既読
含义: Read receipt — the indicator showing that a message has been read, especially on LINE. Also used broadly to mean 'I saw it but didn't reply.'
While 既読 literally means 'already read,' it gained immense cultural significance through LINE's read receipt feature. The dreaded 既読スルー (reading but not replying) became a major source of social anxiety, especially among young people. The word now extends beyond LINE to describe any situation where someone has clearly seen a message but chosen not to respond.
