🔥찢었다

/jjij-eot-da/

"Jjij-eot-da" literally means "tore it," but in Korean slang it means someone absolutely killed a stage, performance, game, outfit, or result. It is close to English reactions like "slay," "ate," or "that was legendary."

origin · Source

The phrase comes from the ordinary verb "찢다," meaning "to tear." In entertainment, sports, hip-hop, idol fandom, and online comment culture, "무대를 찢다" and "찢었다" spread as hype reactions for a performance or result that felt overwhelming. The exact first use is unclear, so 2010 is an approximate marker for its broader online and pop-culture spread rather than a confirmed coinage year.
