秀才キャラ
의미: The 'smart kid' persona or role within a friend group — the person everyone expects to be academically brilliant.
秀才キャラ describes the social role of being the designated smart person in a group. Once labelled as 秀才キャラ, there is constant pressure to maintain high grades, have all the answers, and help others study. The person may have earned this reputation genuinely or through a single impressive achievement, but either way the キャラ (character role) becomes a social expectation that is hard to shake. Some secretly struggle under the pressure while maintaining the facade.

✗ 잘못된 표현
- 「秀才キャラなのにこんなのもわからないの?」は禁句 (Saying 'you're supposed to be the smart one and you don't even know this?' is hurtful)说「你不是学霸吗这个都不会?」是禁忌话语Decir «se supone que eres el listo del grupo y ¿no sabes ni esto?» es hiriente.「공부 캐릭터인데 이런 것도 모르냐?」는 금기어다
