New Expressions & Buzzwords | ソロ活
Going Solo
This refers to the behavior of those who enjoy time alone, doing as they please. Different from “ohitorisama” or “bocchi,” which imply “loneliness,” this has a positive meaning. The number of restaurants and travel companies that welcome solo-katsu is increasing.
