K-Pop Dictionary 케이팝 딕셔너리
Daebak! Hello, K-Pop fan! Congratulations on your bold decision to embark on a journey to the fantastic world of K-Pop! Let’s take a moment to share the joy. You have chosen your favorite, and you can tell who is the maknae of the group, right? Oh, and you must know who is in charge of the visual and has the best aegyo that melts your heart!
Well, it’s okay if you don’t have a clue about what I just said because that is probably the reason you chose to read this book. It is designed so you can learn the most up-to-date vocabulary used in K-pop lyrics, TV shows, K-Dramas, and the like. As the title of this book suggests, this is not an ordinary dictionary. It is specifically designed to explain what these words mean in a K-Pop and K-Drama context. These are like encrypted codes that can only be understood if you know the background information, such as where they originated and when and how they are used. Without this knowledge, you are missing out on all the news and updates other fans are talking about!
For that reason, this book also includes real-life examples of the words in action. You will gain a thorough understanding of the words and their background information. You can use this book as a quick reference guide any time you run into K-Pop and K-Drama lingo or as a study reference by utilizing the conversation examples included on every page. Whatever your goal, this will be a great way to expand your K-Pop and K-Drama knowledge and to give yourself a window into the fascinating world of Korean culture!
You will notice that sometimes there is more than one spelling variation. Despite the fact that there is a standard method of Romanizing Korean words using Latin letters, K-Pop fans and translators have chosen haphazardly to use whatever they think is appropriate. Those Romanizations have then spread across the Internet, eventually becoming the new standards used by everyone. So, this book includes the versions that are popularly used among K-Pop fans, but spellings in Hangul (Korean alphabet) are also provided. You can always cross-check in case you want clarification and further detail.
Whatever your goal, this is a great way to expand your K-Pop and K-Drama knowledge; your window into the fascinating world of Korean culture! A dictionary of honest human interaction, Korean pop culture, and everyday K-POP life. A resource for language learners confused by real-world Korean, and a tool to help you understand the world of a K-POP fan. But more importantly, great entertainment for everyone.
