Question @seoul_surfer 2h ago

What does "폼 미쳤다" mean in this screenshot?

I saw this on Instagram. Translators say "Form is crazy", but what does "form" actually mean here?

Great question! "폼 미쳤다" literally means "form is crazy", but it's used to say that someone's skills, performance, or even looks are at their absolute peak right now. It's a huge compliment!
