BTS Jin's "Epiphany" Included in Top 10 English words in 2018

The America dictionary "Merriam-Webster" selected Top 10 English words in 2018 and BTS Jin's solo song's title ‘Epiphany’ took the 4th place.



Epiphany has been included in this article due to the spike in search for the word during the release of the BTS "Love Yourself: Answer" trailer.


Media Said "There's nothing remarkable about the word epiphany experiencing a spike in lookups in early January: the earliest use of the word is to refer to a Christian festival held on January 6th in honor of the coming of the three kings to the infant Jesus Christ.

But lookups of epiphany spiked in August when the word featured in the trailer for a song in a forthcoming album from the K-Pop group BTS. In the song, the word functions in its metaphorical senses having to do with the sudden perception of the essential nature or meaning of something, or an illuminating realization. The word's Greek ancestor, epiphainein, means "to manifest."
