意思
Describes stars emitting flickering light in the night sky.
文化背景
The phrase is the title of a legendary radio show '별이 빛나는 밤에' (Starry Night), which has been a cultural touchstone for generations of Koreans. Idols are often called '별' (stars), and their presence is described as '반짝이다'. Fans use lightsticks to create a 'starry' effect in stadiums. Poet Yun Dong-ju's 'Counting Stars at Night' (별 헤는 밤) uses stars to represent longing and purity, often using '반짝' imagery. Koreans use '반짝' for anything that is new and clean, like a '반짝반짝' new car or a clean house.
Use for Eyes

Don't use for Sun
Never use this for the sun. It makes the sun sound like a tiny Christmas light.
