Definition
卷进 is a resultative verb (verb + complement 进) meaning 'to be drawn into' or 'to get involved in' a situation, often unwillingly and with negative connotations. It can be used actively (卷进某事) or passively with 被 (被卷进). The complement 进 indicates inward movement, so the word conveys being pulled into something like trouble, scandal, or a conflict.
