Definition in Korean

증명이나 확인을 위해 찍은 사진.cheung myeong i na hwa gi neul wi hae jji geun sa jin

Word origin

The word combines 인증 (injeung, "verification") with 샷 (syat, "shot"), a Korean borrowing from English, linking the idea of proof with a picture.

Usage tips

  • The term usually suggests social or practical confirmation rather than an official document, so the situation determines how much proof the picture provides.
