본진
bonjin
🇰🇷 Korean slang from Seoul
What does “본진” mean?
your main fandom, your number-one group
Example
“내 본진은 세븐틴인데 요즘 다른 그룹도 좋아.”
nae bonjineun sebeuntininde yojeum dareun geurupdo joa.
My main group is SEVENTEEN, but lately I like other groups too.
Good to know
Literally “home base”, a word from the game StarCraft.
Who you can say it to
With friends, not your boss
🫂 Friends
The textbook way to say it: 가장 좋아하는 그룹
