🎉 What’s “어깨빵”? Korean Slang You Might Hear in Action Scenes!

Did you see the scene where Saja Boys and Huntrix first clash in K-pop Demon Hunters?
Rumi and Jinwoo bump shoulders — BOOM! That moment is what Koreans might call:

👉 어깨빵 (eo-kkae-ppang)

Literally: “Shoulder + Bang!”
It’s a slang term used when someone bumps into another person with their shoulder — sometimes on purpose, like in a fight or a power move.

📌 “어깨빵 놓다” = to shoulder-bump someone intentionally (and sometimes aggressively).
It can sound a bit violent in certain contexts, but among friends or in shows, it’s sometimes just funny or dramatic.


🎂 Bonus Slang: 생일빵 (saeng-il-ppang)

Let’s talk about another fun slang word with 빵 (ppang) in it!
Ever heard of 생일빵? It means “Birthday bang!”

🎉 생일빵 = a playful punch or tap on someone’s birthday.
Friends might say, “생일빵 해야지~” (Time for your birthday bang~) and give a light (friendly!) hit on the arm or back.

⚠️ But remember — it should always be gentle and friendly.
Not everyone enjoys physical jokes, so make sure they’re okay with it first!

Korean Slang Meaning When to Use
어깨빵 Shoulder bump (often aggressive) In a crowd, fights, or dramas
