gatsaeng

1 definition
#1 TOP DEFINITION

갓생 — the ideal productive life. From 갓 (god, as in 'godlike') + 생 (life). Living a disciplined, growth-focused, maximally productive existence. In K-pop fan communities, 갓생 discourse is common — fans admiring idols' early morning workout routines, multiple-language study sessions, and perfectionist rehearsal habits as examples of 갓생 living.

Example
Jimin's 갓생 is documented: 5am dance practice, vocal training, language study, charity work. The rest of us are just watching from our beds.
