덕질
deokjil
🇰🇷 Korean slang from Seoul
What does “덕질” mean?
being a superfan (fangirling, fanboying)
Example
“요즘 덕질하느라 돈이 없어.”
yojeum deokjilhaneura doni eopseo.
I'm broke these days from all the fan stuff.
Good to know
From 오타쿠 → 오덕후 → 덕후 (superfan). The fan is a 덕후, what they do is 덕질.
Who you can say it to
