[Korean Slang] #15 불금(FriYay)

Welcome to Wikinae’s Korean Slang #15

 

What are your plans for this Friday?


On Friday nights, Koreans would usually go out for a drink or catch up with their loved ones 🔥

 

In today’s post, let’s find out how Koreans say “FriYay”!

✔️불금 is short for ‘타는 요일’ which means ‘FriYay’ or ‘T.G.I.F. (Thank God It’s Friday)’.

 

The literal translation is ‘hot/burning Friday’.

 

In the early 2000s, Korea introduced a five-day work week, making Fridays a symbolic day for workers and students as they could enjoy weekends off.
