What 핵인싸 means
Someone trend-savvy who gets along brilliantly with everyone in a group: the insider of insiders.
Origin
A blend of 핵, an intensifier, and 인싸, short for “insider” (iNews24). Who coined it is unconfirmed.
In English
An English “insider” is someone with privileged information. “People person” or “life of the party” is closer to 핵인싸.
Opposite
아싸 (“outsider”), intensified as 개아싸. In a 2020 Saramin survey, 44.1% of office workers called themselves “voluntary” 아싸.
