Passive can be used to represent, what is in English either the past or the present tense, with just the present tense. In general, this is part of a larger problem where the adjective has no tense at all in Korean but the English speaker\‘s brain is confused floating around tense land somewhere looking for an exact match to the vagueness of the tense in the Korean. Generally, Korean is less strict on tense as evidenced by the fact that when the passive voice is used in a relative clause, the tense is missing from it.



I\‘m not sure where to insert this minor point, but as far as confusion goes, here is an example of 던 functioning to make a normally active verb into a passive verb:
서랍을 가득 채웠던 옷들

which means the drawer which was filled with the clothes

is 채우다 passive or active?

naver says

병에 물을 채우다
to fill a bottle with water

looks like an active voice verb to me^^
