뭐 vs 무슨 — What’s the difference? 🇰🇷
In English, both can mean “what.”
But in Korean, they’re used a little differently.
  • 뭐 is usually used with a verb.
뭐 먹어요?
= What are you eating?
뭐 좋아해요?
= What do you like?
  • 무슨 is usually used before a noun.
무슨 음식 좋아해요?
= What food do you like?
무슨 영화 봐요?
= What movie are you watching?
Easy way to remember:
뭐 + verb
무슨 + noun
Your turn 👇
How would you say:
“What are you doing?”
