운동하면 심장이 빨리 뛴다.un dong ha myeon sim jang i ppal li ttwin da

Your heart beats fast when you exercise.

“Heart” in Korean is 심장 (simjang).

The body's central pump, and by extension a central part of something.

첫 데이트에 심장이 두근거렸다.cheot te i teu e sim jang i tu geun geo ryeot tta

My heart pounded on my first date.

In Korean, this word keeps a clear anatomy focus, while English often uses the same word for feelings, so body-related context helps prevent overtranslation.
