What Does "sarang" (사랑) Mean in Korean?

This word is appropriate for expressing deep affection in various contexts: to romantic partners, family members (parents, children, siblings), or very close friends, especially during heartfelt moments. It can also be used to convey intense passion or fondness for a hobby, a beloved pet, or even for one's country or a specific cultural aspect, albeit sometimes with a slightly hyperbolic tone in non-human contexts.
