What Koreans really mean
설레 (seolle) is the verb stem of 설레다, describing a heart fluttering or pleasant anticipation — gentle nervousness before something good. It is distinctly positive, often felt before an awaited event or when encountering someone attractive. Beyond romance, it can describe the thrill of a new journey or experience.
