Time to 정주행 (Binge-Watch) Squid Game! Still haven’t watched Squid Game?🦑 Let’s binge it before the new season drops tomorrow! When we talk about binge-watching in Korean, we use slang like 정주행하다 and 몰아보다. 📺 정주행하다 정주행하다 means to watch something "in order from start to finish, without skipping." ▶️정 = correct, proper 🛣️주행 = to move or run through It’s similar to binge-watching in English, but the focus is on watching all the episodes in the correct order, continuously. 예: 저 이번 주말에 오징어 게임 정주행 할 거예요. ➡️ I'm going to binge-watch Squid Game this weekend (from the beginning, in order). 📺 몰아보다 몰아보다 is also like binge-watching, but the nuance is a little different. It literally means "to watch a large amount at once, quickly." 몰아 = to push, to drive 보다 = to watch You can 몰아보다 in any order or even skip a little. It focuses more on watching a lot in a short time. 예: 시즌 1을 하루 만에 몰아봤어요. ➡️ I binge-watched Season 1 in just one day. 🔁 역주행 역주행 means “reverse driving,” but in Korean slang, it describes a song, drama, or content that becomes popular long after its release. Often used when something suddenly climbs music charts or gets attention later. 예: 오징어 게임은 처음 공개됐을 때보다, 해외에서 인기가 터지면서 역주행했어요. ➡️ Squid Game actually gained explosive popularity after release—it made a comeback on the charts later. So, have you binge-watched Squid Game yet? 정주행 준비 되셨나요? 😎
