What 씽 means

On its own, 씽 has no fixed translation.

Within Korean sound-symbolic words, 씽 can evoke a sharp whizz or something moving quickly through the air.

Korean mimetic words often repeat a syllable; 씽씽 gives that rushing sound a fuller effect. By itself, 씽 needs the surrounding word or phrase to settle its reading.

What does 고고씽 mean?

고고씽 is a playful “let’s go” or “let’s start.”

Here 씽 adds wordplay after 고고 (“go, go”) instead of a separate dictionary meaning. A 2007 forum discussion records 고고씽 in casual chat and game talk; participants there disagreed about where it came from.

씽씽 is sound-symbolic; 고고씽 is playful, casual slang.

In a formal message, 고고씽 can sound too playful; use a neutral invitation.
