On the Night the Full Moon Rises‧⁺ ⊹˚.🌕

Why Koreans care

“보름달” (boreumdal, “Full Moon”) is also the title of a Sunmi song, so the title’s “day the full moon rises” doubles as a direct musical reference.

In the Korean comments

One comment plays on two related-sounding verbs: “보름달은 뜨고 난 들뜨고” (boreumdal-eun tteugo nan deultteugo, “The full moon rises, and I get excited”). Another commenter explicitly calls the pairing “원조와의 콜라보” (wonjowa-ui kollabo, “a collaboration with the original”), identifying Sunmi as the original performer behind the reference.

What the words mean

“둘이 얼굴합이 대박” (duri eolgulhabi daebak, “their faces look amazing together”) uses 얼굴합 (eolgulhap), literally a “combination of faces.” In casual fandom language, it means that two people look especially visually harmonious together.
