Inssa

Inssa is a Korean slang term that describes a person who is very popular, trendy, and socially adept, often to the point of being an "insider." The term is a portmanteau of the Korean words "insider" and "saenggyeok" (personality). An inssa is someone who effortlessly navigates social situations, is well-liked by many, and seems to always be in the know about the latest trends, fashion, and popular culture. They are often seen as confident, charismatic, and have a large circle of friends.

The concept of an inssa is often contrasted with an "outssa," which refers to someone who is perceived as an outsider, awkward, or not as socially connected. The inssa is someone who fits in perfectly and thrives in social environments, making them a desirable figure in many Korean social contexts, particularly among younger generations. Being an inssa can be associated with having a good sense of style, being witty, and possessing a positive and outgoing personality.
