[K-Words You Need to Know] Daebak (대박)

 “Daebak!” is one of the expressions most frequently used by native Korean speakers. This short, punchy word bursts almost automatically to express surprise or excitement, like saying “incredible” or “unbelievable” in English.  For instance, if you taste something amazing or discover a stunning place, say “Daebak!” to show how you feel. Next time you hear unexpected or exciting news, try reacting with, “Wow, daebak!” This phrase will help you sound more like a native and feel more connected in conversations with Koreans.Editor: Song SoomiCopy Editors: Ryu Hyoseung, Anton J.
