✨ Is your Korean 감다살 or 감다뒤? (Don’t know what that means? Click!) Learn real Korean expressions beyond textbooks 🧠💬
In Korean, the word 감 (感) comes from a Chinese character meaning feeling or sense.
You’ll see it in many everyday words:
▪️감정 (emotion) – your inner feelings
▪️감각 (sense/perception) – sight, hearing, etc.
▪️식감 (mouthfeel) – how food feels when you eat it
▪️감이 있다 – “You’ve got the feel/sense!”
▪️감이 없다 / 감이 죽었다 – “You’ve lost your touch”
💬 Example:
“요즘 영어만 써서 한국어에 대한 감이 떨어졌어…”
I’ve been speaking English so much, I’ve gotten rusty in Korean..
🎯 감다살 = 감(感)이 다 살아 있다
This viral slang means:
💡 "You’ve got great sense!" / "You’re so trendy and on point!"
Literally, it means “Your 감 is fully alive.”
💬 Example:
“제니 이번 신곡 완전 감다살👍🏻”
→ Jennie’s new song is SO on point!
❌ 감다뒤 = 감(感)이 다 뒤졌다
This is the opposite!
It means:
😬 “You’re totally out of touch.” / “That was so off.”
Literally, “Your 감 is dead and buried.”
💬 Example:
“그 영화 봤어? 언제적 클리셰를 써 먹는 건지 감다뒤임;;”
→ Did you see that movie? The cliché was sooo outdated. Total 감다뒤.
