🇰🇷 Korean slang from Seoul
What does “국룰” mean?
the unwritten rule, how it’s always done
Example
“노래방 가면 마지막 곡은 발라드, 국룰이지.”
noraebang gamyeon majimak gogeun balladeu, gungnuriji.
At karaoke the last song is a ballad, that's the rule.
Good to know

Even better. I'll shoot a fancam and send it to you.
