emphasize your words!>
Today’s expression, ‘숟가락을 얹다' is an expression of the act of posting a name pretending to be part of someone else's achievements. You can translate this phrase as ‘put one’s spoon on’.
It's a phrase that usually expresses negative nuisance about people who piggyback on others, but sometimes you can use this as a means of humility.
