Art in Korean 🇰🇷

예술 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Break “예술” into syllables that sound like “Yeah, School!” to remind you that it represents a field of creativity, just as schools nurture creative art.

Explanation:
• 예술 (romanized as yesul) means “art” and encompasses creative expressions such as painting, sculpture, music, dance, literature, and other forms of aesthetic expression.
• It refers to both the process and the product of creative endeavors.

Other Words with Similar Meaning:
• 미술 (misul) generally refers to the visual arts, such as painting and sculpture.
• 예능 (yeneung) can sometimes be associated with creative performance, though it more commonly means “entertainment” rather than the fine arts.

Alternate Meanings (Slang/Colloquial Use):
• In slang, 예술 can be used to praise someone’s skill or an impressive action. For example, when someone performs an incredible feat, you might hear, “그거 완전 예술이야!” meaning “That’s pure art!”
