Welcome to Wikinae’s Korean Slang #30

Have you ever been too lazy to eat breakfast?

We’ve all had the experience of having brunch on a lazy morning

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

아점 is short for ‘아침 겸 점심’ which means ‘brunch’.

Along with 아점, ‘브런치’ which is the Korean pronunciation of ‘brunch’ is also frequently used.
