文化的背景
This phrase captures the Korean concept of 'emotional healing' through sensory experiences. It became particularly trendy with the rise of 'mung-ttairigi' (spacing out) culture, where people seek quiet spaces to recharge. It's often associated with the nostalgic 'analog' vibe of vinyl records and quiet cafes in neighborhoods like Seongsu-dong or Yeonnam-dong.
Pair it with 'Atmosphere'
This phrase works best when you also mention the `분위기` (atmosphere). Saying '분위기 좋고 음악을 마시기 딱 좋네요' (The vibe is great and it's perfect for drinking music) makes you sound like a local.
Don't be too literal
If you say this while actually drinking water and listening to music, people might think you are choking on your drink! Make sure the focus is on the emotional immersion.

What It Means
음악을 마시다 isn't about literally swallowing sound waves. It’s a poetic way to say you are savoring music with all your senses. Think of it like sipping a fine wine or a warm cup of tea. You aren't just hearing the notes; you are absorbing the mood, the lyrics, and the rhythm. It implies a sense of relaxation and deep appreciation. When you use this, you're telling people that the music is nourishing your spirit.
How To Use It
You use this phrase when the music is more than just background noise. It’s perfect for those moments when you’re sitting still and just... being. You’ll mostly see it used with the object marker 을 (eul). You can say 음악을 마셔요 (I drink music) or 음악을 마시는 중이에요 (I am in the middle of drinking music). It sounds a bit sophisticated, so it’s great for social media captions or describing a cozy night in.
When To Use It
This expression shines in quiet, atmospheric settings. Use it when you are at a jazz bar with dim lighting. Use it on a rainy afternoon while staring out the window with headphones on. It’s perfect for texting a friend about your weekend plans at a record cafe. If the music makes you feel like you're in a movie scene, this is the phrase for you. It’s a very "vibey" expression.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use this for high-energy, aggressive, or chaotic sounds. If you're at a heavy metal concert or a loud construction site, "drinking" the noise would sound very strange! It’s also not for casual background music while you're doing chores. If you’re vacuuming to K-pop, you’re just 음악을 듣다 (listening to music). Using it for loud EDM might make people think you're being sarcastic or just confused.
Cultural Background
Koreans have a deep love for 분위기 (bun-wi-gi), which means 'atmosphere' or 'vibe.' There is a long cultural tradition of appreciating art and nature as if they were physical sustenance. This phrase likely grew in popularity alongside the 'LP Bar' and 'Music Cafe' culture in Seoul. In these spaces, the music is the main course, not just a side dish. It reflects a slow-living philosophy that values emotional rest over constant productivity.
Common Variations
You might also hear 음악에 취하다 (to be drunk on music). This is a step up from drinking it—it means the music has completely overwhelmed your senses! Another variation is 분위기를 마시다 (to drink in the atmosphere). Both are used to describe those magical moments where you feel totally connected to your surroundings. If you want to sound extra poetic, you can say 선율을 마시다 (to drink the melody).
使い方のコツ
This is a metaphorical expression. While it's grammatically A1 level, the usage is more common in 'sentimental' (감성) contexts like social media, journals, or deep conversations about art.
Pair it with 'Atmosphere'
This phrase works best when you also mention the `분위기` (atmosphere). Saying '분위기 좋고 음악을 마시기 딱 좋네요' (The vibe is great and it's perfect for drinking music) makes you sound like a local.

If you say this while actually drinking water and listening to music, people might think you are choking on your drink! Make sure the focus is on the emotional immersion.
The 'Drunk' Connection
In Korea, being 'drunk' on something (`취하다`) isn't always negative. It often means you are deeply moved. `음악을 마시다` is the first step to `음악에 취하다`!
