Modern Korean Slang & Expressions
아싸 / 인싸
assa / inssa
The concept
社恐 / 社牛 — Introvert vs social butterfly
How Koreans say it
From 'outsider/insider.' 아싸 = a loner who avoids the social scene (close to 社恐, social anxiety); 인싸 = the popular, in-the-middle-of-everything social butterfly (社牛). For clinical shyness Koreans also say 낯을 가리다 (to be shy with strangers).
Examples

|---|---|
