1. What does it mean?

월요병 literally means Monday sickness. It is an everyday expression for feeling sluggish, reluctant, or low in energy as work or school resumes after a weekend.

Also written or said as wollyobyeong

2. The nuance

Despite 병 meaning illness, casual use is not a medical diagnosis. It describes the familiar mood around Monday, not every possible cause of fatigue.

3. Examples

“일요일 저녁부터 월요병이 오는 기분이야.”

I feel the Monday blues starting as early as Sunday evening.

“월요병이라 그런지 아침 준비가 느렸어.”

Maybe it was the Monday blues, but I got ready slowly this morning.
