Lesson 12
12. 대박! Awesome! / Oh, my god! (neutral)
대박 literally means a big success and now it’s kind of a slang word meaning “Awesome!” or “Oh, my god.” So, when you want to express your surprise, you say 대박. For example, you just heard the news that your two best friends are dating each other and you had no idea, then you say 대박. Or when you just found out that your favorite idol is going to have a come back soon, you can also say 대박.
