What do Koreans mean by the word '센스'?
So I've noticed that Koreans use the word 센스 a lot, especially on social media. They say things like 'you have good sense' or 'you have lots of sense'. But I don't really know what they mean, sense of what? Sense of style, fashion, taste etc. In English it doesn't make work to just use the word 'sense' alone because there has to be a sense of something. If it's a general sense, what do you mean by that?
Can anyone help?
All answers are greatly appreciated :)

"What do Koreans mean by the word '센스'?"
When we say "sense" without a qualification, as in "센스가 있다", it is used in a broad and slightly vague sense(^^). It includes a sharp perception, quick wit and sensitivity (in things interesting and in vogue), good judgment and understanding attitude - the opposite of dull, dense, uptight, clueless...
It depends on the speaker too, as it is likable qualities judged in one's value system.
Among young women for example, it might be more of a fashion sense, chicness, and chivalry, while for men it would be decent sensibilities, big-heartedness, etc.
It also depends on the context and how it is said.
So 센스가 있다 is a strong compliment indicating all the good qualities.
센스가 빠르다 on the other hand refers to quick (and sometimes shrewd) perception and adaptability, so somewhat less of a compliment.
~에[의] 센스가 있다 is close to "has good sense in.." in English.
센스 있는, 센스 있게 means perceptively, sensibly, with keen perception/insight, etc.
