Both Magpie and tiger were korea national animals. There were so many tigers in korea the chinese merchant would say 'for six month koreans hunt the tiger and the next six month the tiger hunts koreans.
Magpie were considered to be elite birds that would help humans in korean folk stories

Nevermind there was an actualreason why tiger eyes were retarded
It's a special type of popular Korean art ("kkachi horangi", a type of minhwa), and these "foolish" tigers represent the powerful aristocrats, while the dignified magpies represent the common people.
It was also used as a tool to make people less scared of tigers. Back then, there were a LOT around villages and people were scared. By making the tigers seem funny and foolish, and having that image of them in their houses amd daily lives, it made ppl less scared
One last thing to add: this type of art (minhwa) was popular in the sense that it wasn't consideres "true art" until recently. The authors of these paintings were street artists that did commissions in festivals and such so yeah, not an unknown concept to grasp nowadays :')
