#1 TOP DEFINITION
떡상 — sudden dramatic rise. When something shoots up unexpectedly — a song's chart position, a stock price, a follower count. In K-pop fan communities, tteoksang describes the exhilarating moment when a song or artist breaks out virally. The opposite is 떡락 (tteoknak), a sudden crash.
Example
“After their Coachella performance, BLACKPINK saw a tteoksang across all streaming platforms — their numbers doubled overnight.”
