Welcome to Wikinae’s Korean Slang #44

Do you have any memorable Halloween experiences?

In today’s post, let’s find out how to say “to dress in costumes” in Korean!

코스프레 is short for ‘코스튬 플레이 (costume play)’, which means ‘to dress in costumes’.

Halloween costumes are common in vibrant streets, but unlike Western countries where people go trick-or-treating, costumes in Korea are mainly for festivals and enjoying the atmosphere.
