If you’ve finally entered a K-pop black hole, chances are there are tons of slang you’re not familiar with. Take a look at the Twitter profiles of K-pop fans and you might wonder if they’re speaking a whole new language. From Golden Makkah, which is Jungkook from BTS, to say something in agyo, which means to be cute. If you’re still struggling with all the K-pop terminology, don’t worry because we’ve compiled a list of slang and their meanings.

No, this slang does not refer to the 2018 hit BTS song, but it is a term used to describe artists like BTS and other K-pop stars. Because they are more than just singers, K-pop artists are called idols. The first Korean singers were called Gasu.
golden house
Maknae means youngest and is often used to describe the youngest member of a K-pop group. Moreover, a golden man is one who is effortlessly good at everything from singing to dancing and other skills.
In this case, BTS’s Jungkook is the youngest member of the Grammy-nominated group and also happens to be a legendary singer, dancer and songwriter.
Bias and Bias Wrecker
If you’re into K-pop, your fellow K-pop fans may ask you who is your bias in a certain band. Twenty-two means a favorite member of a K-pop group. Conversely, a bias breaker is your favorite bandmate who is close enough to impress your allegiance.
saseng
The term is used to describe a highly invested fan who crosses the line and is most likely a hunter. A typical K-pop fan might ask for an autograph or a selfie at a fan meeting, but a Sasang would repeatedly invade an idol’s privacy by stalking the washroom or waiting outside their residence.
I am glad to see that ARMY is defending Taehyung and not attacking him for smoking, but attacking Saseng who took pictures without permission. #bts #kim taehyung— (@lisakive) 4 April 2022
bagel
This portmanteau is made up of baby-face and glamorous or sexy body. The term is often used to describe female idols, such as Bey Suzy, with some male K-pop stars also making a cut like 2PM’s Nichkhun or Monstax’s Wonho.
Are you ready to incorporate these abuses into your conversations with fellow K-pop fans?
