#1 TOP DEFINITION
밀당 — push-pull dynamic in romance. From 밀다 (to push) + 당기다 (to pull). The romantic tension of alternately showing interest and pulling back to maintain mystery and attraction. In K-pop, used to describe the energy between members in shipping contexts or to describe an idol's relationship management style in dramas.
Example
“The entire plot of that drama is textbook 밀당 — he's interested, she pulls away; she opens up, he becomes distant. Twenty episodes of this.”
