haengbokhan peuraideu meonseu
Did you know?
- While 프라이드 먼스 is used, many Korean LGBTQ+ people prefer the term 무지개달, which literally means 'rainbow moon' or 'rainbow month'.
- Because the phrase is a direct translation, it lacks the specific honorific levels (politeness levels) that typical Korean greetings, like 'hello', must include.
- While 프라이드 (peuraideu) refers to the concept of pride, in many other Korean contexts, this same sound is used to describe the English word 'pride' in a competitive or ego-driven sense.
