Word origin

This term is borrowed from English meeting, but its general gathering sense narrowed in Korean to a social event for meeting potential romantic partners.

Usage tips

  • English speakers may hear meeting and expect a business appointment, so this loanword is a useful reminder that familiar English-based words can develop a more specific everyday meaning in Korean.
