In Korean slang, the word 다이너마이트 is sometimes used as a metaphor for a person with a very voluptuous or 'explosive' figure.
The word 다이너마이트 gained massive global visibility through the song 'Dynamite' by the group BTS, which uses the English word as a metaphor for energy and brightness.
Because Korean syllables generally cannot end in a standalone 't' sound like the English word, an extra vowel is added to create 다이너마이트 (da-i-neo-ma-i-teu).
