Greetings
from
the
World
of
Korean
Internet
Slang
When
it
comes
to
online
communication,
every
country
has
its
own
unique
internet
slang
and
Korea
is
no
exception.
The
Korean
internet
language
has
become
a
trendsetter
in
the
online
world,
thanks
to
its
creative
way
of
combining
Korean
and
English
words,
phrases
and
emotions.
In
2015,
some
of
the
most
popular
Korean
internet
slangs
are
“ㅋㅋㅋ”
(kkk),
“ㅎㅎㅎ”
(hhh),
“몰랑”
(molang)

“귀요미”
(gwiyeomi).
“ㅋㅋㅋ”
(kkk)
is
a
Korean
version
of
“lol”
which
stands
for
“laugh
out
loud”.
The
number
of
“ㅋ”s
indicates
the
level
of
amusement,
ranging
from
“ㅋ”
(mild
chuckle)
to
“ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
(rolling
on
the
floor
laughing).
Similarly,
“ㅎㅎㅎ”
(hhh)
is
a
softer
version
of
“ㅋㅋㅋ”
to
indicate
a
gentle
laughter.
“몰랑”
(molang)
is
a
two-syllable
word
that
originated
from
the
sound
of
a
fluffy
rabbit.
It
is
often
used
among
friends
as
a
way
to
express
cuteness,
adorableness
and
love.
In
Korean
culture,
expressing
affection
is
not
always
easy,
so
internet
slangs
like
“몰랑”
(molang)
offer
a
playful
and
safe
way
to
show
affection.
“귀요미”
(gwiyeomi)
is
a
combination
of
the
Korean
words
for
“cuteness”
(귀여움)
and
“beauty”
(미).
It
refers
to
someone
or
something
that
is
incredibly
cute,
adorable
and
charming.
“Gwiyeomi”
has
become
a
popular
trend
on
social
media,
where
people
upload
videos
of
themselves
doing
the
“gwiyeomi
pose”
–
making
a
heart
shape
with
their
fingers
and
doing
aegyo
(cute
expressions).
Korean
internet
slangs
are
not
only
fun
and
creative
but
also
have
the
power
to
connect
people
from
all
over
the
world.
With
the
rise
of
K-pop
and
K-dramas,
more
people
are
becoming
interested
in
Korean
culture
and
language.
The
internet
slangs
make
it
easier
for
non-Korean
speakers
to
join
in
the
Korean
online
conversations
and
feel
like
a
part
of
the
community.
In
conclusion,
Korean
internet
slangs
have
become
a
form
of
cultural
expression
that
offers
a
unique
insight
into
Korean
pop
culture
and
language.
Whether
you
are
a
fluent
Korean
speaker
or
not,
using
internet
slangs
like
“ㅋㅋㅋ”
(kkk)
or
“몰랑”
(molang)
can
make
your
online
communication
more
fun,
interesting
and
enjoyable.
So
why
not
try
them
out
and
experience
the
world
of
Korean
internet
slang?
