"chaebol"

If you watch Korean dramas, you have to know this word because it comes up in every single one of them.  A "chaebol" is someone who is filthy rich and super influential in Korea. In business terms it can mean a huge conglomerate company (ie Samsung or LG). In dramas, the "chaebol" is usually the main male protagonist, who is basically a baller and owns either like fifty factories or hotels or whatever.  He's the Prince Charming, who will woo the poor main lead.
