#1 TOP DEFINITION

์ฐ โ€” real, genuine, authentic. Used to emphasize that something is the true version of itself, not fake or exaggerated. In K-pop fan culture, ์ฐ is applied to idols who seem genuinely themselves rather than performing a persona โ€” ์ฐํ…์…˜ (jjin tension) means authentic excitement as opposed to forced energy.

Example
