#1 TOP DEFINITION

μ–Έν”Œ β€” media play. Short for μ–Έλ‘  ν”Œλ ˆμ΄ (media play). Strategic manipulation of media coverage β€” paying for favorable articles, arranging coordinated press releases, or orchestrating public moments β€” to boost an artist's profile or manage a scandal. Fans use eonpeul as a criticism when they feel an artist is getting undeserved hype through manufactured press.

Example
β€œFans accused the label of eonpeul after three separate 'spontaneous' news articles about the group dropped on the same day as a competitor's comeback.”
