What it means
취향 refers to personal taste or preference — what you're drawn to aesthetically or personally. 취향이다 = it's (my) taste. Very common in Korean when discussing what you like.
Nuance & when to use
취향 저격 = hitting someone's taste (a viral Korean phrase meaning something perfectly matches your preferences). 네 취향이야 = It's your type/style. 취향이 같다 = to have the same taste. Popular in K-pop fan culture: "내 취향 저격이에요" = This hits my taste perfectly.
⚠ Common mistake
취향 ≠ 좋아함 (liking). 취향 implies a deeper aesthetic or personal style preference, not just casual liking.
