2026 BIGHIT MUSIC Global Audition

Why Koreans care

The closing cheer 모두 파이팅 (modu paiting, “good luck, everyone”) uses 파이팅 (paiting) as a Korean expression of encouragement, not a call to fight.

In the Korean comments

One commenter invents a cheeky two-person exchange, rendered in translation as: “We’re BIGHIT’s slaves too!” followed immediately by “Be quiet!” The joke turns the established artists into fellow workers under the same company rather than distant audition judges.

What the words mean

존잘 (jonjal, “damn handsome”) in the comment about Yeonjun is clipped slang derived from 존나 잘생겼다 (jonna jalsaenggyeotda, “damn good-looking”). It is an emphatic, highly casual compliment, with a rougher edge than simply calling someone handsome.
