What 아자스 means
“Thanks!” — a clipped form of the Japanese ありがとうございます (arigatō gozaimasu), used casually among friends.
Origin
From あざす (azasu), a shortening young people use in Japan too. Clipped that far, it's casual and a bit rough even in Japanese.
Spread
Kyeonggi Ilbo (May 2026), Asia Today (July) and Munhwa Ilbo (October) all covered it as teen slang. Munhwa Ilbo grouped it with 늙크크 and 밤티 as slang that “cuts off” generations.
Careful
It's close to casual speech even in Japanese. Say it to a teacher, a boss or a stranger, and lightness comes through before gratitude.
