What 쿵 means

It means a deep, heavy thud. In Korean, 쿵 is a sound word for a heavy impact: a large object falling or colliding, one drum hit, or a distant boom. With a pounding heart, it conveys shock or nerves.

Korean poems, letters, and other writing from the 18th century used sound-imitating words, sometimes with meanings beyond literal noise. 쿵 belongs to that sound-word tradition.

Informal and vivid: it reads like a sound effect.

In formal messages, name the event.
