Did you know?
- In Korean internet slang, a 'post' that is very popular or gets many views is sometimes called a 개념글, which literally translates to a 'concept post' or 'sensible post'.
- If you want to say you 'posted' a comment, Koreans often use the verb 달다 (dalda), which literally means 'to hang' or 'to attach'.
- If a post is deleted or removed by an administrator, Koreans often use the term 삭제 (deletion), but the act of 'taking down' a post can also be described as 내리다, which is the opposite of the 'lifting' motion in 올리다.
