#1 TOP DEFINITION
짱 — the best, number one, awesome. Originally used to mean 'the boss' or 'the strongest' in Korean slang. In K-pop and general Korean youth culture, it's used as enthusiastic affirmation — something is just the best. Often combined: 얼짱 (best face), 몸짱 (best body), 춤짱 (best dancer).
Example
“Choreographer's comment on the performance: '짱이야.' That's all. Nothing more needed. The stage spoke for itself.”
