Cross-cultural

In Korean fandom chats, 😤 is often used to show overwhelming excitement for an idol — like “he’s so perfect it makes me angry,” expressing intense admiration through mock frustration.

Differences between 😤 (face with steam from nose) and 😠 (angry face)

Both show an angry expression with furrowed brows. 😤 conveys puffed cheeks and steam, a mix of pride, feigned annoyance, or fired up determination. 😠 reads as straightforward anger, with a harder edge and less playfulness. Its mood is more serious and resentful. The emotional intensity is grimmer and less performative, conveying genuine irritation or frustration rather than a boastful huff.

Usage

Use 😤 when you want to show playful determination, a proud ‘I can do it’ attitude, or a mock complaint among friends. Use 😠 when you are genuinely annoyed or seriously frustrated and need to convey that the situation is not a joke.
