The Korean word for “Agree” is 인정, romanized as injeong.
Usage tip
Use slang only with friends or people who already speak casually with you. It can sound rude in formal Korean.
Common mistake

Pronunciation Guide
Pronounced 'in-jeong' — 'in' like 'een', 'jeong' rhymes with 'young' with a 'j' start. The 'ng' is nasal.

Cultural Context
인정 originally means 'recognition/acknowledgment' but has evolved into online slang meaning 'I agree' or 'true'. Koreans often just type '인정' as a reply on social media or in group chats. The full verb '인정하다' retains the original meaning. The shortened 'ㅇㅈ' is the common text-speak form.
Editorial note
We flag slang like 인정 for register and audience, since Korean slang can shift quickly and may sound rude outside close friendships.
