🎵 Meaning of “음악에 맞춰 걍 춤 춰”
📌 “음악에 맞춰 걍 춤 춰”
🔹 “Just dance to the music.”
💡 Breaking it down:
- 음악 (eumak) → Music 🎵
- 에 맞춰 (e matchwo) → To match with, to sync with
- 걍 (gyang) → Slang for “just” (short for 그냥, which means “just / simply”)
- 춤 춰 (chum chwo) → Dance! (imperative form, commanding someone to dance)
This phrase encourages someone to let loose and dance freely to the rhythm of the music! 🕺💃
🔹 Casual & Playful Tone:
The use of “걍” instead of “그냥” makes it sound more relaxed and natural, as commonly spoken among young people or in K-Pop lyrics.
📖 Grammar & Expression Breakdown
📖 “음악에 맞춰” (Sync with the music)
- “~에 맞추다” → To match something with, to adjust to
- 💡 Example: “박자에 맞춰 노래 불러!” (Sing along with the beat!)
📖 “걍 춤 춰” (Just dance!)
- “걍” → Shortened slang version of “그냥” (just / simply)
