Definition
事不关己 is a four-character set phrase (成语) meaning 'the matter does not concern oneself' — used to indicate that something is not your business or responsibility. It often appears in the longer expression 事不关己，高高挂起 (shì bù guān jǐ, gāogāo guà qǐ), which criticizes a bystander attitude of ignoring things that don't personally affect you. In conversation, you can use it alone to dismiss an issue as irrelevant to you.
f.e.
it's not one's concernthe matter does not involve me personally
